The effect of partial slip and temperature dependent fluid properties on the MHD mixed convection flow from a heated, non-linearly stretching surface in the presence of radiation and non-uniform internal heat generation/absorption is investigated. The velocity of the stretching surface was assumed to vary according to power-law form. Thermal transport is analyzed for two types of non-isothermal...

objective: this study was performed to evaluate the normative data and psychometric properties and the internal consistency of the farsi (persian) version of the strength and difficulties questionnaire (sdq) self-report form, as a screening tool in a community-based sample of 12 to 17 year-old   adolescents of urban tehran. materials & methods:  in this investigation, 1105 adolescents (12 to 17...

Previous research on implicit focus on form (FonF) has shown that target forms are not always noticed by learners, suggesting that externally-created salience (by the teacher) does not necessarily guarantee learners’ internally-generated salience (Sharwood Smith, 1991, 1993). In an attempt to explore ways of promoting both types of salience, an input enhancement study was conducted in order to ...

Nest construction is a common form of parental care in soil organisms. However, it is unknown whether the tropical earthworm Pontoscolex corethrurus produces nests in soils with low nutritional quality habitats. Here we studied the reproductive behaviour and nest site selection of P. corethrurus, and tested the hypothesis whether P. corethrurus produces more cocoons in habitats with low nutriti...

In this paper we give conditions on the internal wear process under which the resulting time to failure model will be of the simple collapsible form Oakes Duchesne and Lawless when the usage accumulation history is available We suppose that failure occurs when internal wear crosses a certain threshold and or a trau matic event causes the item to fail Cox and Bagdonavi cius and Nikulin We model ...

|We continue the analysis of (r; q)-polycycles, i.e., planar graphs G that admit a realization on the plane such that all internal vertices have degree q, all boundary vertices have degree at most q, and all internal faces are combinatorial r-triangles; moreover, the vertices, edges, and internal faces form a cell complex. Two extremal problems related to chemistry are solved: the description o...

Measurements of the electric and magnetic form factors have been carried out by means of scattering of polarized electrons from vector-polarized hydrogen and deuterium. The experiment used the longitudinally polarized stored electron beam of the MIT-Bates South Hall Ring along with an isotopically pure, highly vector-polarized internal atomic hydrogen and deuterium target provided by an atomic ...

Since fluctuations can be magnified due to internal interactions under a certain condition, the equal-probability does not hold. The entropy would be defined as ∑ − = r r r t P t P k t S ) ( ln ) ( ) ( . From this or Ω = ln k S in an internal condensed process, possible decrease of entropy is calculated. Internal interactions, which bring about inapplicability of the statistical independence, c...

In this paper we give conditions on the internal wear process under which the resulting time-to-failure model will be of the simple collapsible form (Oakes, 1995, Duchesne and Lawless, 2000) when the usage accumulation history is available. We suppose that failure occurs when internal wear crosses a certain threshold and/or a traumatic event causes the item to fail (Cox, 1999 and Bagdonavi cius...
