We establish weak and strong convergence of Ishikawa type iterates of two pointwise asymptotic nonexpansive maps in a Hadamard space. For weak and strong convergence results, we drop “rate of convergence condition”, namely , to answer in the affirmative to the open question posed by Tan and Xu [1] even in a general setup.     1 1 n n c x      

This paper offers a standard message format for easy intercommunication over a network, between laptop performers within a drop-in improvisation session. It is based on OSC-like reserved namespaces, namely /test, /setup, /chat, /app, /user, /time, /documentation and /hardware. We detail the syntax of use and provide worked examples. The proposed standard offers interoperability, extensibility a...

BACKGROUND Drop-out is a major problem in weight loss studies. Although previous attrition research has examined some predictors of drop-out, theoretically grounded research on psychological predictors of drop-out from weight interventions has been lacking. PURPOSE To examine psychological predictors of drop-out from a weight reduction study in diabetes type 2 patients. METHOD A clinical tr...

The additional weight of combat and protective equipment carried by soldiers on the battlefield and insufficient adaptations to this weight may increase the risk of musculoskeletal injury. The objective of this study was to determine the effects of the additional weight of equipment on knee kinematics and vertical ground reaction forces (VGRF) during two-legged drop landings. We tested kinemati...

In this dissertation, we present a numerical method for tracking surfactants on an interface in multiphase flow, along with applications of the method to two physical problems. We also present an extension of our method to track charged droplets. Our method combines a traditional volume of fluid (VOF) method with marker tracking. After describing this method in detail, we present a series of te...

A better understanding of the hydrodynamics related to flooding conditions in distillation columns is required in order to provide optimised designs for new plants and plant retrofits. Current flooding prediction correlations are predominantly based on air/water systems and tend to diverge at high vapour capacities. In this work an experimental setup was designed and constructed to test the hyd...

Abstract In the manufacturing process of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) tubes, required thickness and weight depend on extruder flow rate. The setup can be very time-consuming inefficient since it requires adjusting screw rotational speed by trial error, as relation between rate is not known a priori. Furthermore, also affected material properties, melt temperature, pressure drop in die. Direct measu...
