The insufficiency and soaring rate of fossil fuels, as well growing concerns about global warming, have pushed electric vehicles (EVs) to become a significant aspect the future transportation system. growth in adoption EVs results need for broadly spread charging stations, hence Photovoltaic (PV) based EV system is adopted since generation power from PV possible everywhere. An with two converte...

Abstract The transitory shock of the financial crisis 2008 pushed most economies to permanently lower-level growth paths than those prevalent before crisis, which can be considered as a manifestation hysteresis. It is well known that some fixed adjustment costs lead hysteresis in aggregate output. This paper investigates within an agent-based model, whether price (menu costs) same result. Hyste...

This paper posits a two-stage game in tax regime and tax rates to study the property of second-best emission and output taxes in a two-country world with an atmospheric externality. It shows that (i) either the destination-destination or the origin-origin tax regime may constitute the subgame perfect Nash equilibrium of this game; (ii) either regime may Pareto-dominate the other; (iii) it is po...

Pattern-forming fronts are often controlled by an external stimulus which progresses through a stable medium at a fixed speed, rendering it unstable in its wake. By controlling the speed of excitation, such stimuli, or “triggers,” can mediate pattern forming fronts which freely invade an unstable equilibrium and control which pattern is selected. In this work, we analytically and numerically st...

Transurethral lithotripsy (TUL) is a common procedure in urology. However, controversy persists about how to deal with stones pushed up into kidney from the ureter during the procedure of TUL. This study investigated the efficacy of combining flexible ureteroscopy and rigid ureteroscopy for pushed-up stones into kidney during TUL. Fotry-one patients underwent TUL by a single surgeon from July 2...

We consider the displacement, in a rectangular channel, of a Newtonian oil pushed by different types of liquids (Newtonian, shear-thinning, viscoelastic) of slightly higher apparent viscosity. In the absence of viscoelastic effects the interface between the two fluids becomes sharper at larger velocities, so that the thickness of the lateral film left behind increases with the flow rate. On the...

Supporting the Aviation Applied Technology DirectorateÕs (AATD) Rotorcraft PilotÕs Associate Advanced Technology Demonstration Program, the Lockheed Martin Advanced Technology Laboratories (ATL) demonstrated that formation of a Common Tactical Picture (CTP) from onboard and offboard sensors, via data fusion, was essential to automated decision aiding. In this case, the CTP was formed solely by ...
