Effects of 4-aminomethyl-1-benzylpyrrolidin-2-one-hemifumarate (WEB 1881 FU), a novel pyrrolidinone nootropic, on acetylcholine (ACh) receptors and adrenoceptors were investigated using crude membranes of the rat brain. The affinity order of WEB 1881 FU was: M1-muscarinic (m) ACh receptor greater than M2-mACh receptor greater than alpha 2-adrenoceptor greater than beta-adrenoceptor greater than...

The effects of a typical glaze ice accretion shape on the performance of the M2129 S-duct inlet are computationally investigated for a range of flight Mach numbers. A Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) code with k-o> turbulence model is used to simulate the compressible viscous flow in the S-duct inlet. The glaze ice accretion on the cowl lip is modeled on a steady-state basis f rom N A S A...

Preconditioning methods have become the method of choice for the solution of flowfields involving the simultaneous presence of low Mach number flow and transonic flow regions. It is well known that these methods are important for insuring accurate numerical discretization as well as convergence efficiency over various operating conditions such as low Mach number, low Reynolds number and high St...

We introduce a low Mach number equation set for the large-scale numerical simulation of carbon-oxygen white dwarfs experiencing a thermonuclear deflagration. Since most of the interesting physics in a Type Ia supernova transpires at Mach numbers from 0.01 to 0.1, such an approach enables both a considerable increase in accuracy and a savings in computer time compared with frequently used compre...

We present numerical solutions of weak shock Mach reflections that contain a remarkably complex sequence of supersonic patches, triple points, and expansion fans immediately behind the leading triple point. This structure resolves the von Neumann triple point paradox of weak shock Mach reflection. During the second world war, von Neumann carried out an extensive study of shock reflection [5]. H...

We prove uniform existence results for the full Navier-Stokes equations for time intervals which are independent of the Mach number, the Reynolds number and the Péclet number. We consider general equations of state and we give an application for the low Mach number limit combustion problem introduced by Majda in [18].

NPS is a real-time network engine provided by RealTime Mach for real-time applications and distributed multimedia systems. NPS provides a framework for implementing real-time network protocols which are able to bound end-to-end delay and throughput. Real-Time Mach also provides a framework to select the suitable implementations of a network protocol implemented in di erent network engines.

BACKGROUND Machiavellianism is a personality trait characterized by emotional detachment and tendency to manipulate others to achieve one's own goal. It is presumed that people high in Machiavellianism would more likely choose business-related occupations, whereas low Machiavellians would prefer helping professions, therefore medical professionals are expected to be low-Machs. SUBJECTS AND ME...
