We examine the local dynamics of nonisothermal viscous ows in the neighborhood of the constant equilibria using the thermomechanically consistent constrained theory for materials with prescribed temperature-dependent density developed by Cao et al. (1996). We discover that the linearized growth rate of small length scale, innnitesimal disturbances near the equilibria is proportional to the reci...

In the title hydrated mol-ecular salt, 2C5H8N3O(+)·SO4 (2-)·H2O, the components are linked by N-H⋯Os and Ow-H⋯Os (s = sulphate, w = water) hydrogen bonds, generating a layer by a+b+c and 2a-b translations. The cations are arranged nearly in parallel and show displaced π-π stacking centroid-centroid distance = 4.661 (2) Å between adjacent layers.

Objectives: To associate the maternal perception of child’s weight (MPCW) and nutritional status. describe lifestyle behavior problems (CLBPs) self-efficacy (SE) to deal with them, as well verify differences according children without overweight-obesity (OW-OB) MPCW. Material methods: There was participation 274 dyads (mother-preschool child). MPCW assessed through words images. The mothers ans...

We present a novel theory that immigrants facilitate innovation and entrepreneurship by being willing able to invest in new skills. Immigrants whose human capital is not immediately transferable the host country face lower opportunity costs of investing skills or methods will be more exible their investments than observationally equivalent natives. Areas with large numbers may therefore lead in...

The data-farm template is a software component for the Pipelined Processor Farm (PPF) software architecture. The PPF data-farm template is a exible, semi-manual method of prototyping continuous-ow applications. The template design originates in a set of abstract design principles. The PPF template is instrumented to provide either support for logic debugging at an intermediate development level...

This work outlines a exible framework for optimizing and deploying distributed queries in wide area networks. The database eld has developed very powerful techniques for nding eÆcient execution plans for declaratively speci ed queries. However, applying these optimization techniques in the setting of distributed information management requires centralized knowledge of the entire network and ass...

This paper introduces deenition and enactment models to characterize workkows. The proposed knowledge model provides concepts for modeling activities, data used by such activities, agents, and ordering operators and synchronization modes used for specifying activities dependencies. The behavior model provides dimensions that characterize workkow enactment. Both models are currently implemented ...

In order to realize a more exible structure and achieve a richer set of capabilities in the adaptive control of QoS for distributed multimedia systems, this paper seeks to complement the conventionally used passive data passing paradigm with the newer active program passing approach. By timely delegating and redelegating adaptation programs to encapsulate desired feedback control intelligence a...

Curves in space are diicult to perceive and analyze, especially when they form dense sets as in typical 3D ow and volume deformation applications. We propose a technique that exposes essential properties of space curves by attaching an appropriate moving coordinate frame to each point, reexpressing that moving frame as a unit quaternion, and supporting interaction with the resulting quaternion ...

Knowing the worst case execution times (WCETs) for programs are crucial for the design and veri cation of real-time systems. Modern hardware architectures utilize pipelined execution and cache memory for improved performance. We extend an existing execution time analysis technique, the Implicit Path Enumeration Technique (IPET), to consider these and other modern hardware architecture features....
