because of its kinetic nature and computational advantages, the lattice boltzmann method (lbm) has been well accepted as a useful tool to simulate micro-scale flows. the slip boundary model plays a crucial role in the accuracy of solutions for micro-channel flow simulations. the most used slip boundary condition is the maxwell slip model. the results of maxwell slip model are affected by the ac...

This paper considers the reliable multi-product multi-vehicle multi-type link logistics network design problem (RMLNDP) with system disruptions, which is concerned with facilities locating, transshipment links constructing, and also allocating them to the customers in order to satisfy their demand on minimum expected total cost (including locating costs, link constructing costs, and also expect...

physical design of the emergency department (ed) has an important effect on its role and function. to date, no guidelines have been introduced to set the standards for the construction of eds in iran. in this study we aim to devise an easy-to-use tool based on the available literature and expert opinion for the quick and effective assessment of eds in regards to their physical design. for this ...

driven precast reinforced concrete piles (dprcp) is extensively used as a foundation for bridges constructed over canals in egypt in order to avoid the diversion of water canals. the objectives of this research include identifying the main activities of dprcp execution in the bridge-construction industry in egypt and the risk factors affecting them. in addition, assessment of the effects of the...

the present report describes orthodontic treatment of a patient with skeletal class iii malocclusion and maxillary hypoplasia. to correct the retrusive maxilla, the treatment plan included an intra-oral removable device. it had the advantages of good patient cooperation, ease of construction and effective modification. forward growth of the maxilla, minimal downward and backward rotation of the...

Previous studies have found that subjects can increase the velocity of accommodation using visual exercises such as pencil push ups, flippers, Brock strings and the like and myriad papers have shown improvement in accommodation facility (speed) and sufficiency (amplitude) using subjective tests following vision training but few have objectively measured accommodation before and after training i...

For a long time basic accommodation capacities represented the dominant type of accommodation in tourist offer, while at the same time complementary accommodation capacities were neglected. However, recently there has been a growing interest for complementary, substitute types of tourist accommodation, both in the Republic of Croatia and in Dubrovnik, where since 2000 a significant increase of ...

We present a relational schema that stores the computations of a shared query evaluation plan, and tools that search the common computations between new queries and the schema, which are the two essential parts of the Incremental Multiple Query Optimization (IMQO) framework we proposed to allow the efficient construction of the optimal evaluation plan for multiple con-
