This research centers on laying the groundwork for the application of Bayesian statistical methods for the calibration of parameters relevant to modeling a hypersonic shock layer with the Direct Simulation Monte Carlo (DSMC) method. The DSMC method used in this work employs the algorithm of Bird (1994), with modifications to allow for the efficient simulation of a 1D hypersonic shock. The Larse...

Shock wave theory was studied in literature by many authors. This article presents a survey with references about various topics related to shock waves: Hyperbolic conservation laws, Well-posedness theory, Compactness theory, Shock and reaction-di¤usion wave, The CJ and ZND theory, Existence of detonation in Majda’s model, Premixed laminar ‡ame, Multidimensional gas ‡ows, Multidimensional Riema...

A high-speed projectile in combustible gas can initiate and stabilize a detonation wave under suitable conditions [1]. In this paper, numerical simulations of projectile induced detonation waves are presented. Using a one-step irreversible reaction model, the transition from shock-induced combustion to stabilized oblique detonation is observed via numerical simulations. An analysis of this tran...

A method for classifying n-species reaction-diffusion models, admitting shock solutions is presented. The most general one-dimensional twospecies reaction-diffusion model with nearest neighbor interactions admitting uniform product measures as the stationary states is studied. Satisfying more constraints, these models may experience single-shock solutions. These models are generalized to multi-...

Staphylococcus aureus is a major causative pathogen of clinical and subclinical mastitis of dairy domestic ruminants. This agent produces a variety of extracellular toxins and virulence factors including Toxic Shock Syndrome Toxin-1 (TSST-1) which is the major cause of Toxic Shock Syndrome (TSS). In this study 58 S. aureus isolates obtained from 9 dairy herds in East and West Azerbaijan provinc...

A small monthly macroeconometric model of the Canadian economy built around three cointegrating relationships linking financial and real variables is estimated over the 1975-2002 period. One of the cointegrating relationships allows the identification of a supply shock as the only shock affecting permanently the stock market and a demand shock leading to important transitory stock market overva...

LPS, a cell wall component of all Gram-negative bacteria, is well known to be responsible for a large part of the toxic manifestations associated with infections by such bacteria. When administered to experimental animals, LPSinduces pathophysiologic changes that vary with the experimental conditions . A generalized and potentially lethal inflammatory reaction, known as the generalized Shwartzm...

abstract this study uses annual data over the period 2005-2014 and the panel vecm approach to examine financial inclusion and monetary policy effectiveness in africa. the study shows that financial inclusion and monetary policy effectiveness are linked by a set of long-run relationships. policy reaction to the positive financial inclusion shock is not significant. policy reaction to the positiv...
