The dynamics of a one-dimensional gas of inelastic point particles is investigated. To model inelastic collisions, it is supposed that the relative velocity of two colliding particles is reduced by a factor r, where 0 < I < 1. The constant r is the coefficient of restitution. Because the collisions are inelastic, particles can collide infinitely often in finite time so that the relative separat...

An inelastic flow is a flow with an inelastic rate, i.e., the rate is fixed, and it cannot be dynamically adjusted to traffic and load condition as in elastic flows like TCP. Real time, interactive sessions, and video/audio streaming are typical examples of inelastic flows. Reliable support of inelastic flows in wireless ad hoc networks is extremely challenging because flows and routes dynamica...

compound-nucleus reactions provide the standard mechanism to populate states with high angularmomentum in neutron deficient nuclei. neutron-rich nuclei with mass aand induced fission. projectile fragmentation has proven to be an efficient method of populating nuclei farfrom the valley of stability. however, in the case of heavy nuclei this method is still limited to species withisomeric states....

The hydrodynamic Burnett equations and the associated transport coefficients are exactly evaluated for generalized inelastic Maxwell models. In those models, the one-particle distribution function obeys the inelastic Boltzmann equation, with a velocity-independent collision rate proportional to the γ power of the temperature. The pressure tensor and the heat flux are obtained to second order in...

The analytical methods available to the design engineer today are either dynamic time history analyses, or monotonic static nonlinear analyses, or equivalent static analyses with simulated inelastic influences. This paper suggests in addition to the inelastic time history analyses, some simplified analyses techniques based on equating the seismic demand expressed in terms of response spectra wi...

[Purpose] The purpose of this study was to investigate the impact on the shoulder joints of performing inelastic taping and bed physical therapy for acute stroke. [Subjects and Methods] The intervention was conducted for eight weeks with an experimental group of 18 stroke patients who received bed physical therapy and inelastic taping and a control group of 18 stroke patients who received only ...

In Mobile Ad hoc Networks (MANETs), achieving fairness and increasing channel utilization are the important design goals of scheduling. However, these two goals contradict with each other. In this paper, a fair-scheduling technique for inelastic traffic flows in MANET is proposed. The network traffic is differentiated into two categories as elastic and inelastic flows. In this technique, data p...

The accuracy of predictions of phonon thermal boundary conductance using traditional models such as the diffuse mismatch model (DMM) varies depending on the types of material comprising the interface. The DMM assumes that phonons, undergoing diffuse scattering events, are elastically scattered, which drives the energy conductance across the interface. It has been shown that at relatively high t...

A quarterly, weakly-separable, Quadratic, Almost Ideal Demand System is estimated for beef, pork and chicken in Canada. The restrictions that would lead to the less flexible AIDS model were rejected at the five per cent level. Results for the first stage model indicated that demand for the meat group is inelastic, with an own-price elasticity of -0.24. Demand for beef in Canada was inelastic du...

Motivated by a recent study by Lazarian and Draine, which showed that a high degree of grain alignment of the paramagnetic dust is achievable if the rates of internal relaxation are controlled by the Barnett relaxation process, we undertake a study of an alternative mechanism of internal dissipation, namely, the inelastic dissipation of energy in oblate dust grains. We find that deformations at...
