boundary layer growth and hence displacement thickness are the key factors in shock position over aerodynamical surfaces at transonic regimes. since boundary layer growth is a function of free stream reynolds number and also of the transition location, the free stream reynolds number and also the other parameters involved in the boundary layer growth and its transition location are determinant ...

The objective of this Perspective was to provide guidance to hospitalists and hospital clinical leadership on how to implement the Caregiver Advise Record and Enable (CARE) Act, which has been passed into law in 30 US states and territories. Specifically, the objective is 3-fold: (1) increase awareness among hospitalists and encourage them to begin to prepare for implementation, (2) explore the...

We present a simple model of communication in networks with hierarchical branching. We analyze the behavior of the model from the viewpoint of critical systems under different situations. For certain values of the parameters, a continuous phase transition between a sparse and a congested regime is observed and accurately described by an order parameter and the power spectra. At the critical poi...

The theory of hyperbolic conservation laws has been successfully applied to the study of vehicular traffic flows. We present here some models showing phase transitions, that in terms of traffic flows correspond to two distinct behaviors, free or congested.

the one-third paradigm of pbe0 density functional, pbe0-1/3, has shown to be a successful method for various properties. in this paper, the applicability of pbe0-1/3 is put into broader perspective for transition metals chemistry. as a comparative study, the performance of pbe0 and pbe0-1/3 has been assessed for geometries and vibrational frequencies of some transition metal hydrides and transi...

High quality GGG:Cr,Ca crystal for passive Q-switching Nd:garnet lasers has been grown by the Czochralski method. Thermal treatment of GGG crystals co-doped with Cr4+ and Ca2+ at different temperatures is investigated. The absorption spectra were resolved into different peaks, of modified Gaussian line-shape. Transition from octahedral sites to tetrahedral ones is thermally activated. An...

We present Counterexample-Guided Accelerated Abstraction Refinement (CEGAAR), a new algorithm for verifying infinite-state transition systems. CEGAAR combines interpolation-based predicate discovery in counterexampleguided predicate abstraction with acceleration technique for computing the transitive closure of loops. CEGAAR applies acceleration to dynamically discovered looping patterns in the...

HybridSal is a tool for enabling verification of hybrid systems using infinite bounded model checking and k-induction. The core component of the tool is an abstraction engine that automatically creates a discrete, but infinite, state transition system abstraction of the continuous dynamics in the system. In this paper, we describe HybridSal’s new capability to create time-aware relational abstr...

Architecturally, the Seljuqs' dominion makes a significant shift from the Pre-Islamic Sassanid squinches into a sophisticated transition mechanism employed to change the walls of a square chamber to an octagonal base to set a dome which this initiated a new construction methodology to hybridize the previous experiences of Sassanid domes with new architectural tendencies since the previous under...
