We establish new convergence results, in strong topologies, for solutions of the parabolic-parabolic Keller–Segel system in the plane, to the corresponding solutions of the parabolic-elliptic model, as a physical parameter goes to zero. Our main tools are suitable space-time estimates, implying the global existence of slowly decaying (in general, nonintegrable) solutions for these models, under...

Almost all of the 26 sporadic finite simple groups possess systems of subgroups which, in several ways, resemble the parabolic systems of the finite simple groups of Lie type. Many of these systems are catalogued in [RSt, RSm]. Those in [RSt] mirror more closely the minimal parabolic systems of a finite simple group of Lie type. In this paper the term minimal parabolic system will be used in a ...

Parabolic dish solar concentrators are very expensive devices with a cost of up to a half of the total cost of a solar power station. The specific technology of parabolic mirror manufacturing makes the decrease of the cost very problematic. Even in mass production the cost of a parabolic mirror is estimated as $500 per square meter. There is another way to make a parabolic concentrator by appro...

In the present work the efficiency of a solar parabolic trough has been investigated experimentality. parabolic trough solar collector constitute a proven source of thermal energy for industrial process heat and power genaration. The impact of  using the partially porous media in the absorber on the efficiency of PTC (parabolic trough collector) has been investigated. The porosity of copper foa...

Vibrations of plate and plate type structures made up of composite materials have a significant role in various industrial mechanical structures, aerospace industries and other engineering applications. The main aim of the present paper is to study the two dimensional thermal effect on the vibration of non-homogeneous square plate of variable thickness having clamped boundary. It is assumed tha...

due to some difficulties during seismic data acquisition, like natural obstacles (high voltage electricity cable, bad coupling of geophones with the ground) some of the traces cannot be recorded. since bad traces make the final stack unclear, usually bad traces go mute while processing. the final image of the earth’s crust is highly dependent of the quality and resolution of acquired data and m...

(See the article by El Sahly et al, on pages 703–12.) Influenza causes significant morbidity and mortality with an estimated 36 000 attributable deaths in the United States annually [1]. Human immunodefi-ciency virus (HIV) infection, specifically , advanced disease (CD4 count ,200 cells/lL), has been associated with excess morbidity and mortality [2]. With the use of combination antiretroviral ...
