The primary cilium which is an organelle in nearly every cell in the vertebrate body extends out of the cell surface like an antenna and is known as cell sensor of mechanical and chemical stimuli. In previous numerical simulations, researchers modeled this organelle as a cantilevered beam attached to the cell surface. In the present study, however, we present a novel model that accommodates for...

Charge transport in organic devices depends strongly on the molecular order and morphology of the organic semiconductor thin films. In the design of new organic semiconductors, the selection of the appropriate core plays a key role in the molecular packing and charge transport characteristics of the organic device. Four derivatives of carbazole that mainly differ in the extension of the π-conju...

Ammonia slip catalysts (ASC) are used downstream of the NH3-selective catalytic NOx reduction (SCR) system, to minimize ammonia from transport sector SCR units. The ASC may consist an active layer for control, a with oxidation functionality conversion, or combination thereof, either as individual layers single mixed layer. Mathematical models such systems involve flow and mass transfer in monol...

we study the history and recent developments in nonelementarymodel theory focusing on the framework of abstractelementary classes. we discuss the role of syntax and semanticsand the motivation to generalize first order model theory to nonelementaryframeworks and illuminate the study with concrete examplesof classes of models. this first part introduces the main conceps and philosophies anddiscu...

This study investigated the capability of a mathematical model in estimating the phosphor layer heat transfer of an LED system. The focus was on determining the temperature distribution based on light propagation in the phosphor layer. The mathematical model was built upon past work by Kang et al. and solved numerically with heat generation and transfer incorporated into the model. The model li...

Abstract The effects of different dehydration temperature (35, 50 and 70 °C) carrot slice thickness (3, 6, 9 mm), at the constant (hot) air speed mass load, on moisture ratio ( MR ) drying DR in thin layer convective process were investigated. mathematical models Modified Page, Logarithmic, Two-term (for ), Gauss model most appropriate. Based obtained results for R 2 RSME , optimal parameters s...

the first purpose of this study is to present an alternative robust model in order to describe ruminal degradation kinetics of forages and to minimize the fitting problems. for this purpose, the korkmaz-uckardes (ku) model, which has a logarithmic structure, was developed. the second purpose of this study is to estimate, by using the korkmaz-uckardes (ku)model, the parameters tp (the time to pr...

for non-darcy flow in submerged porous media a one- dimensional mathematical model has been developed. rockfill detention dams are one of these porous media that comprised of relatively homogenous coarse rockfill which can be used to reduce flood discharge and hydrograph peak. in this research the focus was on the rockfill detention dams in submerged condition. the existence of overtopping rock...

In this research work, silica nano-porous thin films were deposited on glass substrates by layer by layer method. The thin films were calcinated at various calcination temperatures (200, 300, 400, and 500 °C). The morphology, surface characteristics, surface roughness and hydrophilic properties of the thin films were investigated by field emission scanning electron microscopy, attenuated total ...
