Abstract—Heat transfer from two cam shape cylinder in tandem arrangement had been studied numerically. The distance between the centers of cylinders (L) is allowed to vary to change the longitudinal pitch ratio (L/Deq). The equivalent diameter of the cylinder (Deq) is 27.6 mm and longitudinal pitch ratio varies in range 2<L/Deq<6. The Reynolds number based on equivalent circular cylinder are wi...

In this paper we show that Janus colloids, which are spherical particles with hybrid anchoring conditions, have preferable orientations in cholesteric media depending on the cholesteric wave vector. Simulations reveal that the tilt angle of a particle varies greatly with variation of the particle diameter to the cholesteric pitch ratio, which makes it possible to stabilize the appropriate parti...

RATIONALE AND OBJECTIVES To evaluate the potential of high-pitch, dual-source computed tomography (DSCT) for compensation of motion artifacts. MATERIALS AND METHODS Motion artifacts were created using a moving chest/cardiac phantom with integrated stents at different velocities (from 0 to 4-6 cm/s) parallel (z direction), transverse (x direction), and diagonal (x and z direction combined) to ...

Recently, usable speech criteria [1] are proposed to extract minimally corrupted speech for speaker identification (SID) in co-channel speech. In this paper, we propose a new usable speech extraction method to improve the SID performance under the co-channel situation based on the pitch information obtained from a robust multi-pitch tracking algorithm [2]. The idea is to retain the speech segme...

We have introduced a new approach of acoustical characterization of the level tones of a tone language [1] and tested it with Cantonese [2]. To examine the validity of any perceptual account by analysing its correlation with acoustic data, our new approach requires it to be expressed in terms of the pitch distance ratios between the successive levels instead of representing the pitch levels dir...
