While its classical model is relatively simple, friction actually depends on both the interface properties of interacting surfaces and on the dynamics of the system containing them. At a microscopic level, the true contact area changes as the surfaces move relative to each other. Thus at a macroscopic level, total friction and normal forces are time-dependent phenomena. This paper introduces a ...

A New Model for Image-based Humanities Computing. (August 2008) Jacob Hohmann Brown, B.A., University of Dallas Chair of Advisory Committee: Dr. Maura Ives Image-based humanities computing, the computer-assisted study of digitallyrepresented “objects or artifacts of cultural heritage,” is an increasingly popular yet “established practice” located at the most recent intersections of humanities s...

The study on the effects of food and rearing density hybrid grouper (♂ E. lanceolatus × ♀ fuscoguttatus) from fry stage to fingerling was conducted at Nha Trang Mariculture Research Development Center (Research Institute for Aquaculture No. 3) March May 2018 assess live fish survival rate, growth in length, level coefficient CVL deformative rate. showed that feeding rotifers were better than oy...

A new numerical algorithm using quintic splines is developed and analyzed: quintic spline Taylor-series expansion (QSTSE). QSTSE is an Eulerian #ux-based scheme that uses quintic splines to compute space derivatives and Taylor series expansion to march in time. The new scheme is strictly mass conservative and positive de"nite while maintaining high peak retention. The new algorithm is compared ...
