Using the nonlinear differential equations governing the motion of a fluid-filled and prestressed long thin elastic tube, the propagation of nonlinear waves near the marginal state is examined through the use of reductive perturbation method. It is shown that the amplitude modulation near the marginal state is governed by a generalized nonlinear Schr€ odinger (GNLS) equation. Some exact solutio...

By using the spherical coordinates in 3+1 dimensions we study the self-adjointness of the Dirac Hamiltonian in an Aharonov-Bohm gauge field of an infinitely thin magnetic flux tube. It is shown that the angular part of the Dirac Hamiltonian requires self-adjoint extensions as well as its radial one. The self-adjoint extensions of the angular part are parametrized by a 2 × 2 unitary matrix. ∗e-m...

Treating the arteries as a thin-walled and prestressed elastic tube with a stenosis and the blood as a Newtonian fluid with negligible viscosity, we have studied the amplitude modulation of nonlinear waves in such a composite system by use of the reductive perturbation method. The governing evolution equation is obtained as the variable-coefficient nonlinear Schrödinger equation. It is observed...

− A method for the assessment of the dynamic behaviour of heavy current shunts is described, which is based on the evaluation of the shunt frequency response through spectral analysis of input and output measured signals. The method has been tested by applying it to simulated current impulses and experimented in the case of a pulse current, generated by the discharge of a cable capacitance, mea...

Cu/Sn/Zn stacked layers were electrodeposited and subsequently annealed in a tube furnace in elemental sulfur and selenium at 570oC. Cyclic voltammogram of Sn-salt in ionic liquid was recorded. Thin films were characterized by inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (ICP-MS), Auger electron spectroscopy (AES) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The device was characterized by current-v...

objective the purpose of this study was to assess the frequency of complications of endotracheal intubation (eti) in neonates. methods the newborns that were admitted and needed urgent or semi-urgent intubation were enrolled in this study over a 1 year period. route for intubation in all cases were orotracheal. cases were not routinely sedated or paralyzed. the patients were clinically and radi...

background and purpose: inserting a nasogastric tube, though a common clinical procedure with widespread use for critically ill patients, can produce unexpected complications so that tube misplacement into the lungs is a potential complication with serious consequences. the reliability of common bedside methods to differentiate between pulmonary and gastric placement has not been acceptable. th...

We are going to use the Euler’s vector fields in order to show that for real quasi-homogeneous singularities with isolated critical value, the Milnor’s fibration in a ”thin” hollowed tube involving the zero level and the fibration in the complement of ”link” in sphere are equivalents, since they exist. Moreover, in order to do that, we explicitly characterize the critical points of projection f...

• Capillary tubes & SAW devices used to pattern particles in no-flow flowing setups Rectangular tube: particle lines are parallel tube sidewalls for all directions Circular alignment depends on their position along the height Bottom/mid height: parallel/perpendicular direction Continues flow: always flow Acoustofluidic platforms have great potentials integrate capillary controlling and manipula...

Exposure to radiation from different types of television sets was measured to ascertain the levels of hazards posed to the human biological system. Measurement of the annual radiation dose hazards was performed using a halogen-quenched GM tube with thin mica end window having a density of 1.5 mg/cm2, effective window diameter of 0.360 inch and side wall of 0.012 inch thick. The GM tube was plac...
