the threshold of weak and strong synchronization in a coupled chaotic gaussian map isdemonstrated by using the pyragas’ terminology. however, vieira and lichtenberg have shown that thepyragas’ criteria for weak and strong synchronization cannot be used for all chaotic systems. in this articlewe demonstrated some interesting synchronization behavior of two coupled chaotic systems with some zeroa...

Abstract In this work, the role of appropriate mixing for mercaptan removal from Kerosene using caustic soda has been investigated in the pilot scale. Static mixer at different condition has been used as a passive mixing tool to achieve proper mixing and consequently high performance of mercaptan removal. Two lengths of static mixer including 20 and 40 cm as well as two pitches 1 and 3 m...

We report on the first THz balanced mixer/upconverter using a Schottky diode MMIC chip. Using an optically pumped laser at 1562 GHz as an LO source with a coupled power of about 1 mW, and 1 mW input at an IF frequency of 10 GHz, we obtained a sideband output power of 23 uW (sum of two sidebands). As a mixer, at an LO of 1621 GHz, we obtain a conversion loss of 12.4 dB DSB and a noise temperatur...

in this work, different types of chaotic 1-manifolds which lie on the chaotic spheres or on a torus are introduced. some types of retractions of the chaotic spheres affect on the 1-chaotic systems, and other types of retractions occur to the geometric manifold but make the 1-chaotic manifold invariant. the existed retractions are discussed through new proved theorems. also we construct diffe...

A few years ago, the process of selecting a mixer for most applications was straightforward. When increased demand required an increase in production, process engineers were naturally inclined to choose the type of mixer that had worked before in the same application. When they began talking to equipment manufacturers, their questions focused on capacity, auxiliary equipment, projected delivery...

This paper discusses the design and evaluation of the system MIXER (Moderating Interactions for Cross-Cultural Empathic Relationships), which applies a novel approach to the education of children in cultural sensitivity. MIXER incorporates intelligent affective and interactive characters, including a model of a Theory of Mind mechanism, in a simulated virtual world. We discuss the relevant peda...

The mixer chain on a graph G is the following Markov chain. Place tiles on the vertices of G, each tile labeled by its corresponding vertex. A “mixer” moves randomly on the graph, at each step either moving to a randomly chosen neighbor, or swapping the tile at its current position with some randomly chosen adjacent tile. We study the mixer chain on Z, and show that at time t the expected dista...

We have developed a microfluidic mixer for studying protein folding and other reactions with a mixing time of 8 mus and sample consumption of femtomoles. This device enables us to access conformational changes under conditions far from equilibrium and at previously inaccessible time scales. In this paper, we discuss the design and optimization of the mixer using modeling of convective diffusion...

In this paper the selection of a mixer topology for a multi-standard, non-concurrent front-end is presented. The front-end is designed for Digital Enhanced Cordless Telephone (DECT) systems and systems for wireless communications, which operate in the 2.4 GHz Industrial Scientific Medical (ISM) band (like Bluetooth or DECT alike systems at 2.4 GHz). Three mixer topologies are presented and eval...

Accurately identifying patient’s status through medical images plays an important role in diagnosis and treatment. Artificial intelligence (AI), especially the deep learning, has achieved great success many fields. However, more reliable AI model is needed image guided therapy. To achieve this goal, developing a balanced, safe robust with unified framework desirable. In study, new termed as aut...
