an internal ballistics model has been developed for performance prediction of a solid propellant rocket motor. inthis model a 1-d unsteady euler equation with source terms is considered. the flow is assumed as a non-reacting mixture of perfect gases with space and time varying thermo physical properties. the governing equations in the combustion chamber are solved numerically by using the stege...

This paper describes our work in-progress on a new automatic indexing technique for large one-dimensional (1D) or time-series data. The principal idea of the proposed time-series data indexing method is to encode the shape of time-series into an alphabet of characters and then to treat them as text. As far as we know this is a novel approach to 1D data indexing. In this paper we report our prel...

The notion of a first order topological structure was introduced by Pillay [1] as a generalization of the notion of an o-minimal structure. The idea is to provide a general framework in which model theory can be used to analyze a topological structure whose topology isn’t necessarily induced by a definable order. In the o-minimal case, the topology is generated from a basis where each basis set...

The lattice theoretic terminology used in this paper is consistent with Birkhoff [2]. The topological terms can be found in [5] or [8] with the following exceptions. If X and Y are sets, X\Y denotes the relative compliment of Y with respect to X. If A is a subset of a topological space then A*, A"and FiA)=A*\A° denote the topological closure, interior and boundary of A. The symbol 0 denotes the...

Preparing polymer-like materials through supramolecular chemistry is an area of growing interest, yet full understanding of how non-covalent forces may be used to prepare such materials is lacking and as a result the success of these strategies is often serendipitous. Recent examples of discrete one-dimensional supramolecular fibers employing the most important types of non-covalent interaction...

In this paper we investigate the properties of a one-dimensional quantum wire of interacting electrons in the Wigner crystal limit. Recent theoretical work has explored some of the classical and quantum phase transitions associated with this system. For example, there exists a critical density above which the system can lower its energy by forming a quasi-one-dimensional zig-zag chain. We also ...

Recent experimental and theoretical work has indicated conditions in which a trapped, low density Bose gas ought to behave like the 1D delta-function Bose gas solved by Lieb and Liniger. Up until now, the theoretical arguments have been based on variational/perturbative ideas or numerical investigations. There are four parameters: density, transverse and longitudinal dimensions, and scattering ...
