We present a liquid level sensing system for cryogenic fluids based on an array of aluminum-coated fiber Bragg gratings written in high-attenuation fibers (HAFs) interrogated by frequency-shifted interferometry (FSI). The sensors are heated up optically through the absorption of light at the core of the HAF sections. The distinct thermal response of sensors in the liquid from that in the gas pr...

The relationship between recalled frequency of penile-vaginal intercourse (FSI) and resting heart rate variability (HRV; an index of parasympathetic tone), resting diastolic blood pressure (DBP) and heart rate (HR) response to the Valsalva maneuver was examined in 51 healthy adults aged 20-47 (subjects scoring above the 86th percentile on the Lie scale of the Eysenck Personality Inventory (EPI)...

The rapid development of computing software has facilitated multifarious research in integrated circuit (IC) packaging. Complicated and complex processes can be visualized via simulation modeling with this software. The applications of aided software enhance the fundamental physicochemical understanding and visualization of the IC encapsulation process. In this article, fluid–structure interact...

The rotordynamics and fluid dynamics of a turbo-machine considering the effect of fluid-solid interaction FSI are numerically investigated using finite element software ADINA. The iterative method is adopted in computation of coupled fields of displacement and fluid. What distinguishes the present study from previous ones is the use of ADINA’s rotational meshes and the FSI interface that separa...

The treatment of elastic final state interactions (FSI) under a symmetry group is presented. The proposed method is based on Watson’s theorem, i.e. on symmetry properties of the S-matrix and on its unitarity. This theorem provides an easy way to introduce rescattering effects by defining final state interactions mixing matrices. A symmetry group fixes the structure of such mixing matrices, and ...

In this work, the impact of modeling techniques on predicting the mechanical behaviors of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is systematically investigated. The fluid-structure interaction (FSI) model for simultaneously capturing the transient interaction between blood flow dynamics and wall mechanics was compared with its simplified techniques, that is, computational fluid dynamics (CFD) or compu...

The observation of the enhanced production of like–sign particle pairs by LEP experiments at Z does not insure that the observed correlations owe their origin to Bose-Einstein correlations(BEC). They could, for example, arise from final state interactions(FSI) between pions with small relative momenta. (we recommend not to call BEC and/or Colour Reconnection as ’FSI effects’ as it is generally ...

Though nothing is known for B → ππ,Kπ,KK, we might conjecture that the FSI phases diminish as the initial mass increases. Meanwhile the relative FSI phase is known for the ggg and ”γ” decay amplitudes of the J/ψ decays: 3 ∆δ ≈ 90 and 75 for J/ψ → 00 and 01, respectively. Therefore, if the FSI phases diminish with the increasing initial mass, it should start diminishing somewhere between mJ/ψ an...

BACKGROUND Ascorbic acid (AA) modulates catecholaminergic activity, decreases stress reactivity, approach anxiety and prolactin release, improves vascular function, and increases oxytocin release. These processes are relevant to sexual behavior and mood. METHODS In this randomized double-blind, placebo-controlled 14 day trial of sustained-release AA (42 healthy young adults; 3000 mg/day Ceteb...
