we derive error estimates in the appropriate norms, for the streamlinediffusion (sd) finite element methods for steady state, energy dependent,fermi equation in three space dimensions. these estimates yield optimal convergencerates due to the maximal available regularity of the exact solution.high order sd method together with implicit integration are used. the formulationis strongly consistent...

Emission of fast energetic nucleons in intermediate energy nuclear collisions is investigated in the framework of two specific non-equilibrium models. In the lower energy region considered, the Fermi Jet mechanism dominates whereas results in the higher energy region are suggestive of emission from a hot dense source formed inside cold nuclear matter.

The propagation of arbitrary amplitude ion-acoustic (IA) solitary waves (SWs) is studied in unmagnetized, collisionless, homogeneous electron-positron-ion (e-p-i) plasmas with finite temperature degeneracy both electrons and positrons. Starting from a set fluid equations for classical ions Fermi-Dirac distribution degenerate positrons, linear dispersion relation IA derived. It seen that the wav...

BACKGROUND International Normalized Ratios (INRs) for prothrombin time obtained with the CoaguChek Mini and TAS (RapidPointCoag) PT-NC systems are markedly different and also differ from the "true" INR. There is therefore a need for local quality assessment (QA) of the two systems. METHODS A set of 60 lyophilized artificially depleted and 60 lyophilized coumarin plasmas were tested at 10 cent...
