in the present study, the effect of core on shear lag phenomenon in tubular structures is investigated. three different tubular structure models including model without core, model with central core and model with central core but eliminated in last 15 stories have been analyzed. a shear lag index is defined for evaluating these models. from examination of the results, the effective influence o...

The need of software-flexible stream ciphers has led to several alternative proposals in the last few years. One of them is a new Pseudo Random Number Generator (PRNG), named N-adic Summation-Shrinking (NSumSG), which architecture is described in this paper. It uses N-1 parallel working slave summation generators and one N-adic summation generator, controlling the nonlinearity in the generator....

Natural gas sweetening is an essential process within hydrocarbon processing operations, enabling compliance with product quality specifications, avoiding corrosion problems, and environmental care. This aims to remove hydrogen sulfide (H2S), carbon dioxide, or both contaminants. It can be carried out in fixed-bed adsorption towers, where iron oxide-based solid sorbent reacts the H2S produce su...

This work shows that the cryptanalysis of the shrinking generator requires fewer intercepted bits than that indicated by the linear complexity. Indeed, whereas the linear complexity of shrunken sequences is between A·2(S−2) and A·2(S−1), we claim that the initial states of both component registers are easily computed with less than A · S shrunken bits. Such a result is proven thanks to the defi...

The shrinking generator is a keystream generator which is good for stream ciphers in wireless mobile communications, because it has simple structure and generates a keystream faster than other generators. Nevertheless, it has a serious disadvantage that its keystream is not balanced if they use primitive polynomials as their feedback polynomials. In this paper, we present a method to construct ...

Leskovec, Kleinberg and Faloutsos (2005) observed that many social networks exhibit properties such as shrinking (i.e. bounded) diameter, densification, and (power-law) heavy tail degree distributions. To explain these phenomena, they introduced a generative model, called the Forest Fire model, and using simulations showed that this model indeed exhibited these properties; however, proving this...

In the present investigation, the magnetohydrodynamic Falkner-Skan flow of tangent hyperbolic nanofluids over a stretching/shrinking wedge with variable suction, internal heat generation/absorption and chemical reaction with activation energy have been scrutinized. Nanofluid model is composed of “Brownian motion’’ and “Thermophoresis’’. Transformed non-dimensional coupled non-linear equations a...

We present four continuations of the critical nonlinear Schrödinger equation (NLS) beyond the singularity: (1) a sub-threshold power continuation, (2) a shrinking-hole continuation for ring-type solutions, (3) a vanishing nonlinear-damping continuation and (4) a complex Ginzburg–Landau (CGL) continuation. Using asymptotic analysis, we explicitly calculate the limiting solutions beyond the singu...

The size reduction of municipal solid waste (MSW) particles on the reverse acting traveling grate of a waste-to-energy (WTE) combustion chamber was estimated by means of a numerical model combining the particle size distributions (PSD) of MSW and combustion residues and the Shrinking Core Model (SCM). This new integrated model was used to simulate the particle behavior on the grate. During thei...
