Abstract Late intake valve closing (LIVC) Miller cycle was used on a highly-intensified single cylinder diesel engine to reduce the maximum combustion pressure and temperature. Three cams with three LIVC timings were designed tested bench. The gas exchange process of investigated by 1-D simulation model which calibrated experimental data. analysis conducted at constant speed 3600 r/min two IMEP...

We present two different types of models where, for certain singular cardinals λ of uncountable cofinality, λ → (λ, ω + 1), although λ is not a strong limit cardinal. We announce, here, and will present in a subsequent paper, [7], that, for example, consistently, אω1 6→ (אω1 , ω+1) 2 and consistently, 20 6→ (20 , ω + 1).

This study examines the moderating effect of organisational life cycle (OLC) stages on the association between the approach to using controls (interactive versus diagnostic) with organisational performance. Analysis is conducted in respect to Miller and Friesen’s (1984) organisational life cycle (OLC) stages (birth, growth, maturity, and revival). Data were collected by a survey questionnaire f...

The Moore bound for a diregular digraph of degree d and diameter k is Md k d d It is known that digraphs of order Md k do not exist for d and k or In this paper we study digraphs of degree d diameter k and order Md k denoted by d k digraphs Miller and Fris showed that k digraphs do not exist for k Subsequently we gave a necessary condition of the existence of k digraphs namely k digraphs do not...

This paper develops a quantitative dynamic general equilibrium model in which households' preferences for safe and liquid assets constitute a violation of Modigliani and Miller. I show that the scarcity of these coveted assets created by increased bank capital requirements can reduce overall bank funding costs and increase bank lending. I quantify this mechanism in a two-sector business cycle m...

In sexually reproducing animals, the ability to coordinate oocyte maturation and sperm availability has profound effects on reproductive success. InCaenorhabditis elegans, cell–cell signaling is crucial for promoting germline development, oocyte maturation, and ovulation. In this issue of Genes & Development, Miller et al. (2003) provide new insights into the role that sperm play in oocyte matu...

The bounded diameter minimum spanning tree (BDMST) problem is NP-hard and appears e.g. in communication network design when considering certain quality of service requirements. Prior exact approaches for the BDMST problem mostly rely on network flow-based mixed integer linear programming and Miller-Tucker-Zemlin-based formulations. This article presents a new, compact 0–1 integer linear program...
