[Abstract] MSC NASTRAN User Defined Services (UDS) and PATRAN were applied to perform load-displacement analysis of ACCC, a new type of power cable with hybrid composites reinforced core. PATRAN was used to model the geometry of the hybrid composites core, and MSC NASTRAN was implemented to analyze the load-displacement behavior of the structure. MSC NASTRAN UDS subroutine UMAT was used to prov...

In this work we discuss the technique of using molecular gas kinematics (or the kinematics of any dynamically cold tracer) to estimate black hole masses. We present a figure of merit that will be useful in defining future observational campaigns, and discuss its implications. We show that, in principle, one can estimate black-hole masses using data that only resolve scales ≈2 times the formal b...

During years, many new types of association rules have been found and well studied ([11], [10], [2], [4]). This work defines new type of association rules based on generalization of definitions of some existing rule types. We also study here its theoretical features; namely e.g. non-symmetricity, monoty, quasi-transitivity. Moreover, the paper provides a method for visualizing such rules using ...

We incorporate two knowledge discovery techniques, clustering and association-rule mining, into a fruitful exploratory tool for the discovery of spatio-temporal patterns. This tool is an autonomous pattern detector to reveal plausible cause-effect associations between layers of point and area data. We present two methods for this exploratory analysis and we detail algorithms to effectively expl...

We present a detailed study of a molecular outflow feature in the nearby starburst galaxy NGC 253 using ALMA. We find that this feature is clearly associated with the edge of NGC 253ʼs prominent ionized outflow, has a projected length of ∼300 pc, with a width of ∼50 pc, and a velocity dispersion of ∼40 km s, which isconsistent with an ejection from the disk about 1 Myr ago. The kinematics of t...

Observations of the peculiar type Ia SN 1991bg in NGC 4374 collected at ESO–La Silla and Asiago are presented and discussed. The photometric coverage extends for 530 days and the spectroscopy for the first seven months after the explosion. The broad– band light curves in the early months have a narrower peak and a luminosity decline faster than other SNIa (14.6 and 11.7 mag×(100d) in B and V re...

Taiwan’s rapid economic growth with increasing personal income leads increasing numbers of young unmarried people to eat out, and shopping at convenience stores for food is indispensable to the lives of these people. Thus, it is an essential issue for convenience store owners to know how to accurately market appropriate products and to choose effective endorsers for brands or products in order ...

Background: To evaluate the association between pre/post-procedural high sensitive C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) level and hs-CRP difference, and the risk of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) or new diffusion-weighted MRI lesions after carotid angioplasty and stenting (CAS). Methods: In this study, conducted in 2016 in Shiraz (Iran), patients who underwent diagnostic angiography and CAS...
