A new approach to DSMC collision modelling, called viscosity-DSMC or μ-DSMC, is described in which the time-averaged temperature is used to set the characteristic collision cross-section in each cell such that the Chapman-Enskog viscosity is that given by any desired viscosity law μ = μ (T ), including a curve fit to experimental data. For example, a hard sphere collision model, with hard spher...

Recently, moiré superlattices have been found on the surface of topological insulators due to rotational misalignment topmost layers. In this work, we study effects states using a continuum model Dirac electrons moving in periodic potential. Unlike twisted bilayer graphene, cannot host isolated bands their nature. Instead, find (high-order) van Hove singularities (VHS) band structure that give ...

This paper examines the welfare effects of market segmentation using the example of the video rental and sales markets (both VHS and DVD formats). I consider a market with two types of buyers: institutional and individual buyers. Institutional buyers rent the good to low-value individuals, while relatively high-value individuals purchase the good directly rather than renting it. Copyright law i...

Dilated cardiomyopathy is a relatively common disease in pet rats (Rattus norvegicus); however, there lack of radiographic references for the normal cardiac size this species. The aim prospective, anatomical and reference interval study was to establish quantitative range measurements vertebral heart score (VHS) rats. Right lateral (RL), ventrodorsal (VD), dorsoventral (DV) radiographs clinical...

We describe the finding of a novel viral haemorrhagic septicaemia virus (VHSV) Genotype III strain that caused disease of both a neurological and septicaemic nature in seawater-farmed rainbow trout Oncorhynchus mykiss in Storfjorden, Norway. In November 2007, an outbreak of VHS associated with slightly elevated mortality was confirmed at a seawater site rearing rainbow trout (90 to 440 g). With...

This research aims to determine work willingness after industrial placement of XII-grade students in the study program electrical power installation engineering (TITL) at VHS 5 Padang. The method uses a quantitative descriptive approach using similarity terms cognitive, affective, and psychomotor. results this indicate will 31 is likely be more interested entering higher education or entreprene...

General expressions for the contributions of the Van Hove singularity (VHS) in the electron density of states to the thermodynamic potential Ω are obtained in the framework of a microscopic Fermi liquid theory. The renormalization of the singularities in Ω connected with the Lifshitz electronic topological transition (ETT) is found. Screening anomalies due to virtual transitions between VHS and...

Deep near-infrared $J$- and $K$-band photometry of three Local Group dwarf spheroidal galaxies: Fornax, Carina, Sculptor, is made available for the community. Until now, these data have only been used by Araucaria Project to determine distances using tip red giant RR Lyrae stars. Now, we present entire collection in a form database, consisting accurate magnitudes, sky coordinates, ellipticity m...

Our previous studies have shown that extensive spinal lesions at T12 in the rabbit [ventral hemisection (VHS) or 3/4-section that spares one ventral quadrant (VQ)] severely damaged the postural system. When tested on the platform periodically tilted in the frontal plane, VHS and VQ animals typically were not able to perform postural corrective movements by their hindlimbs, although EMG response...

This paper presents a series of tests that have been conducted to validate the collision models of the HawkDSMC implementation. These tests cover the hard sphere (HS), variable hard sphere (VHS), and variable soft sphere (VSS) collision models, and the LarsenBorgnakke energy exchange model, for non-reacting gas mixtures. The results show that Hawkobtains the correct results in all cases under c...
