We propose a phenomenological model for pattern formation in a vertically vibrated layer of granular material. This model exhibits a variety of stable cellular patterns, including standing rolls and squares as well as localized objects (oscillons and worms), similar to recent experimental observations [Umbanhowar, Melo, and Swinney, Nature (London) 382, 793 (1996)]. The model is an amplitude eq...

A modified sum-rates method based on insights provided by an analysis given by Sridhar and Lucia (Ind. Engng Chem. Res. 28, 793-803, 1989) is presented. Newton’s method is used to accelerate the inner loop of combined mass balance and phase equilibrium equations and to solve the outer loop of energy balance equations. All partial derivative information is obtained in analytical form. Several li...

right to hasten death’ ... but on well established, traditional rights to bodily integrity and freedom from unwanted touching.”41 Taken in their totality, these cases show that the American courts have cleaved closely to the guiding principle of one’s liberty to refuse unwanted medical treatment, and have thus far shown no signs of crossing to the other side of the act-omission divide. 35.

In a recent paper Sima, Van Huffel and Golub [Regularized total least squares based on quadratic eigenvalue problem solvers. BIT Numerical Mathematics 44, 793 812 (2004)] suggested a computational approach for solving regularized total least squares problems via a sequence of quadratic eigenvalue problems. Taking advantage of a variational characterization of real eigenvalues of nonlinear eigen...

While a mental lexicon stores phonological, grammatical and semantic features of words, a vocal tract action repository is assumed to store inner motor and sensory representations of speech items (i.e. the sounds, syllables and words) of the speaker’s native language. On the basis of a neural model of speech processing, which comprises important cognitive and sensorimotor aspects of speech prod...
