Traditional methods of managing human capital, innovation, and learning within organizations, particularly law firms, have proven ineffective as they often fail to contribute to a firm’s success. Over the last few decades, the rise of a knowledge-based economy has precipitated the need for management of such intangible assets, as they often signify a company’s competitive advantage. This paper ...

The spreading of liquid drops on surfaces corrugated with micrometer-scale parallel grooves is studied both experimentally and numerically. Because of the surface patterning, the typical final drop shape is no longer spherical. The elongation direction can be either parallel or perpendicular to the direction of the grooves, depending on the initial drop conditions. We interpret this result as a...

background: silicon hydrogel bandage contact lenses are used to enhance epithelial healing, control surface-generated pain, and prevent epithelial erosions after refractive surgery. considering the importance of faster reepithelialization in preventing complications of photorefractive keratectomy (prk) and the fact that the features and specifications of these commercially-available lenses are ...

The ingredients required for computationally e cient large-scale 3D FE contact analyses of automobile tires are presented. A hybrid nite element is employed for describing the nearly incompressible behaviour of rubber. The reinforcing cords are represented numerically by means of rebar elements. Strategies for reducing the amount of CPU time and disk space are reported including an iterative so...

It is demonstrated that, for the slow advance of a viscous liquid onto a previously dry substrate, the well-known moving contact line paradox is alleviated for liquids exhibiting power-law shear-thinning behavior. In contrast to previous models that allow contact-line motion, it is no longer necessary to abandon the no-slip condition at the substrate in the vicinity of’the contact point. While ...

the effect of geometry and material of the micro/nano particle on contact mechanic for manipulation was studied in this work based on atomic force microscopy. hertz contact model simulation for eph biological micro particle with spherical, cylindrical, and circular crowned roller shape was used to investigate the effect of geometry on contact simulation process in manipulation. then, to validat...

Fermi Transport is useful for describing the behaviour of spins or gyroscopes following nongeodesic, timelike world lines. However, Fermi Transport breaks down for null world lines. We introduce a transport law for polarisation vectors along non-geodesic null curves. We show how this law emerges naturally from the geometry of null directions by comparing polarisation vectors associated with two...
