Freely floating objects on a fluid governed by the Boussinesq equations

Grand ideas floating freely

Prion protein (PrP) is critically involved in the transmission and pathogenesis of the transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (TSEs), which include scrapie in sheep, variant and sporadic Creutzfeldt–Jakob disease (CJD) in humans and bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) in cattle. The normal, cellular PrPc protein encoded by the Prnp gene is required for susceptibility to TSE. The interconv...

a study on insurer solvency by panel data model: the case of iranian insurance market

the aim of this thesis is an approach for assessing insurer’s solvency for iranian insurance companies. we use of economic data with both time series and cross-sectional variation, thus by using the panel data model will survey the insurer solvency.

Freely floating thrombus in the left atrium.

An 88–year-old male with chronic renal failure (creatinine 2.5 mg/dl) was admitted to the hospital with dyspnoea. Transthoracic echocardiography revealed a mass (Fig. 1) rotating in the left atrium (Supplementary Video 1) towards the mitral annulus (Supplementary Video 2), leading to mitral stenosis. The mass was successfully removed. Supplementary material (Videos 1 and 2) is available at EJCT...

The 2D Incompressible Boussinesq Equations

Trapped modes around freely floating bodies in a two-layer fluid channel.

Unlike the trapping of time-harmonic water waves by fixed obstacles, the oscillation of freely floating structures gives rise to a complex nonlinear spectral problem. Still, through a convenient elimination scheme the system simplifies to a linear spectral problem for a self-adjoint operator in a Hilbert space. Under symmetry assumptions on the geometry of the fluid domain, we present condition...
