Many studies have shown that students learn better when they are given repeated exposures to different concepts in a way that is shuffled or interleaved, rather than blocked (e.g., Rohrer Educational Psychology Review, 24, 355-367, 2012). The present study explored the effects of interleaving versus blocking on learning French pronunciations. Native English speakers learned several French words...

the purpose of this research is to numerically investigate the interaction of pulsatile flow of blood with an axisymmetric artery in various percentages of stenosis. the carreau non-newtonian model and the generalized maxwell rheological model were used to model the blood fluid and the viscoelastic wall of arterial, respectively. the innovation of the present research is modeling of viscoelasti...

We discuss a model in which three active and one sterile neutrino account for the solar, the atmospheric and the LSND neutrino anomalies. It is shown that if Nν < 4 then these and other experiments and big bang nucleosynthesis constrain all the mixing angles severely, and allow only the small-angle MSW solution. If these neutrinos are of Majorana type, then negative results of neutrinoless doub...

This thesis includes a theoretical and experimental analysis of electrophoresis of colloidal particles in non-Newtonian polymeric fluids with shear-rate dependent viscosities. A model is derived that predicts field dependent electrophoretic mobility in shear-thinning Carreau fluids. The latter effect is experimentally investigated for submicron particles in solutions of linear polyacrylamide us...

A conclusive demonstration has been provided that the nature of the shearthinning, that affects both film thickness and traction in EHL contacts, follows the ordinary power-law rule that has been described by many empirical models of which Carreau is but one example. This was accomplished by accurate measurements in viscometers of the shear response of a PAO that possesses a very low critical s...
