due to its critical impact and significant destructive nature during and after seismic events, soil liquefaction and liquefactioninduced lateral ground spreading have been increasingly important topics in the geotechnical earthquake engineering field during the past four decades. the aim of this research is to develop an empirical model for the assessment of liquefaction-induced lateral ground ...

clarithromycin (cla), a broad-spectrum macrolide, is a poorly soluble drug with dissolution rate limited absorption. the aim of this investigation was to prepare cla nanoparticles from a ternary ground mixture in the presence of sodium lauryl sulfate (sls) and polyvinyl pyrrolidone (pvp) as co-grinding water-soluble compounds, in order to improve the drug dissolution rate. different weight rati...

Optimization of the sectional wing in ground effect (WIG) has been studied using ahigh order numerical procedure and response surface method (RSM). Initially, the effects of the ground clearance, angle of attack, thickness, and camber of wing have been investigated by a high-resolutionscheme, which is highlystrong and accurate. In the numerical simulation, Normalized Variable Diagram (NVD) sche...

The off-diagonal profile φ od (v) associated with a local operator φ̂(v) (order parameter or energy density) close to the boundary of a semi-infinite strip with width L is obtained at criticality using conformal methods. It involves the surface exponent x φ and displays a simple universal behaviour which crosses over from surface finite-size scaling when v/L is held constant to corner finite-siz...

We show numerically that, in a Josephson ladder with periodic boundary conditions and subject to a suitable transverse magnetic field, a vortex excitation can spontaneously breakup into two or more fractional excitations. If the ladder has N plaquettes, and N is divisible by an integer q, then in an applied transverse field of 1 /q flux quanta per plaquette the ground state is a regular pattern...

We consider low-energy excitation structures of N-leg integer-spin ladder and tube systems with an antiferromagnetic (AF) intrachain coupling and a uniform external field. The tube means the ladder with the periodic boundary condition along the interchain (rung) direction. Odd-leg AF-rung tubes have a frustration. In order to analyze all systems including frustrated tubes, we apply a field-theo...

An interior point cutting plane algorithm for solving Maximum Cut problems of a particular structure is described. The problem of interest is determining the ground states of two dimensional J Ising spin glasses on square lattices with nearest neighbour interactions and periodic boundary conditions. Computational results for grids of sizes up to 100 100 are presented. An estimate of the ground ...
