background and objectives: respecting privacy means respecting individuals, their dignity and independence. it is mandatory to observe privacy in health-care systems. therefore, this study was carried out with the aim of expressing nursing students’ experience of privacy in pediatrics ward. methods: this qualitative study was done inductively using content analysis method. the participants incl...

Hidden Markov model (HMM) has been well studied and extensively used. In this paper, we present DPHMM (Differentially Private Hidden Markov Model), an HMM embedded with a private data release mechanism, in which the privacy of the data is protected through a graph. Specifically, we treat every state in Markov model as a node, and use a graph to represent the privacy policy, in which “indistingu...

In this general lecture, we shall rst outline the way computational non-Newtonian uid mechanics di ers from conventional CFD. We do this by brie y outlining the major historical developments in this relatively new eld of science, which is conveniently called Computational Rheology. To illustrate essential features, we limit the discussion to the Oldroyd B, UCM and Phan-Thien/Tanner constitutive...

We investigate finite amplitude stability of spatially inhomogeneous steady state an incompressible viscoelastic fluid which occupies a mechanically isolated vessel with walls kept at non-uniform temperature. For wide class models including the Oldroyd-B model, Giesekus FENE-P Johnson–Segalman and Phan–Thien–Tanner model we prove that is stable subject to any perturbation.
