This paper presents an efficient preconditioning technique in order to couple Partial Element Equivalent Circuit (PEEC) method with Fast Multipole algorithm (FMM).

INTRODUCTION We report a case of Type 1 Monteggia equivalent injury with intact radio-capitellar congruity, associated with epiphyseal fracture of distal radius and distal ulna shaft in an 11-year-old boy. There are only a few cases of Monteggia or Monteggia equivalent injury with ipsilateral forearm fractures in children, and injury pattern being reported by us is not only rare but also the on...

We show that the non-critical c = 1 string at the self-dual radius is equivalent to topological strings based on the deformation of the conifold singularity of Calabi-Yau threefolds. The Penner sum giving the genus expansion of the free energy of the c = 1 string theory at the self-dual radius therefore gives the universal behaviour of the topological partition function of a Calabi-Yau threefol...

It is traced out a parallel between the cosmological constant problem and the polymer physics. The time evolution of the universe world line is compared with the growing of a polymer chain. An equivalent Flory free energy and a modification of it are used as a means to evaluate two versions for the “radius of gyration” of the universe. It is proposed a link between this radius of gyration and t...

Dual-Stack Lite is a solution to offer both IPv4 and IPv6 connectivity to customers that are addressed only with an IPv6 prefix. Dual-Stack Lite requires pre-configuration of the Dual-Stack Lite Address Family Transition Router (AFTR) tunnel information on the Basic Bridging BroadBand (B4) element. In many networks, the customer profile information may be stored in Authentication, Authorization...

The relationship between electrical potentials, ion concentrations, and ion permeabilities have been thoroughly investigated in the squid axon. The wealth of experimental results supports the ionic theory of the electrical phenomena and offers a satisfactory description of what the axolemma does at a variety of functional stages (I-3). In contrast, only suggestions exist about how the axolemma ...

a‎s we know, developing mathematical models and numerical procedures that would appropriately treat and solve systems of linear equations where some of the system's parameters are proposed as fuzzy numbers is very important in fuzzy set theory. for this reason, many researchers have used various numerical methods to solve fuzzy linear systems. in this paper, we define the concepts of midpoint a...

PURPOSE Comparison of bone age assessed using either the "atlas matching" method of Greulich and Pyle or the "point scoring system" of Tanner and Whitehouse (TW2). MATERIALS AND METHODS 362 consecutive "bone age" radiographs of the left hand and distal radius performed in a large provincial teaching hospital. Data were analysed using the "method comparison" statistical technique. Ten per cent...

In order to measure the dielectric permittivity of thin insulting layers, we developed a method based on electrostatic force microscopy (EFM) experiments coupled with numerical simulations. This method allows to characterize the dielectric properties of materials without any restrictions of film thickness, tip radius and tip-sample distance. The EFM experiments consist in the detection of the e...

background: neutron contamination in our environment can cause harmful biological effects on human body. therefore, many efforts have been made to construct a neutron dosimeter to estimate the received dose. objective: to design a simple neutron dosimeter. methods: the primary dosimeter had 3he as a spherical thermal neutron detector encircled by paraffin 10 cm in radius. then, the paraffin sph...
