We present a database of the latest stellar models of the Y 2 (Yonsei-Yale) collaboration. This database contains the stellar evolutionary tracks from the pre-main-sequence birthline to the helium core flash that were used to construct the Y 2 isochrones (Yi et al. 2001; Kim et al. 2002). We also provide a simple interpolation routine that generates stellar tracks for given sets of parameters (...

2. INTRODUCTION Piezoelectric effects are of increasing importance in the control and sensing of structural element deflections. Elastic piezoelectric theory has been extensively developed (Leibowitz & Vinson 1993). Hilton et al. (1997) have presented an extended bibliography and discussed past contributions as well as formulated an analytical nonlinear theory of anisotropic piezoelectric-therm...

General interpolating expressions, valid for nearand arbitrary overcritical sizes of clusters, are proposed for the nucleation fluxes and distributions. Results are expressed in terms of the deterministic growth rates, and are characterized by a non-Gaussian dependence on the size of nuclei. In a sense, the proposed approximations combine the positive aspects of the parabolic model by Trinkaus ...

this paper presents results of applying a new approach on 2d inversion of magnetotelluric (mt) data in order to enhance resolution and stability of the inversion results. due to non-linearity and limited coverage of data acquisition in an mt field campaign, minimizing the error by linearization of the problem in least squares inversion usually leads to an ill-posed problem. in general, an inver...

dear editor:   the nuclear denotation due to the leakage from nuclear electricity plant in japan after the giant tsunami is a great concern. there are many possible health effects including induction of ophthalmic disorder on the affected population to the nuclear denotation. indeed the observation on the effect of radioactive leaking from the nuclear plant after the well-known nuclear leakage ...

An optimized certificate-based protocol for mobile network with authentication and security has been proposed by Yi et al. This protocol allows efficient computation and less storage requirement in the mobile device. As a result, less power is consumed in the mobile device. However, in 1999, 2002, and 2003, Martin et al., Wong, and Laih et al. respectively showed that Yi et al.’s scheme is vuln...

R/qtlbim (www.qtlbim.org) provides a powerful suite of tools for model selection of the genetic architecture for traits influenced by multiple quantitative trait loci (QTL). The Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) sampling approach draws samples from the more probable genetic architectures. Subsequent visualization and summary provides posterior estimates of the number and location of QTL, their ma...

Given a finite set {(x~, Yi)} of ordered pairs from X × Y where X, Y are Hilbert spaces over the same field, there are numerous techniques for constructing a function, f, on X to Y such that f(xi) = y¢ • However, when X, 2" have a causality structure and f must be causal then the data interpolation problem is much more complicated. In this paper two interpolation methods, namely linear interpol...
