using of nanofluids and ducts with corrugated walls are both supposed to enhance heat transfer, by increasing the heat transfer fluid conductivity and the heat transfer area respectively. use of a diverging duct with a jet at inlet section may further increase heat transfer by creating recirculation zones inside the duct. in this work two-dimensional incompressible laminar flow of a nanofluid e...

In order to characterize the neural signature of a motor imagery (MI) task, the present study investigates for the first time the oscillation characteristics including both of the time-frequency measurements, event related spectral perturbation and intertrial coherence (ITC) underlying the variations in the temporal measurements (event related potentials, ERP) directly related to a MI task. We ...

Objective: The error-related negativity (ERN) is an event-related potential (ERP) peak occurring between 50 and 100 ms after the commission of a speeded motor response that the subject immediately realizes to be in error. The ERN is believed to index brain processes that monitor action outcomes. Our previous analyses of ERP and EEG data suggested that the ERN is dominated by partial phase-locki...

Changes in hippocampal activity and heart rate were studied in dogs during elaboration of defensive and alimentary conditioned reflexes and switching-over between different types of reinforcement. Conditional stimuli enhanced synchronization and increased frequency of theta wave trains in hippocampal electrical activity. Parallelly to emotional tension of the dogs a significant rise in amplitud...

Analysis of amplitude and phase characteristics for delta, theta, and alpha bands at localized time instant from EEG signals is important for the characterizing information processing in the brain. In this paper, complex demodulation method was used to analyze EEG (Electroencephalographic) signal, particularly for auditory evoked potential response signal, with sufficient time resolution and de...

evaluation of the cardiovascular system of canine pediatrics requires awareness of the anatomical and physiological changes occurring from birth to six months of age. the aim of this study was to report electrocardiographic changes in the littermate mongrel dogs from birth tosix months. serial six-lead electrocardiograms were recorded from ten normal littermate mongrel dogs kept on right latera...

We establish a Green-Nagdhi model equation for capillary-gravity waves in (2+1) dimensions. Through the derivation of an asymptotic equation governing short-wave dynamics, we show that this system possesses (1+1) traveling-wave solutions for almost all the values of the Bond number theta (the special case theta=1/3 is not studied). These waves become singular when their amplitude is larger than...
