High-aspect-ratio (HAR) rectangular jets have attracted attention in automobile air conditioning (A/C) systems and turbulent jet applications owing to their excellent delivery mixing attractive interior design. Active flow control (AFC) of using plasma actuators (PAs) has proven be a promising technique because the actuator is simple, low energy consumption, can create features without interfer...

Unsteady gravity-driven flow of a thin slender rivulet of a non-Newtonian power-law fluid on a plane inclined at an angle α to the horizontal is considered. Unsteady similarity solutions are obtained for both converging sessile rivulets (when 0 < α < π/2) in the case x < 0 with t < 0, and diverging pendent rivulets (when π/2 < α < π) in the case x > 0 with t > 0, where x denotes a coordinate me...

We have analyzed the three-dimensional spatiotemporal characteristics of saccadic refixations between far and near targets in three behaviorally trained rhesus monkeys. The kinematics underlying these rapid eye movements can be accurately described by rotations of the eyes in four different planes, namely, first disconjugate rotations in the horizontal plane of regard converging the eyes toward...

This work investigates the fundamental flow in a converging bifurcation. Particle image velocimetry (PIV) and laser-induced fluorescence (LIF) experiments were conducted in a transparent model composed of three machined tubes mated together in a Y-shape. Measurements were taken in a plane containing the axes of the tubes and in the cross-sectional plane of the parent tube to elucidate flow patt...

25 We have analyzed the three-dimensional spatio-temporal characteristics of saccadic re26 fixations between far and near targets in three behaviorally trained rhesus monkeys. The 27 kinematics underlying these rapid eye movements can be accurately described by rotations of 28 the eyes in four different planes, namely first dis-conjugate rotations in the horizontal plane 29 of regard converging...

This paper considers a progressive solitary wave of permanent form in an ideal fluid of constant depth and explores Davies’ approximation [Proc. R. Soc. Lond. A, 208 (1951), pp. 475– 486] with high-order corrections to Levi-Civita’s surface condition for the logarithmic hodograph variable. Using a complex plane that was originally introduced by Packham [Proc. R. Soc. Lond. A, 213 (1952), pp. 23...

objectives to compare an out-of-plane interscalene catheter technique to the in-plane technique in a randomized clinical trial. patients and methods eighty-four patients undergoing open shoulder surgery were randomized to either the in-plane or out-of-plane ultrasound-guided continuous interscalene technique. the primary outcome was vas pain rating at 24 hours. secondary outcomes included pain ...

We perceive perspective angles, that is, angles that have an orientation in depth, differently from what they are in physical space. Extreme examples are angles between rails of a railway line or between lane dividers of a long and straight road. In this study, subjects judged perspective angles between bars lying on the floor of the laboratory. Perspective angles were also estimated from pictu...

Abstract By rewriting the relation 1 + 2 = 3 {1+2=3} as {\sqrt{1}^{2}+\sqrt{2}^{2}=\sqrt{3}^{2}} , a right triangle is looked at. Some geometrical observations in connection with plane parqueting lead to an in...
