Twenty-two straight run vacuum residues extracted from extra light, medium, heavy, and heavy crude oils nine different hydrocracked were characterized for their bulk properties SARA composition using four eight fractions (SAR-ADTM) methods. Intercriteria analysis was employed to determine the statistically meaningful relations between data properties. The determined strong modeled computer alge...

We obtain and solve algebraic eigenvalue equations that predict the dependence of the pulse energy of a dispersion-managed soliton on pulse duration, chirp, and dispersion-map parameters. We demonstrate that a variational ansatz based on a Gaussian pulse shape remains useful even when the actual pulse shape is not Gaussian, and we show that the enhancement factor saturates as the pulse duration...

STUDY OBJECTIVE To examine (a) changes in the shape of the distribution of dietary fat intake as the mean dietary fat intake of the population shifts and (b) implications for setting national dietary goals. DESIGN Data on the percentage of energy from total fat, saturates, monounsaturates, polyunsaturates, and the P:S ratio were analysed for two dietary intervention trials and six cross secti...

Abstract As the electric field increases, the induced birefringence of a polymer-stabilized blue-phase liquid crystal gradually deviates from the conventional Kerr effect and finally saturates. A new convergence model, named extended Kerr effect, is proposed to explain this saturation phenomenon. This model will give a more accurate account on the electro-optic effect of the emerging bluephase ...

Direct Numerical Simulations of a linearly stratified bounded fluid in decaying turbulence are performed. The abscence of vertical periodicity allows the stratification of the system to evolve in time. We observe that mixing efficiency increases as a function of the Richardson number Ri, and saturates to a maximum value of 0.25. This evolution adjusts quantitatively to the statistical predictio...

The spatial view of the interaction region of colliding high energy protons (in terms of impact parameter) is considered. It is shown that the region of inelastic collisions has a very peculiar shape. It saturates for central collisions at an energy of 7 TeV. We speculate on the further evolution with energy, which is contrasted to the ”black disk” picture.

A spatially-discrete sine-Gordon system with some novel features is described. There is a topological or Bogomol'nyi lower bound on the energy of a kink, and an explicit static kink which saturates this bound. There is no Peierls potential barrier, and consequently the motion of a kink is simpler, especially at low speeds. At higher speeds, it radiates and slows down.

Recently Hertog, Horowitz, and Maeda have argued that cosmic censorship can be generically violated in string theory in anti-de Sitter spacetime by considering a collapsing bubble of a scalar field whose mass saturates the Breitenlohner-Freedman bound. We study this system numerically, and find that black holes form rather than naked singularities, implying that cosmic censorship is upheld.
