Elucidating the molecular details of qE (energy quenching) induction in higher plants has proven to be a major challenge. Identification of qE mutants has provided initial information on functional elements involved in the qE mechanism; furthermore, investigations on isolated pigment-protein complexes and analysis in vivo and in vitro by sophisticated spectroscopic methods have been used for th...

We study the porous medium equation   = , 0 < < , > m t x t  0 t xx . We prove finite time quenching for the solution at the boundary . We also estabu u with a singular boundary condition       0, = 0, m x u t u   = 0 x lish the quenching rate and asymptotic behavior on the quenching point.

Title of Document: Flame Extinction and Air Vitiation Effects In FDS In Poorly Ventilated Compartment Fires Zhixin Hu, Master Thesis, 2005 Directed by: Arnaud Trouvé, Associate Professor Department of Fire Protection Abstract: Compartment fires with different ventilation conditions exhibit different dynamical behaviors, ranging from steady fuel-limited fires to unsteady airlimited fires. Numeri...
