The fast-spreading development of online streaming services has enabled people from all over the world to listen to music. However, it is not always straightforward for a given user to find the “right” song version he or she is looking for. As streaming services may be affected by the potential dissatisfaction among their customers, the quality of songs and the presence of tags (or labels) asso...

The warming and humidification of inspired gases for ventilated neonates are routine. There are no data on the temperature of the gasat the airway opening in ventilated neonates. Is the inspired gas temperature at the airway opening, as expected and set on the humidifier, around 378C?We aimed to measure temperature at the airway opening and compare this with the circuit temperature. This was an...

A graph G is said to be aSeymour graph if for any edge set F there exist |F | pairwise disjoint cuts each containing exactly one element of F , provided for every circuit C of G the necessary condition |C∩F | ≤ |C \F | is satisfied. Seymour graphs behave well with respect to some integer programs including multiflow problems, or more generally odd cut packings, and are closely related to matchi...

We extend the work of T. Lyons [Lyo98] and T. Lyons and Z. Qian [LQ02] to define integrals and solutions of differential equations along product of p and q rough paths, with 1/p+1/q > 1. We use this to write an Itô formula at the level of rough paths, and to see that any rough path can always be interpreted as a product of a p-geometric rough path and a p/2-geometric rough path.

the present paper compares full kinetics mechanisms in numerical modelling of porous radiant burners (prb), with their reduced forms. the two most frequently used mechanisms of methane combustion (gri3.0 and miller) were selected and their effects were examined on temperature, species concentration, burning speed, and pollutant emission. while the findings of numerical simulation of prb show fi...

The fundamental phenomenological equations of radiative transfer, e.g., Lambert's cosine rule and the radiant transport equation, are derived from an analysis based on the Cauchy flux theory of continuum mechanics. For the classical case, where the radiance is distributed regularly over the unit sphere, it is shown that Lambert's rule follows from a balance law for the transfer of radiative pow...

The current study involves developing a three-dimensional transient finite element (FE) model to evaluate the thermal performance of an attic radiant barrier system (ARBS) as an energy efficient technology. The heat transfer modes of convection, radiation, and conduction were considered in the FE model. The results from the FE analysis were then validated based on hourly experimental data colle...
