Magnetars are highly magnetized neutron stars. For a slowly rotating magnetar, the strong magnetic field deforms star, making it axisymmetric with respect to axis (the body symmetry axis). In magnetars, rotation is tilted axis, and we have an oblique rotator. General relativistic treatment of obliquely magnetar gives rise frame-dragging velocities both in azimuthal polar direction. Solving Eins...

The current advanced analysis techniques for steel frames generally use structural analyses with geometric and material nonlinearities to capture the collapse strength of frame. Unfortunately, true a frame cannot be predicted accuracy because uncertainties most significant design variables. Building codes structures apply resistance factor account present in variables thus ensure target level r...

introduction: the gastrin releasing peptide (grp) receptor is over expressed in a variety of common human tumors. radiolabeled bombesin analogues have exhibited high binding affinity for these receptors. the aim of this study was to assess the value of a new 99mtc-bombesin analog in the differentiation of malignant from benign breast tumors. methods: 99mtc-bombesin scans were performed in 21 pa...

We show that large-amplitude, non-planar, Alfvén-wave (AW) packets are exact nonlinear solutions of the relativistic magnetohydrodynamic equations when total magnetic-field strength in local fluid rest frame ( $b$ ) is a constant. derive analytic expressions relating components fluctuating velocity and magnetic field. also these constant- AWs propagate without distortion at Alfvén never steepen...

Abstract The family of planar linear chains are found as collision-free action minimizers the spatial N-body problem with equal masses under D N and × Z 2 -symmetry constraint different types topological constraints. This generalizes a previous result by author in [32] for problem. In particular, monotone constraints required proven to be unnecessary, it will implied minimization property. For ...

Multi-dimensional and transient flows play a key role in many areas of science, engineering, and health sciences but are often not well understood. The complex nature of these flows may be studied using particle image velocimetry (PIV), a laser-based imaging technique for optically accessible flows. Though many forms of PIV exist that extend the technique beyond the original planar two-componen...

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to describe a calibration method developed to improve the absolute accuracy of a novel three degrees-of-freedom planar parallel robot. The robot is designed for the precise alignment of semiconductor wafers and, even though its complete workspace is slightly larger, the accuracy improvements are performed within a target workspace, in which the positions a...

The estimation of position and orientation of a PMD camera in a global reference frame is required by many measurement applications based on such systems. PMD cameras produce a depth as well as a reflectance image of low resolution compared to standard optical cameras, so that calibration of the cameras based on the reflecance image alone is difficult. We will present a novel approach for calib...
