In recent years, high-speed vessels such as passenger ships, fishing boats, and pleasure have been operated in various applications. Japan, the method of towing test, characteristics hydrodynamic forces acting on hull, kinetic during running waves studied many occasions particularly for planing semi-planing vessels. However, foreign countries, rectangular-shaped that a large flap at fore part E...

Calculating rainfall erosivity, which is the capacity of to dislodge soil particles and cause erosion, requires measurement kinetic energy (KE). Direct KE has its own challenges, owing high cost complexity measuring instruments involved. Consequently, often approximated using empirical equations derived from intensity (Ir) inputs in absence such instruments. However, KE–Ir strongly depend on lo...

We have evaluated the Technicon AutoAnalyzer method, the Beckman Creatinine Analyzer II, DuPont aca, Electro-Nucleonics GEMSAEC, and Instrumentation Laboratory Model 916 kinetic methods for determination of serum creatinine. These methods, which involve the Jaffé reaction, all showed a statistically significant proportional error relative to an ion-exchange pretreatment method for creatinine in...

The semiclassical instanton approach discussed by Kryvohuz [J. Chem. Phys. 134, 114103 (2011)] is applied to calculate kinetic H/D isotope effect (KIE) of intramolecular hydrogen transfer in cis-1,3-pentadiene. All 33 vibrational degrees of freedom are treated quantum mechanically with semiclassical approximation. Nuclear quantum effects such as tunneling under the barrier and zero-point energy...

We review the state-of-the-art in the modelling of the aggregation and collective behavior of interacting agents of similar size and body type, typically called swarming. Starting with individual-based models based on “particle”-like assumptions, we connect to hydrodynamic/macroscopic descriptions of collective motion via kinetic theory. We emphasize the role of the kinetic viewpoint in the mod...

The Web allows self-regulated learning through interaction with large amounts of learning resources. While enjoying the flexibility of learning, learners may suffer from cognitive overload and conceptual and navigational disorientation when faced with various information resources under disparate topics and complex knowledge structures. This study proposed a knowledge visualization (KV) approac...
