Numerous experiments have been conducted on plunging Eppler 361 airfoil in a subsonic wind tunnel. The experimental tests involved measuring the surface pressure distribution over the airfoil at Re=1.5×105. The airfoil was equipped with Gurney flap(heights of 2.6, 3.3 and 5% chord) and plunged at 6cm amplitude. The unsteady aerodynamic loads were calculated from the surface pressure measurement...

wound healing in the skin depends upon the availability of appropriate trace metals as enzyme cofactors and structural components in tissue repair. the present study is a part of a series of experimental investigations to examine the influence of bentonite on skin wound healing. surgically induced skin wounds in 48 young adult male rats were exposed topically to bentonite (12 round wound and 12...

Distributed simulations require partitioning mechanisms to operate, and the best partitioning algorithms try to load-balance the partitions. Dynamic load-balancing, i.e. re-partitioning simulation environments at run-time, becomes essential when the load in the partitions change. In decentralised distributed simulation the information needed to dynamically load-balance seems difficult to collec...

Dynamic linking, as in Java and C#, allows users to execute the most recent versions of software without re-compilation or re-linking. Dynamic linking is guided by type names stored in the bytecode. In current dynamic linking schemes, these type names are hard-coded into the bytecode. Thus, the bytecode reflects the compilation environment that produced it. However, the compilation environment ...

UNLABELLED Both the standardized uptake value ratio (SUVR) and the Logan plot result in biased distribution volume ratios (DVRs) in ligand-receptor dynamic PET studies. The objective of this study was to use a recently developed relative equilibrium-based graphical (RE) plot method to improve and simplify the 2 commonly used methods for quantification of (11)C-Pittsburgh compound B ((11)C-PiB) ...

In this paper, we propose a prototype of a decision support system (DSS) that integrates a hybrid neighborhood search algorithm to solve the offline and online routing problems arising in courier service. In the dynamic operational environment of courier service, new customer orders and order cancellations continually arrive over time and thus disrupt the optimal routing schedule that was origi...

A system has dynamic adaptability if it can adapt itself to dynamically changing runtime environments. As open-ended distributed systems and mobile computing systems have spread widely, the need for software with dynamic adaptability increases. We propose a model of software with dynamic adaptability and the object-oriented re-ective language LEAD++ based on the model. The basic idea is that we...

A data stream management system executes a large number of continuous queries in parallel. As stream characteristics and query workload change over time, the plan initially installed for a continuous query may become inefficient. As a consequence, the query optimizer will re-optimize this plan based on the current statistics. The replacement of the running plan with a more efficient but semanti...

BACKGROUND The aim of this work is to validate the Dynamic Planning Module in terms of usability and acceptance in the treatment planning workflow. METHODS The Dynamic Planning Module was used for decision making whether a plan adaptation was necessary within one course of radiation therapy. The Module was also used for patients scheduled for re-irradiation to estimate the dose in the pretrea...
