In this paper, we investigate a relaxation of the C continuity conditions between functional, triangular Bézier patches, allowing for patches to meet approximately C. We analyze the cross boundary continuity of functional triangular Bézier patches, and derive a bound for the discontinuity in the normals between two patches based on their control points. We test our discontinuity bound on a simp...

Abstract Most studies of secondary currents (SCs) over streamwise aligned ridges have been performed for rectangular ridge cross-sections. In this study, above triangular are systematically studied using direct numerical simulations turbulent channel flow. The influence spacing on flow topology, mean flow, and turbulence statistics is investigated at two friction Reynolds numbers, 550 1000. add...

The heterogeneous network, contains a macro cell and a grid of low power nodes with the same frequencies, can improve the system capacity and spectrum efficiency. Configuring low-power nodes that share the same spectrum with macro cell to form heterogeneous networks makes it more likely to improve the system capacity and spectrum efficiency, but inevitably, strong co-channel interference is the...

Bridge grafting (15 mm) into the sciatic nerve of SD rats was carried out using tendon chitosan tubes having either a circular or triangular cross-section, as well as triangular tubes combined with laminin, CDPGYIGSR, or CSRARKQAASIKVAVSAD (n = 15 in each group). As a control, isografting (15 mm) was carried out in the SD rats (n = 7). Specimens were taken after 1, 2, 4, 6, and 8 weeks for hist...

We report our recent efforts directed at improving high-field DNP experiments. We investigated a series of thiourea nitroxide radicals and the associated DNP enhancements ranging from ε = 25 to 82 that demonstrate the impact of molecular structure on performance. We directly polarized low-gamma nuclei including 13C, 2H, and 17O using trityl via the cross effect. We discuss a variety of sample p...
