film coating solutions containing different grades of hpmc (e5, e15 and e50) with and without polyethylene glycol (with various molecular weights) were examined by an oscillatory method, using haake cv 100 rheometer. fundamental rheological parameters (?, g? and g² ) were measured over the frequency range from 0.04 to 2 hz. the variation with frequency of the loss tangent (a ratio of viscous to...

In this paper we analyze the vibrational spectra of a large ensemble of non-homologous protein structures by means of a novel tool, that we coin Hierarchical Network Model (HNM). Our coarse-grained scheme accounts for the intrinsic heterogeneity of force constants displayed by protein arrangements and also incorporates side chain degrees of freedom. Our analysis shows that vibrational entropy p...

this paper introduces a mesh generating algorithm for solving the traffic flow equation as a conservation law equation. the idea behind the new method is to use the characteristic curves and moving non-oscillatory finite volume method. in addition, when characteristic curves intersect, the proposed scheme uses shock speed equation in order to improve computational efficiency. we also compare...

This paper proposes a new method for shape invariant realtime modification of speech signals. The method can be understood as a frequency domain SOLA algorithm that is using the phase vocoder algorithm for phase synchronization. Compared to time domain SOLA the new implementation provides improved time synchronization during overlap add and improved quality of the noise components of the transf...

In this paper, an improved trigonometrically fitted zero-dissipative explicit two-step hybrid method with fifth algebraic order is derived. The method is applied to several problems which solutions are oscillatory in nature. Numerical results obtained are compared with existing methods in the scientific literature. The comparison shows that the new method is more effective and efficient than th...

pollution has become a very serious threat to our environment. monitoring pollution is the rst step toward planning to save the environment. the use of dierential equations, monitoring pollution has become possible. in this paper, a ritz-collocation method is introduced to solve non-linear oscillatory systems such as modelling the pollution of a system of lakes. the method is based upon bernoul...

We have developed a linearization method to investigate the subthreshold oscillatory behaviors in nonlinear autonomous systems. By considering firstly the neuronal system as an example, we show that this theoretical approach can predict quantitatively the subthreshold oscillatory activities, including the damping coefficients and the oscillatory frequencies which are in good agreement with thos...
