We determine the different possible space-time metrics inside an infinite rotating hollow cylinder with given energy density and longitudinal and azimuthal stresses, the metric outside the cylinder being chosen of the spinning cosmic string type. The solutions we obtain for various domains of values of the cylinder parameters include a space-time with topologically Euclidean spatial sections, a...

We discuss gravitomagnetism in connection with rotating cylindrical systems. In particular, the gravitomagnetic clock effect is investigated for the exterior vacuum field of an infinite rotating cylinder. The dependence of the clock effect on the Weyl parameters of the stationary Lewis metric is determined. We illustrate our results by means of the van Stockum spacetime. PACS numbers: 04.20.Cv;...

ABSTRACT Objectives: This study aims to investigate the prevalence of extraglandular manifestations (EGM) in a group of Norwegian patients suffering from primary Sjögren’s syndrome (pSS) and compare these findings with the literature. Material and methods: Fifty-three female patients (mean age 60±11.6 years; range 33 to 85 years) ful...

The design and optimization of electronics cooling systems is not easily accomplished through conventional analysis tools such as analytical and numerical methods. The enhancement in thermal performance causes a rise in pressure drop, which increases the load of pumping power. Consequently, the overall assessment of cooling system requires a trade-off between thermal performance and pressure dr...

Dynamic random-dot displays representing a rotating cylinder were used to investigate surface interpolation in the perception of structure-from-motion (SFM) in humans. Surface interpolation refers to a process in which a complete surface in depth is reconstructed from the object depth values extracted at the stimulus features. Surface interpolation will assign depth values even in parts of the ...

following recent works of several authors like huilgol, bhattacharya etd. and javadpour et al., this paper is to contribute further to the literature of axial flow in a rotational coaxial rheometer. we consider axial flow of herschel bulkley mode1 between two concentric cylinders with the inner one rotating, while the outer cylinder is held stationary. an attempt has been made to direct the ana...

The interaction between an initially laminar boundary layer developed spatially on a flat plate under the influence of vortex shedding induced from a rotating circular cylinder has been simulated numerically. The rotational speed of the cylinder is varied to generate the vortex shedding of different intensities. Also the flat plate is kept at different positions from the cylinder. Due to asymme...

PURPOSE To determine the refractive cylinder effect of rotating a toric intraocular lens (IOL) and identify the sources of refractive astigmatic surprise after toric IOL implantation. SETTING Private practice, Melbourne, Australia. DESIGN Experimental study. METHODS Vergence formulas using a standard reduced eye model were used to bring all lens powers to the corneal plane. Double-angle v...

The flow of dilute suspensions in a rotating filter separator consisting of a rigid, porous, polyethylene cylindrical filter rotating within an outer cylindrical shell was studied using laser-based velocity measurement techniques. The centrifugal instability of the Taylor–Couette flow results in toroidal vortices stacked in the annulus. The velocity field of the particles is very similar to tha...
