Using the Lennard-Jones (12-6) potential, a new equation of state is obtained that can predict properties of both gases and liquids relatively well. This equation of state is given as (Z-a)V2=(A/V2)-B, where Z is the compressibility factor, A and B are constants, and a is an adjustable parameter that depends on the temperature, volume and the nature of the fluid, and i...

Density and Ultrasonic velocity Sucrose in 1M NaCl at 298.15K, 303.15K, 308.15K and 313.15K have been measured. Various ultrasonic and solution parameters such as adiabatic compressibility, change and relative change in adiabatic compressibility, acoustic impedance, available volume and free length have been calculated using these data. The present investigation has been used to exploit the pos...

Direct numerical simulation of turbulent homogeneous shear ow is performed in order to clarify compressibility e ects on the turbulence growth in the ow. The two Mach numbers relevant to homogeneous shear ow are the turbulent Mach number Mt and the gradient Mach number Mg . Two series of simulations are performed where the initial values of Mg and Mt are increased separately. The growth rate of...

We introduce the concept of information compressibility, KI , which measures the relative change of number of available microstates of an open system in response to an energy variation. We then prove that at the time in which the system reaches a steady state, the second and third time derivatives of the information entropy are proportional to the corresponding time derivatives of the energy, t...

BACKGROUND The risk of post-thrombotic syndrome and pulmonary embolism can be increased if there is failure to diagnose deep venous thrombosis (DVT) promptly. Emergency physicians (EPs) need a quick and readily available test to diagnose, treat and help them decide whether to discharge or admit DVT patients in a timely manner. The aim of this study was to investigate the value of the non-compre...

A novel stochastic fluid model is proposed with a nonideal structure factor consistent with compressibility, and adjustable transport coefficients. This stochastic hard-sphere dynamics (SHSD) algorithm is a modification of the direct simulation Monte Carlo algorithm and has several computational advantages over event-driven hard-sphere molecular dynamics. Surprisingly, SHSD results in an equati...

We apply the differential formulation of the generalized effective liquid approximation to the study of hard-sphere and hard-disk freezing. We show that the thermodynamic properties of the solid phase are rather insensitive to the compressibility factor of the Quid phase used to map the solid onto the effective liquid. The solid-Quid coexistence data instead are quite dependent on the equation ...

High force density, compact form factor and muscle like compliance properties makes pneumatics actuators quite desirable for robotic applications. However, the compressibility of the air not only throttles their bandwidth but also makes them harder to control. In this work, we leverage online trajectory optimization techniques to design high performance controllers for pneumatic actuators of AD...

This paper contains the results for the FastSum system and a simple baseline system for the TAC 2009 main task – update summarization –. For the pilot task of Automatically Evaluating Summaries of Peers (AESOP), we present two novel metrics. The first metric called ContextChain is an extension of a recently proposed metric AutoSummENG that is based on comparing n-gram graphs of the model summar...
