The spatial stability analysis of two dimensional, steady channel flow is investigated in the downstream entry zone. A model based on previous work, is presented for the base flow, which represents a small deformation of plane Poiseuille flow. The base flow evolution towards the fully developed state comes from the experimental and theoretical study of M. Asai and J.M. Floryan ”Certain aspects ...

T his paper evaluates the entrance capacity and queueing delay for Automated Highway Systems through use of simulations and analytical modeling. Queueing statistics are also used to determine the sustainable capacity of alternative concepts, taking trip length distribution and spacing between ramps into consideration. Based on safety-spacing head­ ways (produced in a separate analysis), the mos...

DEVELOPMENTAL anomalies of the eye in the region of the optic disc are commonly divided into two groups: those in which failure of coaptation occurs within the optic nerve sheath and those showing lesions of the peripapillary choroid or sclera. With the exception of the small holes sometimes seen on the anterior surface of the optic disc, which are probably related to aberrant formation of Berg...

This paper describes the Question Answering for Machine Reading (QA4MRE) Entrance Exams at the 2013 Cross Language Evaluation Forum. The data set of this task is extracted from actual university entrance examinations as-is, and therefore includes a variety of topics in daily life. Another unique feature of the Entrance Exams task is that questions are designed originally for testing human exami...

BACKGROUND At the entrance of a tunnel, reflection of sunlight from the surrounding environment and a lack of adequate lighting usually cause some vision problems. The purpose of this study was to perform a safety evaluation of lighting on a very long road in Ilam, Iran. METHODS The average luminance was measured using a luminance meter (model S3; Hagner, Solna, Sweden). A camera (model 108, ...

has met all requirements and is qualified for the medical study program, he/she is invited for an entrance examination. The applicant is informed about the date and place of the entrance examination in time. The examination is in the form of multiple-choice tests in Biology and Chemistry and it is carried out in English language. The test consists of 40 questions in each of the subjects and it ...

An environmental water releases to the Snowy River was made in October 2011 (12,000 ML/day) as part of the Snowy River Increased Flows Program. The effects on the inlet entrance morphology and tidal response were measured on four field trips for each release to cover the flow peak and recovery. Water level recorders were deployed in the principal channels over the period of the releases and for...

Background: Considering the importance of entering doctoral students to universities with hard competition, in order to detect the predictive power of entrance exam grade in educational achievement in early years, we attempted to investigate the efficacy of entrance exam with basic scientific test. Methods: The existing data from national organization for education testing and education center ...

Background: The success of radiation therapy depends on accurate dose delivery to the target. Diode in vivo measurement of entrance and exit dose is a valuable quality assurance (QA) tool to ensure accurate dose delivery.  Materials and Methods: This study was performed at BINO Cancer Hospital, Bahawalpur. Entrance and exit dose measurements were done with p-type diode for various types of canc...
