In this study, hot metal gas forming process of AA6063aluminumtubeis studied with a focus on heat transfer of both fluid and solid phases numerically. An experimental study is simultaneously conducted to validate the numerical method. Some of the most important outputs of the present study, are velocity distribution of fluid inside the tube as well as the fluid in the gap between tube and matri...

This paper proposes a real-time fluid rendering method based on the screen space scheme for particle-based simulation. Our applies anisotropic transformations to point sprites stretch along appropriate axes, obtaining smooth surfaces weighted principal components analysis of particle distribution. Then we combine processed sprite information with popular filters like curvature flow and narrow-r...

Although group (IV-VII) nonmetallic elements do not favor interacting with anionic species, there are counterexamples including the halogen bond. Such binding is known to be related to the charge deficiency because of the adjacent atom's electron withdrawing effect, which creates σ/π-holes at the bond-ends. However, a completely opposite behavior is exhibited by N2 and O2, which have electrosta...

The spherically symmetric, static spacetime generated by a cross-flow of non-interacting null dust streams can be conveniently interpreted as the radiation atmosphere of a star, which also receives exterior radiation. Formally, such a superposition of sources is equivalent to an anisotropic fluid. Therefore, there is a preferred time function in the system, defined by this reference fluid. This...

Abstract The typical spectrum of the prompt emission gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) indicates that electron cooling is suppressed in spite strong magnetic field standard synchrotron model. Recent particle-in-cell simulations show particle acceleration by reconnection a magnetically dominated plasma can lead to small pitch angles especially low-energy region. Such angle prevents electrons from via radi...

A characteristic feature of the somatosensory cortex in rodents is the presence of discrete cellular aggregates in layer 4 (barrels) that process input from the mystacial vibrissae. Just like thalamic cells that relay vibrissal information to the barrels, barrel cells display directional preference to whisker motion. The present study examined whether the projection of single thalamic cells int...

After having closely re-examined the notion of a Lévy’s stable vector, it is shown that the notion of a stable multivariate distribution is more general than previously defined. Indeed, a more intrinsic vector definition is obtained with the help of non isotropic dilations and a related notion of generalized scale. In this framework, the components of a stable vector may not only have distinct ...

Bones are able to adapt their local density when exposed to mechanical loading. Such growth processes result in densification of the bone in regions of high loading levels and in resorption of the material in regions of low loading levels. This evolution and optimisation process generates heterogeneous distributions of bone density accompanied by pronounced anisotropic mechanical properties. Wh...
