ABSTRACT-Application of models for simulation of solute and pollutants transport in soil can reduce time and costs for remediation process. HYDRUS-1D model was developed to simulate the one–dimensional flow of soil water, heat, solute and viruses in variably saturated–unsaturated porous media. The objective of this investigation is to determine the solute transport parameters in disturbed soil ...

We study two homogeneous supersymmetric extensions for the f(R) modified gravity model of Starobinsky with FLRW metric. The actions are defined in terms a superfield R that contains scalar curvature. One has N = 1 local supersymmetry, and its bosonic sector is action; other action 2, contains, additional to Starobinsky, massive field without self-interaction. As expected, sectors these models c...

A two-dimensional ~2-D! energy balance ~the 2D model! is reduced to a one-dimensioanl ~1-D! energy balance ~the 1D-radialspiral model! by a coordinate transformation approach. The 1D-radial-spiral model, even though 1-D, captures both radial and spiral heat conductions over a wide range of design parameters. By comparing the temperature predictions of the 1D-radial-spiral model and the 2D model...

Let S = Sym(Ω) be the group of all permutations of an infinite set Ω. Extending an argument of Macpherson and Neumann, it is shown that if U is a generating set for S as a group, respectively as a monoid, then there exists a positive integer n such that every element of S may be written as a group word, respectively a monoid word, of length ≤ n in the elements of U. Some related questions are n...

We propose a thermodynamic version of the Axelrod model of social influence. In one-dimensional (1D) lattices, the thermodynamic model becomes a coupled Potts model with a bonding interaction that increases with the site matching traits. We analytically calculate thermodynamic and critical properties for a 1D system and show that an order-disorder phase transition only occurs at T = 0 independe...

Here, we report the whole-genome sequence of Bacillus subtilis strain DKU_NT_01 isolated from traditional Korean food containing soybean (chung-gook-jang). The de novo genome of Bacillus subtilis strain DKU_NT_01 has one contig and G+C content of 55.4%, is 4,954,264 bp in length, and contains 5,011 coding sequences (CDSs).
