Trace element abundances in clinopyroxene (cpx) from cumulate xenoliths are used to characterize the nature of primitive magma-forming processes beneath the Aleutian island arc. Clinopyroxenes from deformed mafic and ultramafic xenoliths hosted in a Neogene-age mafic sill from Kanaga Island have widely varying trace element abundances (Sr=8–32, Y=2–64, Zr=2–38, Nd=0.65–16 ppm) that are generall...

the radiology diagnosis of primary hydatid disease of the kidney is possible when a renal mass is noted on the radiograph. part icula rly in the countries where this disease is prevalent. cha racteristic radiological signs, hydatiduria, eosinophili and specific examination such as casoni and weinberg tests are a ll helpful to assist the diagnosis. twelve cases of primary hydatid disease of the ...

We study the low Mach low Freude numbers limit in the compressible Navier-Stokes equations and the transport equation for evolution of an entropy variable – the potential temperature Θ. We consider the case of well-prepared initial data on ”flat” tours and Reynolds number tending to infinity, and the case of ill-prepared data on an infinite slab. In both cases, we show that the weak solutions t...

Taking t at random, uniformly from [0,T], we consider the kth moment, with respect to t, of random variable corresponding 2?th moment ?(1/2+ix) over interval x?(t,t+1], where ?(s) is Riemann zeta function. We call these ‘moments moments’ function, and present a conjecture for their asymptotics, when T??, integer k,?. This motivated by comparisons results moments characteristic polynomials unita...

A finite element method for computing viscous incompressible flows based on the gauge formulation introduced in [Weinan E, Liu J-G. Gauge method for viscous incompressible flows. Journal of Computational Physics (submitted)] is presented. This formulation replaces the pressure by a gauge variable. This new gauge variable is a numerical tool and differs from the standard gauge variable that aris...

The desire to know what the future holds is a powerful motivator in everyday life, but it is unknown how this desire is created by neurons in the brain. Here we show that when macaque monkeys are offered a water reward of variable magnitude, they seek advance information about its size. Furthermore, the same midbrain dopamine neurons that signal the expected amount of water also signal the expe...

A one-way hash function is an important cryptographic primitive for digital signatures and authentication. Recently much work has been done toward construction of other cryptographic algorithms (e.g., MACs) using hash functions. In particular, such algorithms would be easy to implement with existing codes of hash functions if they are used as a black box without modiication. In this paper we pr...

Ghost variables are assignable variables that appear in program annotations but do not correspond to physical entities. They are used to facilitate specification and verification, e.g., by using a ghost variable to count the number of iterations of a loop, and also to express extra-functional behaviours. In this paper we give a formal model of ghost variables and show how they can be eliminated...

Abstract. A method to numerically solve the Euler equations for fluids with general equations of state is presented. It is based on a formulation solving the conservation equations for either pressure primitive variables or entropy variables, instead of the commonly used conservation variables. We use a space-time discontinuous Galerkin finite-element discretization, which yields a highly local...
