The aim of this work is to provide a physical model to relate the polarizability per unit cell of oligomers to that of their corresponding infinite polymer chains. For this we propose an extrapolation method for the polarizability per unit cell of oligomers by fitting them to a physical model describing the dielectric properties of polymer chains. This physical model is based on the concept of ...

To evaluate the effect of acupuncture on the severity of withdrawal reaction during rapid opiate detoxification (ROD), forty adult male subjects addicted to opioids and scheduled for ROD by naloxone were randomly divided into acupuncture and control groups. In the acupuncture group during three consecutive days immediately before induction of ROD, body acupuncture was performed while in the con...

the main purpose of this study is to perform numerical simulation of nanofluids as the coolant in vver-440 fuel rod bundle. the fuel rod bundle contains 60 fuel rods with length of 960 mm and 4 spacer grids. in vver-440 fuel rod bundle the coolant fluid (water) is in high pressure and temperature condition. in the present thermo-hydraulic simulation, water-al2o3 nanofluids containing various vo...

a group g is said to be a (pf)c-group or to have polycyclic-by-finite conjugacy classes, if g/c_{g}(x^{g}) is a polycyclic-by-finite group for all xin g. this is a generalization of the familiar property of being an fc-group. de falco et al. (respectively, de giovanni and trombetti) studied groups whose proper subgroups of infinite rank have finite (respectively, polycyclic) conjugacy classes. ...

A square splittered and unsplittered rod is placed in a turbulent boundary layer developed over a flat plate. The effect of the resulting disturbances on the local heat transfer coefficient is then studied. In both cases the square rod modifies the flow structure inside the boundary layer. As a result, a stagnation point, a jet and wake area are generated around the square rod, each making a co...

Nano HA rod was synthesized by precipitation method using Ca(NO3)24H2O and (NH4)2HPO4 as starting materials and ammonia solution as an agent for pH adjustment. The Ca/P molar ratio was maintained at 1.67. Then, the effect of different pH (4, 6, 8, 10, 11), different surfactants and different times for dialyses on nano HA rod were studied in this study. The samples were characterized by differen...

the concept of “infinite essence” that is both philosophically and theologically important, has passed many different evolutions in western history of thought. presocratics has evaluated it in two different ways. anaximender and melissus agree that the principle substance is infinite and divine, but neither absolutly transcendent nor anthropomorphic. the infinite is the fusis in its substantial...

Strictly positive operators are often encountered in applications, e.g., vibrational modes and associated energies of a mechanical system (e.g., a vibrating rod or plate), Hamiltonian operators for quantum mechanical systems (the eigenvalues correspond to energies). In these cases, the Hilbert space H of concern is infinite dimensional and therefore difficult to work with practically. A goal of...
