Dysphagia, a widely suffered disease mainly by seniors, causes food swallowing-related issues such as choking, aspiration, aspiration pneumonia, and even death. Designing special diets thickened fluids (e.g. water, milk, soups, juices) is an essential means of managing swallowing problems for people with dysphagia. This review discusses intrinsic influencing factors surface tension, viscosity, ...

In the Molten Salt Reactor, freeze plug is one of components that plays an important role when a reactor accident occurs. designing plug, selection constituent material based on ability to spread heat. Therefore, studies are needed provide information regarding design. The modified melting process has been simulated using Moving Particle Semi-Implicit method. This study aims observe behavior ph...

We develop in this paper a moving mesh spectral method for the phase-field model of twophase flows with non-periodic boundary conditions. The method is based on a variational moving mesh PDE for the phase function, coupled with efficient semi-implicit treatments for advancing the mesh function, the phase function and the velocity and pressure in a decoupled manner. Ample numerical results are p...

In conclusion, I may point out that Theorem II may be generalized by a weakening of the hypothesis (d) . (1) In the first place, continuity of [a, g] f with respect to the pair of variables a, /3 may be replaced by upper semi-continuity . This generalization requires no change in the proof . (2) This continuity (or upper semi-continuity) with respect to (a, /3) is used only to show that the set...

The solvability in Sobolev spaces is proved for divergence form second order elliptic equations in the whole space, a half space, and a bounded Lipschitz domain. For equations in the whole space or a half space, the leading coefficients a are assumed to be measurable in one direction and have small BMO semi-norms in the other directions. For equations in a bounded domain, additionally we assume...

This paper examines the effectiveness of explicit and implicit foreign exchange (FX) interventions in New Zealand: one secret spot market intervention two – a regular Monetary Policy Statement (MPS) an unexpected oral by Reserve Bank Zealand (RBNZ) governor addressing Dollar (NZD). By applying synthetic control methodology to unique dataset RBNZ interventions, we construct counterfactual estima...

The notion of semi-BCI algebras is introduced and some of its properties are investigated. This algebra is another generalization for BCI-algebras. It arises from the “intervalization” of BCI algebras. Semi-BCI have a similar structure to Pseudo-BCI algebras however they are not the same. In this paper we also provide an investigation on the similarity between these classes of algebras by showi...

We introduce and study some operational quantities associated to a space ideal A. These quantities are used to define generalized semi-Fredholm operators associated to A, and the corresponding perturbation classes which extend the strictly singular and strictly cosingular operators, and we study the generalized Fredholm theory obtained in this way. Finally we present some examples and show that...
