in this paper the numerical analysis of flow and time dependent heat transfer of micro-tube conveying nanofluid in laminar flow is investigated. in this study, convection heat transfer of nanofluid and base fluid and transient analysis for time-varying heat flux for time step of 0.0001 second are elucidated. it is observed that the pumping power of nanofluid flowing and the maximum temperature ...

In this paper, we construct a software availability model considering the number of restoration actions. We correlate the failure and restoration characteristics of the software system with the cumulative number of corrected faults. Furthermore, we consider an imperfect debugging environment where the detected faults are not always corrected and removed from the system. The time-dependent behav...

this paper presents a new mathematical model for a hybrid flow shop scheduling problem with multiprocessor tasks in which sequence dependent set up times and preemption are considered. the objective is to minimize the weighted sum of makespan and maximum tardiness. three meta-heuristic methods based on genetic algorithm (ga), imperialist competitive algorithm (ica) and a hybrid approach of ga a...

time-dependent vehicle routing problem is one of the most applicable but least-studied variants of routing and scheduling problems. in this paper, a novel mathematical formulation of time-dependent vehicle routing problems with heterogeneous fleet, hard time widows and multiple depots, is proposed. to deal with the traffic congestions, we also considered that the vehicles are not forced to come...

this paper deals with a delayed ratio-dependent functional response predator-prey model with a threshold harvesting policy. we study the equilibria of the system before and after the threshold. we show that the threshold harvesting can improve the undesirable behavior such as nonexistence of interior equilibria. the global analysis of the model as well as boundedness and permanence properties a...

In this paper Mathematical structure of time-dependent Lagrangian systems and their symmetries are extended and the explicit relation between constants of motion and infinitesimal symmetries of time-dependent Lagrangian systems are considered. Starting point is time-independent Lagrangian systems ,then we extend mathematical concepts of these systems such as equivalent lagrangian systems to th...

The voltage-, time-, and K(+)-dependent properties of a G protein-activated inwardly rectifying K+ channel (GIRK1/KGA/Kir3.1) cloned from rat atrium were studied in Xenopus oocytes under two-electrode voltage clamp. During maintained G protein activation and in the presence of high external K+ (VK = 0 mV), voltage jumps from VK to negative membrane potentials activated inward GIRK1 K+ currents ...

among abiotic stresses, salinity has been increasing over the time for many reasons like using chemical fertilizers, global warming and rising sea levels. under salinity stress, the loss of water availability, toxicity of na+ and ion imbalance directly reduces carbon fixation and biomass production in plants. k+ is a major agent that can counteract na+ stresses, thus the potential of plants to ...
