SUSY effects on various flavor changing neutral current processes are discussed in the minimal supergravity model and the SU(5) grand unified theory with righthanded neutrino supermultiplets. In particular, in the latter case the neutrino Yukawa coupling constants can be a source of the flavor mixing in the right-handeddown-type-squark sector. It is shown that due to this mixing the time-depend...

Stable isotopes are a powerful tool for ecologists, often used to assess contributions of different sources to a mixture (e.g. prey to a consumer). Mixing models use stable isotope data to estimate the contribution of sources to a mixture. Uncertainty associated with mixing models is often substantial, but has not yet been fully incorporated in models. We developed a Bayesian-mixing model that ...

A phenomenological model for turbulent mixing in a stratified fluid is presented. This model describes the evolution of the local probability distribution for the fluid density. It is based on an analogy between the mixing of vorticity in 2D turbulent flows and the mixing of density in (3D) turbulent flows.

Heat generation is a major safety concern in the design and development of lithium ion batteries (LIBs) for large scale applications, such as electric vehicles. The total heat generation in LIBs includes entropic heat, enthalpy, reaction heat, and heat of mixing (1-3). The heat of mixing will be released during relaxation of Li ion concentration gradient. For instance, after the drivers turn of...

In this article we demonstrate how to generate independent and identically distributed samples from the model space of the Bayes linear model with orthogonal predictors. We use the method of coupled Markov chains from the past as introduced by Propp and Wilson (1996). This procedure alleviates any concerns over convergence and sample mixing. We present a number of examples including a perfect s...
