Topology is a natural mathematical tool for quantifying complex structures. In many applications, such as, for example, in the context of phase-field models in materials science, the structures of interest arise as subor superlevel sets of continuous functions, i.e., as nodal domains. From a computational point of view, any attempt at constructing a truthful representation of the topology of no...

This paper presents a novel algorithm for uncertainty quantification of water distribution system measurement data including nodal demands/consumptions as well as real pressure and flow measurements. This procedure, referred to as a Confidence Limit Analysis (CLA), is concerned with a deployment of a Least Squares (LS) state estimator based on the loop corrective flows and the variation of noda...

A new fundus camera can photograph a field extending anterior to the equator (148 degrees from the nodal point). The problems of reflection from the surfaces of the crystalline lens are minimized by fiber optic illumination from carefully chosen locations on the cornea. The camera may be used with monochromatic light of various wavelengths and is equipped with interference filters.

We consider a parametric Neumann problem with an indefinite and unbounded potential. Using a combination of critical point theory with truncation techniques and with Morse theory, we produce four nontrivial smooth weak solutions: one positive, one negative and two nodal (sign changing).

A direct demonstration is given of interaction between specific neurons without impulses, via graded slow potentials electrotonically spread from one cell to another. Repetitive polarizing or depolarizing current pulses of 50 to 200 msec. and subthreshold intensity were passed through an intracellular electrode in the soma of a follower cell of the isolated ganglion. When the frequency is near ...

dog rose (rosa canina) has been using as a rootstock for ornamental roses also it is one of the medicinal plants. it can be propagated under in vitro conditions. after removing chilling requirement of buds, axillary wood buds of dog rose were cut in three nodal positions (lower, middle and terminal) on the stem and then explants after decontamination, cultured on murashige and skoog medium (ms ...

with the development of deregulated power systems and increase of prices in some hours of day and increase fuel price, demand response programs were noticed more by customers. demand response consists of a series of activities that governments or utilities design to change the amount or time of electric energy consumption, to achieve better social welfare or some times for maximizing the benefi...

introduction: intranodal pathways of atrioventricular (av) node play a vital role in the delay of conduction time in response to various atrial inputs. the present study was aimed to determine the frequency-dependent electrophysiological properties of concealed slow pathway according to a functional model of isolated rabbit atrioventricular node preparation after fast pathway ablation. methods:...
