To obtain the velocity and temperature field of subway station and the optimized ventilation mode of subway side-platform station, this paper takes the evaluation and optimization of the ventilation for subway side-platform station as main line, builds three dimensional models of original and optimization design of the existed and rebuilt station. And using the two-equation turbulence model as ...

In challenging environments where the risk of loss of a robot is high, robot teams are a natural choice. In many applications like for example rescue missions there are two crucial tasks for the robots. First, they have to efficiently and exhaustively explore the environment. Second, they must keep up a network connection to the base-station to transmit data to ensure timely arrival and secure ...

Presternal butterfly keloid management remains a clinical challenge. This case indicates, with hypo fractionated external beam electron therapy a significant symptomatic and cosmetic benefit may be achieved without any unacceptable acute, chronic or long term toxicity.

Materials and methods This is a preliminary randomized study lead at the CMCR des Massues in Lyon since April 2010 to January 2011 about 40 teenagers treated by Abbott cast. First group (n=17) have had 3D analysis before cast and second (n=23) group after cast. With the 3D analysis we have worked out if the thoracic band was put by classical method or was conversely put (based on plane of maxim...

Moral emotions are evolved mechanisms that function in part to optimize social relationships. We discuss two moral emotions— disgust and the “cuteness response”—which modulate social-engagement motives in opposite directions, changing the degree to which the eliciting entity is imbued with mental states (i.e., mentalized). Disgust-inducing entities are hypo-mentalized (i.e., dehumanized); cute ...

Clinico-bacteriological study was done in 51 leprosy patients below 14 years of age. Majority of the patients were males in the age group of 11 14 years. Nearly 84% had not received any prior treatment because of lack of awareness and financial constraints. Only 11.76% had a positive contact history. Skin lesions were present in all cases and 84.3% had lesions mainly on the exposed areas of the...

The Urban Heat Island (UHI) phenomenon prevalently concerns industrialized countries. It consists of a significant increase in temperatures, especially in industrialized and urbanized areas, in particular, during extreme warm periods like summer. This paper explores the climate variability of temperatures in two stations located in Matera city (Southern Italy), evaluating the increase in temper...

The Persistent Turning Walker Model (PTWM) was introduced by Gautrais et al in Mathematical Biology for the modelling of fish motion. It involves a nonlinear pathwise functional of a non-elliptic hypo-elliptic diffusion. This diffusion solves a kinetic Fokker-Planck equation based on an Ornstein-Uhlenbeck Gaussian process. The long time “diffusive” behavior of this model was recently studied by...

This paper presents a new Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) measurement technique that employs the ElectroOptic (EO) probe. Conventionally, the electric field (E-field) probe comprising diode-loaded dipole sensors is employed for SAR measurements. We developed a prototype of a three-axis EO probe for SAR measurement. This three-axis EO probe is capable of measuring both the amplitude and phase of ...
