Phase inversion in liquid-liquid dispersions corresponds to the transitional boundary between Oil-in-Aqueous dispersion and Aqueous-in-Oil dispersion. A theoretical model based on simple assumptions was proposed to predict phase inversion point, ambivalence region and the hysteresis effect of inversion. Experimental data from the literature were used to validate the model and results were c...

We present an analysis of the spatial covariance structure of an articulated motion prior in which joint angles have a known covariance structure. From this, a well-known, but often ignored, deficiency of the kinematic skeleton representation becomes clear: spatial variance not only depends on limb lengths, but also increases as the kinematic chains are traversed. We then present two similar Ga...

We calculate the shape of the photon spectrum for B → Xs + γ decay in the presence of a background chromomagnetic field for the case of SU(2) gauge group. The effect of the external field resembles the Zeeman effect the parton model peak is split into two slightly assymetric peaks, located around the kinematic endpoint. We investigate the analytic properties of the spectrum and calculate the to...

This paper deals with coordinated tasks for mobile nonholonomic manip-ulators. The systems are composed of a nonholonomic mobile platform and a simple kinematic chain holonomic arm. First, concepts such that redundancy and singular conngurations are deened. Then, reduced diierential models are introduced. It is then possible to work with a set of independant task coordinates. Applications follo...

new structural, metamorphic, finite strain and kinematic vorticity data for granitic gneiss and metavolcano-sedimentary rocks of thetanumaharea in the arabian shield in saudi arabia reveal a history of deformation reflecting different tectonic regimes. kinematic analysis shows their relationship to the nappe contacts between the granitic gneiss and metavolcano-sedimentary rocks and explains the...

oculo-auriculovertebral dysplasia (goldenhar) is a congenital syndrome. its phenotype differs from craniofacial anomalies to cardiac, vertebral or central nervous system defects. this syndrome is rare and its etiology is not apparent yet. pericentric inversion of chromosome 9 is one of the most common structural balanced chromosomal aberrations with its incidences 15% to 25%. herein we present ...

background: patellofemoral pain syndrome (pfps) is one of the most frequent causes of anterior knee pain in adolescents and adults. this disorder can have a big effect on patients’ ability and quality of life and gait.   methods: this review included all articles published during 1990 to 2016. an extensive literature search was performed in databases of science direct, google scholar, pubmed an...

equatorial/axial conversion in piperidine and phosphorinane with different substituents wereinvestigated with great details. three possible routes, i.e. heteroatom inversion and two ring inversiontype were considered. ring conversion can occur via two pathways one starts with ring flatteningfrom the heteroatom site (nitrogen in piperidine and phosphorous in phosphorinane) and the otherinitiates...
