Burn treatment is an area of major importance in medicine, however, there is not currently an analytic method to determine the depth and magnitude of burns. Complications, such as a relative lack of knowledge of the specific thermal properties of skin and the relation between heat transfer and biological processes, have prevented a comprehensive model to explain the field of bioheat transfer. R...

(Watanabe [17]). But we insist, in this paper, we can attain the critical case if we assume some structure condition on the operator σ(X,D). This case is crucial in dealing with further applications to the low regularity solutions to nonlinear problems, where the structure condition corresponds to the null structure of the nonlinearity. We explain our strategy by generalizing the equation, so t...

Most of the efforts in formal methods have historically been devoted to comparing a design against a set of requirements. The validation of the requirements themselves, however, has often been disregarded, and it can be considered a largely open problem, which poses several challenges. The first challenge is given by the fact that requirements are often written in natural language, and may thus...

17 The domination game is played on a graph G by two players who alternately take 18 turns by choosing a vertex such that in each turn at least one previously undominated 19 vertex is dominated. The game is over when each vertex becomes dominated. One 20 of the players, namely Dominator, wants to finish the game as soon as possible, while 21 the other one wants to delay the end. The number of t...

We report a series of high-resolution N-body simulations designed to examine the internal physical properties of dark matter halos. A total of fifteen halos, each represented by ∼ 1 million particles within the virial radius, have been simulated covering the mass range of 2 × 10 ∼ 5 × 10hM⊙. As the first application of these simulations, we have examined the density profiles of the halos. We fo...

Within the domain of Systems Engineering the need to perform property aggregation to understand, analyze and manage complex systems is unequivocal. This can be seen in numerous domains such as capability analysis, Mission Essential Competencies (MEC) and Critical Design Features (CDF). Furthermore, the need to consider uncertainty propagation as well as the sensitivity of related properties wit...

The quantitative structure-property relationship (QSPR) method is used to develop the correlation between structures of refrigerants (198 compounds) and their critical temperature. Molecular descriptors calculated from structure alone were used to represent molecular structures. A subset of the calculated descriptors selected using a genetic algorithm (GA) was used in the QSPR model development...
