The present paper was aimed to study the effects of variable thermal conductivity and heat generation on the flow of a viscous incompressible electrically conducting fluid in the presence of a uniform transverse magnetic field, thermal radiation, porous medium, mass transfer, and variable free stream near a stagnation point on a non-conducting stretching sheet. Equations of continuity, momentum...

With China’s progressive multi-level capital market strategic direction, as well the gradual implementation of mixed operation commercial banks. Derivative financial instruments will be further developed in This paper focuses on information disclosure derivative by banks, combined with standard off-balance-sheet international instruments, using index and project ratio to analyze listed banks ou...

The use of fancy graphics can have a mesmerizing effect on simulation novices and, as such, may blind the user to the actual capabilities and valid usages. The visualization of simulations are distinct from other computer graphic media because they are a representation of an abstract of reality (the model) as opposed to a representation of reality. This extended abstract provides examples of vi...

This is a “cheat sheet”, which means that it consists of information packaged in a concise and efficient way so that it can easily be used as a quick reference. The topic is ranks of elliptic curves, mostly over Q. This is a slightly revised version of the handout I wrote as a supplement to my survey talk “Distributions of Ranks of Elliptic Curves” at MSRI’s Connections for Women: Arithmetic St...

Geological evidence shows that the ice sheet and climate in Antarctica has changed considerably since the onset of glaciation around 34 million years ago. By analysing this evidence, important information concerning processes responsible for ice sheet growth and decay can be determined, which is vital for appreciating future changes in Antarctica. Geological records are diverse and their analys...

An optical insect counter (OIC) was designed and tested. The new system integrated a line-scan camera and a vertical light sheet along with data collection and image-processing software to count flying insects crossing a vertical plane defined by the light sheet. The system also discriminates each insect by its position along the horizontal length defined by the light sheet. The system was succ...

Publishers of sheet music are generally reluctant in distributing their content via the Internet. Although online sheet music distribution’s advantages are numerous the potential risk of Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) infringement, e.g. illegal online distributions, disables any innovation propensity. While active protection techniques only deter external risk factors, additional technology...

This paper proposes a method for a ubiquitous sensor to detect the position and direction on the Two-Dimensional Signal Transmission sheet (2DST sheet), and conducts several basic experiments. First, we propose the algorithm to code the position information on the 2DST sheet, and prove that the room-sized 2DST sheet is covered by using this algorithm. Next, we perform simulations of the electro...
