This study deals with the three-dimensional flow of a chemically reacting magnetohydrodynamic Sisko fluid over a bidirectional stretching surface filled with the ferrous nanoparticles in the presence of non-uniform heat source/sink, nonlinear thermal radiation, and suction/injection. After applying the self-suitable similarity transforms, the nonlinear ordinary differential equations are solved...

In the present paper, nonlinear behavior of mass concrete simulated by smeared crack model is combined with Endurance Time Analysis (ETA) method for studying seismic response of arch dams. ETA is a time-history based dynamic pushover procedure in which special predesigned intensifying acceleration functions are used for analysis and estimation of structural responses in various performance leve...

In the present study, the nonlinear model of non-Newtonian blood flow in cosine-shape stenosed elastic artery is numerically examined. The model is carried out for axisymmetric, two-dimensional and fully developed blood flow. The vessel wall is assumed to be have time-dependent radius that is important factor for study of blood flow. The cosine-shape stenosis convert to rigid artery by using a ...

In the age of technology, it is vital to cool down different parts of a device to use it more beneficially. Using nanofluids is one of the most common methods which has shown very effective results. In this paper, we have rephrased a classic equation in fluid mechanics, i.e. the Falkner-Skan boundary layer equation, in order to be used for nanofluid. This nonlinear equation, which was presented...

We perform molecular dynamics simulations of model frictionless granular systems undergoing boundary-driven planar shear flow in two spatial dimensions with the goal of developing a more complete understanding of how dense particulate systems respond to applied shear. In particular, we are interested in determining when these systems will possess linear velocity profiles and when they will deve...

New chemical entities often exhibit nonlinear pharmacokinetics (PK) profiles in experimental animals. However, the number of studies that have focused on species differences in nonlinear PK is very limited; thus, the aim of this study was to clarify the mechanism of the nonlinear PK of E2074 (2-[(2R)-2-fluoro-3-{(3r)-[(3-fluorobenzyl)oxy]-8-azabicyclo[3.2.1]oct-8-yl}propyl]-4,5-dimethyl-2,4-dih...

Considering profiles as functional variables, two control charts are proposed for their monitoring in phase II. Due to its conformity with the nature of real-world profiles, applying functional model leads to proposed control charts obtained through functional data analysis techniques with desired features. These include simplicity in calculation and possibility of using them for different prof...

However, the number of studies that have focused on species differences in nonlinear PK is very limited; thus, the aim of this study was to clarify the mechanism of the nonlinear PK of E2074 (2-[(2R)-2-fluoro-3-{(3r)[(3-fluorobenzyl)oxy]-8-azabicyclo[3.2.1]oct-8-yl}propyl]-4,5-dimethyl2,4-dihyd...

Profile monitoring is a relatively new technique in quality control best used where the process data follows a profile (or curve) at each time period. Little work has been done on the monitoring on nonlinear profiles. Previous work has assumed that the measurements within a profile are uncorrelated. To relax this restriction we propose the use of nonlinear mixed models to monitor the nonlinear ...
