This paper presents a statistical approach to aggregating speed and phase (directional) information for vascular segmentation of phase contrast magnetic resonance angiograms (PC-MRA). Rather than relying on speed information alone, as done by others and in our own work, we demonstrate that including phase information as a priori knowledge in a Markov random field (MRF) model can improve the qua...

it seems using the maxwell-stefan (m-s) diffusion model in combination with the vacancy solutiontheory (vst) and the single-component adsorption data provides a superior, qualitative, andquantitative prediction of diffusion in zeolites. in the m-s formulation, thermodynamic factor (г) isan essential parameter which must be estimated by an adsorption isotherm. researchers usually utilizethe simp...

We present in this paper an original ab initio Maxwell–Schrödinger model and a methodology to simulate intense ultrashort laser pulses interacting with a 3D H2 -gas in the nonlinear nonperturbative regime under and beyond Born–Oppenheimer approximation. The model we present is the first one to our knowledge (excepted in [E. Lorin, S. Chelkowski, A. Bandrauk, A Maxwell–Schrödinger model for non-...

We show that the partition function of free Maxwell theory on a generic Euclidean fourmanifold transforms in a non-trivial way under electric-magnetic duality. The classical part of the partition sum can be mapped onto the genus-one partition function of a 2d toroidal model, without the oscillator contributions. This map relates electric-magnetic duality to modular invariance of the toroidal mo...

We investigate the properties of the hadron-quark mixed phase in compact stars using a Brueckner-Hartree-Fock framework for hadronic matter and the MIT bag model for quark matter. We find that the equation of state of the mixed phase is similar to that given by the Maxwell construction. The composition of the mixed phase, however, is very different from that of the Maxwell construction; in part...

 Nanofluids are colloidal suspension of nanoparticles in a base fluid and have superior thermal properties in comparison to their base fluids. Novel properties of nanofluids are yet to be explored to the highest potential. Currently extensive investigation has been done on thermal conductivity of metallic and oxide...

This paper investigates a time-stepping procedure of the Newmark type for dynamic analyses viscoelastic structures characterized by generalized Maxwell model. We depart from scheme developed three-parameter model Hatada et al. [1], which we extend to generic chain and demonstrate that resulting algorithm can be derived suitably discretized Hamilton variational principle. structure manifests its...
