An analysis is performed to study the flow and heat transfer characteristics of a non-Newtonian Ostwald-de Waele fluid flow over a non-linearly stretching surface in the presence of internal heat generation/ absorption. The stretching velocity and the prescribed surface temperature are assumed to vary with a powerlaw distance from the slit. Using a similarity transformation the governing equati...

AIM Changes in saccade velocity/amplitude characteristics (main sequence) and attenuation of distance esotropia in response to botulinum toxin (BTX-A) chemodenervation of the antagonist medial rectus were studied in a group of nine patients with chronic lateral rectus palsy. METHODS Serial measurements of ocular deviation and infrared oculograms of saccadic eye movements to targets at 5 degre...

The ability to modify and control the radial electric field and its radial derivative can lead to direct control of radial transport of plasma in a toroidal device. In the DIII-D tokamak, the injection of deuterium pellets is being investigated as a means of controlling the toroidal rotation velocity and the radial electric field, Er. Solid deuterium cylindrical pellets of 1.8mm and 2.7mm diame...

A new coaxial plasma gun is described. The long term objective is to accelerate 100-200 microg of plasma with density above 10(17) cm(-3) to greater than 200 km/s with a Mach number above 10. Such high velocity dense plasma jets have a number of potential fusion applications, including plasma refueling, magnetized target fusion, injection of angular momentum into centrifugally confined mirrors,...

Gait alterations of chronic knee arthritis before and after injection of local anesthesia was measured in the orthopedist's office area. A portable gait analyzer was used to evaluate gait characteristics before and after injection of local anesthesia in the chronically arthritic knee. Gait was analyzed during a 400-meter walk. Overall velocity and cadence increased 3.3% (p = 0.016) and 2.8% (p ...

coarse product in the underflow. It is well known that injecting water in the conical part of the cyclone reduces the fine particle fraction in the underflow. This paper presents a mathematical model that simulates the water injection in the conical component. The model accounts for the fluid flow and the particle motion. Particle interaction, due to hindered settling caused by increased densit...
