BACKGROUND The predictions of stress fields in Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm (AAA) depend on constitutive descriptions of the aneurysm wall and the Intra-luminal Thrombus (ILT). ILT is a porous diluted structure (biphasic solid-fluid material) and its impact on AAA biomechanics is controversially discussed in the literature. Specifically, pressure measurements showed that the ILT cannot protect the...

In the primate visual cortex, the phase of spikes relative to oscillations in the local field potential (LFP) in the gamma frequency range (30-80 Hz) can be shifted by stimulus features such as orientation and thus the phase may carry information about stimulus identity. According to the principle of communication through coherence (CTC), the relative LFP phase between the LFPs in the sending a...

Polarization insensitive wavelength conversion of a 40 Gb/s non-return-to-zero (NRZ) differential phase-shift keying (DPSK) data signal is demonstrated using four-wave mixing (FWM) in a silicon nanowire circuit. Polarization independence is achieved using a diversity circuit based on polarization rotators and splitters, which is fabricated by a simple process on the silicon-on-insulator (SOI) p...

we consider an m/g/1 queue with regular and optional phase vacation and withstate dependent arrival rate. the vacation policy is after completion of service if there are no customers in the system, the server takes vacation consisting of k -phases, each phase is generally distributed. here the first phase is compulsory where as the other phases are optional. for this model the supplementary var...

Due to the importance effect of magnetic field on the history of long-term radial and circumfer-ential creep strain and radial displacement for a three-phase nano-composite exposed to an internal pressure and placed uniform temperature, the present article subject has been pro-posed. Three-phase nano-composite made of single-walled carbon nano tubes (SWCNTs)/ glass fiber (GF)/vinylester used to...

Cerebellar Model Articulation Controller Neural Network is a computational model of cerebellum which acts as a lookup table. The advantages of CMAC are fast learning convergence, and capability of mapping nonlinear functions due to its local generalization of weight updating, single structure and easy processing. In the training phase, the disadvantage of some CMAC models is unstable phenomenon...
