A normal form for nonlinear resonance of embedded solitons is derived for a coupled two-wave system that generalizes the second-harmonic-generating model. This wave system is non-Hamiltonian in general. An embedded soliton is a localized mode of the nonlinear system that coexists with the linear wave spectrum. It occurs as a result of a codimension-one bifurcation of non-local wave solutions. N...

In order to manage the outdoor thermal environment with regard to human health and the environmental impact of waste heat, quantitative evaluations are indispensable. It is necessary to use a thermal environment evaluation index. The purpose of this paper is to clarify the relationship between the psychological thermal responses of the human body and winter outdoor thermal environment variables...

background: the fatal effect of ionizing radiation on cells depends on linear energy transfer (let) level. the distribution of ionizing radiation is sparse and homogeneous for low let radiations such as x or γ, but it is dense and concentrated for high let radiation such as heavy-ions radiation. material and methods: chinese hamster ovary cells (cho-k1) were exposed to 4 gy fe-ion 2000 kev/m. ...

this paper presents an approach to modeling of field penetration and gives contribution to understanding the real effects of the fields and the sensitivity of human model to electromagnetic radiation generated by mobile antenna. when a human body is exposed to the electromagnetic radiation, because human body contain 70% of liquid, and it contain more liquid near of head, heart, abdomen (near o...

this paper presents the results of a study on the radiation characteristics of a plasma triangular antenna in the vhf band (30-300mhz) applying the method of moment. deriving the current distribution of the antenna, it shows the relationship between radiation characteristics of the plasma antenna and the plasma parameters. both theoretical and numerical results indicate that if the plasma frequ...

Because of fluctuation in leg tension, pitch motion is very effective fatigue and life safety of leg elements in tension leg structures (TLSs). In this paper an exact solution for pitch vibration of a TLS interacting with ocean wave is presented. The legs of TLP are considered as elastic springs. The flow is assumed to be irrotational and single-valued velocity potentials are defined. The effec...

A wave is a disturbance that propagates through space and time, usually with the transference of energy from one point to another without permanent displacement of particles of the medium. The particles under this situation only oscillate about their equilibrium positions. If the particles oscillate in the direction of wave propagation, then the wave is called longitudinal wave. However, if the...

It is proposed that shock wave dynamics within the gas of a small bubble explain sonoluminescence, the emission of visible radiation. As the bubble radius oscillates, shock waves develop from spherical sound waves created inside the gas bubble. As any such shock propagates toward the center, it strengthens and, upon convergence and subsequent reflection, temperature of gas inside bubble increas...
