In the present work, three different modes of heat conduction, diffusion, thermal wave, and dual-phase lag, across a thin layer subjected to constant temperature insulated boundary conditions are compared by using finite element solution. The model is developed considering relaxation time flux gradient for single element. After assembling all elements, number algebraic equations obtained solved...

Observational consequences of a jet-driven supernova (SN) explosion model are presented. The results are compared in detail with optical observations of SN 1998bw associated with a Gamma-Ray Burst. It is shown that the jet model is able to reproduce virtually all the optical observations available for this SN, although a spherical model fails to explain some of observed features. Because of the...

Measurements of the phase delay of the current and force on a ring floated on a commonly available Thomson’s jumping ring apparatus were performed for phase angles from 12° to 88°. The force and phase data show excellent agreement with a linear inductive model. We find that the demonstration, as usually performed with large highly conducting rings, operates in the inductance-dominated regime at...

The 3-D Z(3) Potts model is a model for finite temperature QCD with heavy quarks. The chemical potential in QCD becomes an external magnetic field in the Potts model. Following Alford et al.[3], we revisit this mapping, and determine the phase diagram for an arbitrary chemical potential, real or imaginary. Analytic continuation of the phase transition line between real and imaginary chemical po...

A comparative evaluation is performed on two databases using three feature extraction techniques and five classification methods for a motor imagery paradigm based on Mu rhythm. In order to extract the features from electroencephalographic signals, three methods are proposed: independent component analysis, Itakura distance and phase synchronization. The last one consists of: phase locking valu...

Phase synchronization in a brain computer interface based on Mu rhythm is evaluated by means of phase lag index and weighted phase lag index. In order to detect and classify the important features reflected in brain signals during execution of mental tasks (imagination of left and right hand movement), the proposed methods are implemented on two datasets. The classification is performed using l...

Growth data for Listeria monocytogenes were collected from the literature and a global model built with existing secondary models describing independently the effects of environmental factors on the growth rate and lag time was based on these data. The growth rates calculated with this model were consistent with the published ones but the fit was poor near the limits of growth of the micro-orga...
