In this paper, the problem of forced convection over a horizontal flat plate under condition of variable plate temperature is presented and the homotopy perturbation method (HPM) is employed to compute an approximation to the solution of the system of nonlinear differential equations governing the problem. This paper provides good supplements to the existing literature and generalizes the previ...

Machine learning methods allow the prediction of material properties, potentially using only elemental composition a molecule or compound, without knowledge molecular crystalline structures. Herein, composition-based machine properties V–Cr–Ti alloys is demonstrated. Our machine-learning-based stability qualitatively consistent with composition-dependent experimental data ductile–brittle transi...

[1] We present first-principles results for elastic moduli (bulk, K, and shear, G) and acoustic velocities (compressional, VP, shear, VS, and bulk VΦ) of olivine (a) and wadsleyite (b) (Fex,Mg1 x)2SiO4, at high pressure (P) and temperature (T) with varying iron content (0≤ x≤ 0.125). Pressure and temperature derivatives of these properties are analyzed. We show that adding 12.5% of Fe in forste...

The contrasts of limb faculae at various heliocentric angles are observed in three continuum windows largely free of absorption lines. Observations with interference filters show a contrast decrease with wavelength which is not found when using an ‘UBF’ to select the shortest continuum window. Limb faculae in speckle-reconstructed images yield contrasts being typically 1.2 times higher than tho...

Horizontal gene transfer (HGT) is a sensational topic largely because its exploitation to date has been primarily journalistic. Properly packaged it captures the attention of a sensitized lay public and peps up circulation. HGT provides technical challenges for academic scientists as well as market analysts. For fans of science fiction as well as for environmental pessimists, HGT is the stuff o...
