this paper presents numerical calculations for podded propulsion system using vortex theory and potential panel method. the method discretizes the surface boundary of the body (propeller +pod+strut) and obtained the vortex and propeller surface and potential on strut and pod. a model propeller and strut are considered for these calculations and the results of pressure distribution, flow field a...

We present a framework for characterizing spike (and spiketrain) synchrony in parallel neuronal spike trains that is based on identifying spikes with what we call influence maps: real-valued functions describing an influence region around the corresponding spike times within which possibly graded synchrony with other spikes is defined. We formalize two models of synchrony in this framework: the...

BACKGROUND The Body Surface Potential Map (BSPM) is an electrocardiographic method, for recording and displaying the electrical activity of the heart, from a spatial perspective. The BSPM has been deemed more accurate for assessing certain cardiac pathologies when compared to the 12-lead ECG. Nevertheless, the 12-lead ECG remains the most popular ECG acquisition method for non-invasively assess...

Predicting the impact of land cover and climate change on hydrologic responses using modeling tools are essential in understanding the movement and pattern of hydrologic processes within the watershed. The paper provided potential implications of land conversions and climate change scenarios on the hydrologic processes of Muleta watershed using soil and water assessment tool model. Model inputs...

The Karhunen-Loeve technique of random process representation was investigated as a method of quantitatively characterizing body surface potential maps. One hundred ninety-two lead body surface potential maps from 124 normal subjects and 97 patients with independently documented heart disease were used in the study. Each map frame in QRS and ST-T of 34 maps in a test set was represented as a li...
