the ultrasonic velocity, density and viscosity of some schiff bases of 4-amino benzoic acid  were measured in 1,4-dioxane and dimethylformamide at 308.15 k. various acoustical properties such as isentropic compressibility (ks), rao’s molar sound function (rm), the van der waals constant (b), molar compressibility (w), inter molecular free length (lf), relaxation strength (r), internal pressure ...

Continuing our previous research on color image compression, we move towards spectral image compression. This enormous amount of data needs more space to store and more time to transmit. To manage this sheer amount of data, researchers have investigated different techniques so that image quality can be conserved and compressibility can be improved. The principle component analysis (PCA) can be ...

Lagrangian(and isopycnic-) vertical coordinate ocean models are subject to an exponentially growing numerical instability in weakly stratified regions when thermobaricity is not accurately compensated. Inaccurate compensation for compressibility in the pressure gradient terms leads to pressure gradient truncation errors (due to the vertical discretization) that can drive the Lagrangian coordina...

The ultrasonic velocity (U), density (ρ) and viscosity (η) measurements have been carried out for L-Methionine in aqueous sodium chloride, potassium chloride and lithium chloride as a function of composition at 303K. Experimental data have been used to estimate the adiabatic compressibility (β), change (∆β) and relative change in adiabatic compressibility (∆β/β°), acoustic impedance (z), limiti...

The interplay between disorder and compressibility in Ising magnets is studied. Contrary to pure systems in which a weak compressibility drives the transition first order, we find from a renormalization group analysis that it has no effect on disordered systems which keep undergoing continuous transition with rigid random-bond Ising model critical exponents. The mean field calculation exhibits ...

The widespread use of multi-detector CT scanners has been associated with a remarkable increase in the number of CT slices as well as a substantial decrease in the average thickness of individual slices. This increased number of thinner slices has created a marked increase in archival and network bandwidth requirements associated with storage and transmission of these studies. We demonstrate th...

Accurate simulation of subsurface flow with detailed geologic description is of great academic and industrial interest. Fully fine-scale simulation is usually too expensive. The multiscale method is developed to capture fine-scale information without solving fine-scale equations. It is more efficient than fine-scale simulation methods and more accurate than traditional upscaling techniques. Pre...

PURPOSE To evaluate in-vivo thrombus compressibility in abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs) to hopefully shed light on the biomechanical importance of intraluminal thrombus. METHODS Dynamic electrocardiographically-gated computed tomographic angiography was performed in 17 AAA patients (15 men; mean age 73 years, range 69-76): 11 scheduled for surgical repair and 6 under routine surveillance. T...

The insertion of immunoglobulin (IgG) in a glycolipid monolayer was achieved by using the ability of new proteo-glycolipid vesicles to disintegrate into a mixed IgG-glycolipid interfacial film after spreading at an air-buffer interface. The interfacial disintegration kinetics was shown to be directly dependent on the initial vesicle surface density and on the buffer ionic strength. The presence...

In a former publication from this Laboratory, results on the compressibility of various minerals and rocks were presented.' At the time when these measurements were made the importance of the physical properties of the ultrabasic rocks was not fully appreciated. Realizing that too little emphasis had been placed on these materials we have now made a number of measurements on a rock approaching ...
