the fluid flow and heat transfer in a three-dimensional microchannel filled with al2o3- water nanofluid is numerically investigated. the hybrid scheme is used to discretize the convection terms and simpler algorithm is adopted to couple the velocity and pressure field in the momentum equations. the thermal and flow fields were analyzed using different volume fractions of nanoparticles and diffe...

Figure 1: Course of the common, deep (blue) and superficial peroneal nerve, sites of stimulation for motor nerve conduction studies are shown by green discs. Figure 1 Textbooks of neurology are just like cookery or gardening books. It is all so easy on paper. With a good working knowledge of neurological anatomy, it seems, almost any problem can be precisely localised. A couple of of hours yomp...

The aim of the project is to detect and quantify the egect of sea state on the wind stress. An overview of the basic theory of wind stress in the surface layer is provided, along with a more detailed description of the inertial dissipation method which is used to obtain stress estimates for this study. Wind stress measurements by other researchers illustrate the large scatter which seems to be ...

existence of capacity drop phenomenon, as the difference between pre-queue and queue discharge flow rates, has been one of the controversial concepts of traffic engineering. several researches have focused on capacity drop existence and also its estimation issues. this paper aims to estimate capacity drop based not only on a comparison between breakdown and queue discharge flow rates, but also ...

background: hyperbilirubinemia is considered one of the most prevalent problems in newborns. phototherapy, exchange transfusion, and herbal medicine are common therapeutic approaches for preventing any neurologic damage in infants with neonatal jaundice. however, herbal medicine is less commonly used. aim: this study aimed to investigate the effect of bilineaster drop on neonatal hyperbilirubin...

This paper presents an algorithm for rapidly creating and rendering soft shadows on a plane. It has the advantages of rapid generation on current hardware, as well as high quality and a realistic feel on a perceptual level. The algorithm renders the soft shadow to a texture. It begins with a hard drop shadow, then uses the object’s silhouette edges to generate penumbrae in a single pass. Though...

This paper uses a labor supply model that incorporates waiting for health care to derive an empirical specification for sick leave and to estimate the impact of waiting for health care on the duration of sick leave. In the estimations, we use the 2002 sample of the RFV-LS register database, supplemented with information from questionnaires. The results indicate that almost all waiting for healt...
