We have obtained infrared photometry for the soft x-ray transient GU Mus. We present J and Ks band light curves modeled with WD98, the newest version of the Wilson-Devinney light curve modeling code. Using detailed models for the expected ellipsoidal variations due to the non-spherical secondary star, we show that the most likely value for the orbital inclination is 54±1.5. This inclination ang...

this paper presents results of a numerical study of mixed convection and entropy generation of cu–water nanofluid in a square ventilating cavity at different inclination angles. except a piece of bottom wall with a uniform heat flux, all of the cavity walls are insulated. the inlet port is placed at the bottom of the left wall and the outlet port is positioned at the top of the right wall. entr...

BACKGROUND The correlations between the sagittal jaw position and the cranio-cervical inclination are described in literature. Only few studies focus on the sagittal jaw position and the body posture using valid and objective orthopaedic examination methods. The aim of this study was to test the hypothesis that patients with malocclusions reveal significant differences in body posture compared ...

We propose a position and inclination controlling method for a passive object using an active plate. Previously, we proposed a novel manipulation scheme that can control a passive object’s orientation using an active plate. In the work, stable plate cyclic motion is designed and inclination control of the object is realized. However, the object’s position is not considered, so there is a possib...

We numerically integrated the orbits of 1458 particles in the region of the classical Kuiper belt (41 AU a 47 AU) to explore the role of dynamical instabilities in sculpting the inclination distribution of the classical Kuiper belt objects (KBOs). We find that the selective removal of low-inclination objects by overlapping secular resonances ( 17 and 18) acts to raise the mean inclination of th...
