A mathematical model of a cracked rotor and an asymmetric rotor with two disks representing a turbine and a generator is uti­ lized to study the vibrations due to imbalance and side load. Nonlinearities typically related with a “breathing” crack are included using a Mayes steering function. Numerical simulations demonstrate how the variations of rotor parameters affect the vibration response an...

in this paper, we study the effects of hall and ion-slip currents on the steady magneto-micropolar of a viscous incompressible and electrically conducting fluid over a horizontal plate by taking in to account the viscous dissipation effects. by means of similarity solutions, deviation of fundamental equations on the assumption of small magnetic reynolds number are solved numerically by using qu...

If a billiard ball is fired from one focus of an elliptical table, its trajectory will pass alternately through the two foci of the table and will quickly become indistinguishable from a repeated tracing of the major axis of the table. In 3-dimensions, an ellipsoid of revolution has focusing properties similar to those of an ellipse. Frantz [1] has used this fact, together with geometrical opti...

Transition metal dichalcogenides with nontrivial band structures exhibit various fascinating physical properties and have sparked intensively research interest. Here, we performed systematic magnetotransport measurements on mechanical exfoliation prepared ZrTe2 nanoplates. We revealed that the negative longitudinal magnetoresistivity observed at high field region in presence of parallel electri...

This article presents a perishable (s; S) inventory system under continuous review at a service facility in which a waiting hall for customers is of nite size M. The arrival instants of customers to the service station constitutes a Poisson process. The life time of each items is assumed to be exponential. All arriving customers demand the rst "essential" service, whereas only some of them dema...

We discuss the implications of the recent upward revision of the LMC microlensing rate by the MACHO Collaboration. We conclude: (i) A good case for the existence of baryonic dark matter in the halo has been made; (ii) The case for the existence of cold dark matter is unaffected and still compelling; and (iii) The Galactic halo is still an excellent place to search for cold dark matter particles...

The dilator function of the vascular endothelium is critical for optimal tissue perfusion, and this is brought into stark reality in a number of diseases, such as hypertension, diabetes, and preeclampsia, in which endothelium-dependent vasodilator function is impaired. Prostacyclin and nitric oxide (NO) were the earliest identified endothelium-dependent vasodilators, but it was soon found that ...

An anticipatory system for guiding plot development in interactive narratives is described. The executable model is a finite automaton that provides the implemented system with a lookahead. The identification of undesirable future states in the model is used to guide the player, in a transparent manner. In this way, too radical twists of the plot that lead to behaviors of the autonomous fellow ...

This paper presents the overall concept of a wideband and cost-effective current sensor. The sensor consists paralleled Hall-based (LEM) transformer (CT). A significant improvement band range moderate cost proposed enable it to be used both measure instantaneous value in order precisely plot obtain signals for closed-loop control system high-frequency power electronic converters. should conside...
