[1] High-resolution measurements of near-bottom temperature stratification and current velocity were performed on the sloping boundary of a large lake at the depth of the seasonal thermocline. The measurements cover nearly the entire stratified period and reveal the periodic occurrence of strong temperature and current velocity fluctuations, which can be attributed to shoaling high-frequency in...

a semi-batch crystallization system is used to determine growth kinetics and morphology of barium carbonate crystals, under a constant ph value and constant temperature in the various relative supersaturations. results show that crystal growth rate satisfies a first-order kinetic expression at high relative supersaturation, while at relative supersaturation values lower than 3,  the kinetic exp...

cylinder tumble flows of a single cylinder two-valve engine under motoring conditions with two pentroof pistons having different cavities at an engine speed of 1000 rev/min., during suction and compression strokes using particle image velocimetry (PIV). The two-dimensional velocity vector fields are analyzed on a vertical plane passing through the axis of the cylinder. To quantify the tumble fl...

Recently it has been suggested that the KapchinskijVladimirskij (KV) distribution [1] may be of practical interest for high intensity machines in that it may provide the maximum space charge limit for such a machine. One can make a plausible argument that the maximum beam intensity is obtained for a distribution for which all particles have the same tune, at least when the resonance is approach...

A numerical model was used to simulate the bottom Ekman layer of a continental shelf region. The basis for the model was the Mellor and Yamada level 2« turbulence closure scheme. Conservation equations for momentum, turbulent kinetic energy, and turbulent length scale were utilized in the model. The model was used to simulate data taken from a Cyclesonde mooring on the Peruvian continental shel...

This paper presents novel methods of filtering motion sequence, which extend image processing algorithms to deal with motion sequences. The extending approach is the first to processing motion sequences represented by geometric algebra. It maintains many desired properties of geometric algebra such as compactness, generality and intuitive meaning. Experiments with captured motion sequences show...

We survey the role of right-angled Artin groups in the theory of diffeomorphism groups of low dimensional manifolds. We first describe some of the subgroup structure of right-angled Artin groups. We then discuss the interplay between algebraic structure, compactness, and regularity for group actions on one–dimensional manifolds. For compact one–manifolds, every right-angled Artin group acts fai...

We present a local gluing construction for general relativistic initial data sets. The method applies to generic initial data, in a sense which is made precise. In particular the trace of the extrinsic curvature is not assumed to be constant near the gluing points, which was the case for previous such constructions. No global conditions on the initial data sets such as compactness, completeness...
