I will talk about the general energetic variational approaches for hydrodynamic systems of complex fluids. In these energetic variational approaches, the least action principle (LAP) with action functional gives the Hamiltonian parts (conservative force) of the hydrodynamic systems, and the maximum/minimum dissipation principle (MDP), i.e., Onsager’s principle, gives the dissipative parts (diss...

When a target speech signal is obscured by an interfering speech wave form, comprehension of the target message depends both on the successful detection of the energy from the target speech wave form and on the successful extraction and recognition of the spectro-temporal energy pattern of the target out of a background of acoustically similar masker sounds. This study attempted to isolate the ...

From a recent re-analysis of the available data, Be and B Galactic evolution appears to show evidence for a twoslope behaviour with respect to O. The inferred Be/O abundance ratio in halo stars is constant at very low metallicity (primary behaviour) and increases proportionally to O/H at high metallicity (secondary behaviour). We show that this can be explained in the framework of one single mo...

Considering a simple regenerative Brayton cycle, the impact of using different fuel blends containing variable volumetric percentage hydrogen in methane was analysed. Due to potential combustion gas turbines reduce overall CO2 emissions and dependency on natural gas, further research is needed understand thermodynamic cycle. For that purpose, qualitative analysis carried out assess exergetic en...

The nephrotoxic food mutagen ochratoxin A (OTA) produces DNA adducts in rat kidneys, the major lesion being the C8-linked-2'-deoxyguanosine adduct (OTB-dG). Although research on other adducts stresses the importance of understanding the structure of the associated adducted DNA, site-specific incorporation of OTB-dG into DNA has yet to be attempted. The present work uses a robust computational a...

We revisit the model for a two-well phase transformation in a linearly elastic body that was introduced and studied in Mielke et al. (2002 Arch. Ration. Mech. Anal. 162: , 137-177). This energetic rate-independent system is posed in terms of the elastic displacement and an internal variable that gives the phase portion of the second phase. We use a new approach based on mutual recovery sequence...

Engine research community interest in the Radio-Frequency corona-based ignition systems is currently gaining importance mainly due to their capability ensure robust combustion at challenging operating conditions such as very lean mixture and/or high EGR dilution. The benefits of Corona low-temperature plasma foster early flame development thanks precursors production and a more energetic volume...
