The present investigation deals with the deformation in micropolar generalized thermoelastic medium with mass diffusion subjected to thermo mechanical loading due to thermal laser pulse. Laplace and Fourier transform technique is used to solve the problem. Concentrated normal force and thermal source are taken to illustrate the utility of approach. The closed form expressions of normal stress, ...

Recent efforts in the Graphics Program have concentrated on the development of a Graphical Service System, display routines compatible with the new time-sharing system, APEX, and a universal translator, VITAL, which will be used to generate a graphical compiler. Programs for clipping and approximating conic segments have been developed and initial experiments which apply graphical techniques to...

This paper is concerned with the approximate and exact controllability properties of the wave equation with interior point controls entering via the concentrated force, the velocity of the displacement and the moment. The emphasis is given to the moving point controls and their dual observations whose advantages and disadvantages, versus the static ones, are analyzed with respect to the space d...

Art, science, mathematics, technology, engineering and medicine became concentrated in silos around the time of the reformation. This both accelerated the disciplines whilst holding back the benefits to be gained from their linking. Today they are coming back together as a much-required force for innovation and understanding at a time when we are being progressively overtaken by vast amounts of...

We estimate the impact of the Great Recession of 2007-2009 on health outcomes in the United States. We show that a one percentage point increase in the unemployment rate resulted in a 7.8-8.8% increase in reports of poor health. In addition, mental health was adversely impacted. These effects were concentrated among those with strong labor force attachments. Whites, the less educated, and women...

Current numerical methods have slow dynamic visualisation capability, which is usually separate from the calculation phase. This paper investigates whether an analogue virtual reality (VR) model of a structure can integrate calculation and visual representation. The paper shows how the user can interact with a VR analogue model of a cantilever beam, move a concentrated load along the length of ...

We present a multi-scale molecular modeling of concentrated solutions of unknotted and non-concatenated ring polymers under good solvent conditions. The approach is based on a multi-blob representation of each ring polymer, which is capable of overcoming the shortcomings of single-blob approaches that lose their validity at concentrations exceeding the overlap density of the solution [A. Narros...
