Adults bring to bear at least three types of object knowledge-configural, experiential, and physical knowledge-when segregating displays. Prior research suggests that young infants lack configural knowledge: they do not expect similar surfaces to belong to the same units and dissimilar surfaces to distinct units. The present research asked whether young infants could make use of another type of...

Keywords: Flow around a circular cylinder Vortex-induced vibration Flow control Steady suction Mitigation of vortex-induced vibration a b s t r a c t In the present study, a flow control method is employed to mitigate vortex-induced vibration (VIV) of a circular cylinder by using a suction flow method. The VIV of a circular cylinder was first reproduced in a wind tunnel by using a spring–mass s...

Susceptometry-based MR oximetry has previously been shown suitable for quantifying hemoglobin oxygen saturation in large vessels for studying vascular reactivity and quantification of global cerebral metabolic rate of oxygen utilization. A key assumption underlying this method is that large vessels can be modeled as long paramagnetic cylinders. However, bifurcations, tapering, noncircular cross...

A two-dimensional free surface flow past a circular cylinder forced to performstreamwise oscillations in the presence of an oncoming uniform flow is investigated at a Reynolds number of R = 200 and fixed displacement amplitude, A = 0.13, for the forcing frequency-to-natural shedding frequency ratios, f/f0 = 1.5, 2.5, 3.5. This study is based on numerical solutions of the special integral form o...
