in this paper, the boundary-based estimation of pressure distribution in the cardiovascular system is investigated using two dimensional flow images. the conventional methods of non-invasive estimation of pressure distribution in the cardiovascular flow domain use the differential form of governing equations. this study evaluates the advantages of using the integral form of the equations in the...

A method is presented for the calculation of in viscid, supercritical flowfields about axisymmetric inlet cowls. A finite-difference calculation is performed in a simple, rectangular domain obtained from the nacelle geometry by a nearly conformal mapping procedure. Type-dependent finite differences are constructed using a coordinate-independent, "rotated" differencing scheme. Methods of acceler...

We present a concise review of the recent theoretical progress concerning the standard model calculation of the inclusive radiative B̄ → Xsγ decay. Particular attention is thereby devoted to the calculations of the next-to-next-to-leading order fixed-order O(αs) contributions, non-local O(αsΛ/mb) power corrections, and logarithmic-enhanced O(αs) cut-effects to the decay rate. The current status ...

The equations of motion for a massive spin2 Rarita-Schwinger field in a finite-range, central, Lorentz scalar potential are developed. It is shown that the resulting density may not be everywhere positive definite.

Delay faults are an increasingly important test challenge. Traditional open and bridge fault models are incomplete because only the functional fault or a subset of delay fault are modeled. In this paper, we propose a circuit level model for resistive open and bridge faults. All possible fault behaviors are illustrated and a general resistive bridge delay calculation method is proposed. The new ...

The paper reviews both the influencing factors and calculation strategies of sample size determination for survey research. It indicate the factors that affect the sample size determination procedure and explains how. It also provides calculation methods (including formulas) that can be applied directly and easily to estimate the sample size needed in most popular situations.

In this paper, the purpose is to adapt classical interactive methods to multicriteria combinatorial problems in order to explore the non-dominated solutions set. We propose an interactive procedure alternating a calculation stage determining the current best compromise solution and a dialogue stage allowing decision maker to specify his/her preferences. For the calculation stage, we propose an ...
