Background and Objectives: Despite superior privileges that multiphase motors offer in comparison with their three-phase counterparts, in the field of multiphase linear induction motors (LIMs) few studies have been reported until now. To combine the advantages of both multiphase motors and linear induction motors, this paper concentrates on multiphase LIM drives considering the end effects. Met...

vasomotor hot flash is the most common and distressful complication of menopausal women. its treatment is the most frequent clinical challenge. as a result, an effective and harmless therapy is needed. this double-blind controlled clinical trial was conducted to determine the effects of licorice roots on the relief and recurrence of hot flash in menopausal women referring to the healthcare cent...

The role of direct numerical simulations (DNS) of multiphase flows, where all continuum length and time scales are fully resolved, in validation and verification of models for the average flow, is discussed. Although DNS are usually limited to relatively small problems and are generally impractical for predictions of full-scale multiphase systems, DNS offer unprecedented data and insight. Indee...

For some of the EOS models the dimension of equilibrium problem can be reduced. Stability and difficulties in implementation are among the problems of flash calculation. In this work, a new reduction technique is presented to prepare a reduced number of equilibrium equations. Afterwards, a number of appropriate solution variables are selected for the prepared equation system to solve the equati...

The multiphase leisure experience looks at the experience as a five phase process that includes anticipation, travel to, onsite behavior, travel from, and recollection. This continuum depicts a dynamic experience, one that evolves and matures across the five phases. The purpose of this study is to take this model and apply it to sport events. Understanding sport events as a multiphase experienc...

Design and Analysis of Multiphase DC-DC Converters with Coupled Inductors. (May 2007) Meng Shi, B.Eng., Shanghai Jiao Tong University, China Chair of Advisory Committee: Dr. Prasad Enjeti In this thesis, coupled inductors have been applied to multiphase DC-DC converters. Detailed analysis has been done to investigate the benefits of directly coupled inductors and inversely coupled inductors, co...

In this paper, we formulate the problem of natural image matting as one of solving Poisson equations with the matte gradient field. Our approach, which we call Poisson matting, has the following advantages. First, the matte is directly reconstructed from a continuous matte gradient field by solving Poisson equations using boundary information from a user-supplied trimap. Second, by interactivel...

In the past, the two major biomineralization motifs, biosilicification and biocalcification, were considered as two discrete processes. However, there is increasing evidence of the existence of an inextricable relationship between biosilica and calcium-based biominerals. The recent discovery of a unique silica–chitin–aragonite biocomposite in one genus of demosponges (Verongida) introduces a no...
