In this paper, we investigate rarefied jet gas flows out of a two-dimensional slit and impinges on a flat plate which is set vertically to the plume flow direction. With a relation between velocity-directions and geometry-positions, we obtain several analytical collisionless flow property distributions in front of the plate. This study further provides near-plate collisionless flow properties i...

In this study, we consider a manufacturer that has strategically decided to outsource the company specific reverse logistics (RL) activities to a third-party logistics (3PL) service provider. Given the locations of the collection centers and reprocessing facilities, the RL network design of the 3PL involves finding the number and places of the test centers under supply uncertainty associated wi...

The simulation of large-scale inter-domain networks is useful for various aspects of network planning and management. It is also a challenge due to its scalability problems, and the often incomplete knowledge about the network in question. Automatic configuration of the simulator based on network measurements may also be required. None of the many proposed approaches to network simulation are s...

The paper is based on the analytical considerations established by Abate [1] and Taub-Schilling [2] notions concerning minimization of total quantization noise and maximization of dynamic range DR of adaptive delta modulations (ADM). Both the analytical and simulation dependences of DR in the function of maximum sampling frequency fs max or maximum quantization step size ∆max have been found by...

Introduction: Functional Near-Infrared Spectroscopy (fNIRS) is an imaging method in which light source and detector are installed on the head; consequently, re-emission of light from human skin contains information about cerebral hemodynamic alteration. The spatial probability distribution profile of photons penetrating tissue at a source spot, scattering into the tissue, and being released at ...

ABSTRACT We present an analytical model for the evolution of extended active galactic nuclei (AGNs) throughout their full lifecycle, including initial jet expansion, lobe formation, and eventual remnant phases. A particular focus our contribution is on early expansion phase, which traditionally not well captured in models. implement this within Radio AGN Semi-Analytic Environments (RAiSE) frame...
