Simple, self-similar, analytic solutions of 1 + 1 dimensional relativistic hydrodynamics are presented, generalizing Bjorken’s solution to inhomogeneous rapidity distribution.

We determine the relationship between the depolarization properties of inhomogeneous particles and the statistical parameters of their internal refractive-index distributions. Our analysis demonstrates that the linear depolarization ratio of backscattered light by an inhomogeneous particle is approximately proportional to both the squared standard deviation and the squared correlation length of...

Temper rolling or skin pass rolling is one of cold rolling processes composed of a horizontal pass cold rolling mill stand. In this process, the thick strip is subjected to very light reduction (0.5–4%) in thickness in the presence of high friction amplitudes. One of the basic parameters of strip rolling processes is temper rolling force. A new rolling force model has been proposed for temper r...

This paper presents a novel and generic distributed swarm guidance algorithm using inhomogeneous Markov chains that guarantees superior performance over existing homogeneous Markov chain based algorithms, when the feedback of the current swarm distribution is available. The probabilistic swarm guidance using inhomogeneous Markov chain (PSG–IMC) algorithm guarantees sharper and faster convergenc...

Background: Polymer gel dosimetry is still the only dosimetry method for direct measuring of threedimensional dose distributions. MRI Polymer gel dosimeters are tissue equivalent and can act as a phantom material. In this study the obtained isodose maps with PAGAT polymer gel dosimeter were compared to those calculated with EGSnrs for singleshot irradiations of 8 and 18 mm collimators of...
