A new simple analytical model for prediction of cooling rate in the solidification process based on the local heat flux density extracted during solidification is introduced. In the modeling procedure, a solidifying control volume is considered in the mushy zone in which a heat balance equation is used to derive the present model. As the local heat flux density is a measurable parameter, the pr...

PURPOSE This study evaluates the extent to which bilingual children produce the same or overlapping responses on tasks assessing semantic skills in each of their languages and whether classification analysis based on monolingual or conceptual scoring can accurately classify the semantic development of typically developing (TD) bilingual children. METHOD In Study 1, 55 TD children (ages 4;0 [y...

i read with interest the papers written by peyghambari et al (2008) and niknafs et al   nd   et al   et al   et al   et al   et al   et al   et al   (1994) did not observe any   advantage in the pregnancy rates when adding estrogen+progesterone at luteal phase in patients undergoing ivf (6). in conclusion, the mechanism of luteal phase support in assisted reproduction is complex and a controver...

The new species is a member of an apparently monophyletic group within the genus that includes R. flexile, R. walga, R. himanturi, R. burgeri, R. euzeti, R. hawaiiensis, R. urobatidium, R. paratrygoni, R. ditesticulum, R. tetralobatum, R. margaritense, R. biorchidum, and R. spinicephalum. All of these species have bothridia with medial longitudinal septa, a constriction at mid-bothridium, and, ...

E-Companion of “Asset Pricing with Spatial Interaction” by Steven Kou, Xianhua Peng, and Haowen Zhong The E-Companion is organized as follows. Section EC.1 presents the mean-variance analysis with spatial interaction. Section EC.2 gives the proof of the S-CAPM theorem when there is a risk-free asset and when there is no risk free asset. The proof of the S-APT theorems is given in Section EC.3. ...

This paper presents a new model of equivalent modulus derived from the Repeated Load CBR (RL-CBR) test without strain gauge. This model is an updated version of Araya et al. model (2011), the update consists of using the vertical strain as weighting factor instead of vertical displacement in the mean vertical and horizontal stresses calculation. The accuracy of equivalent modulus was improved b...
