improvement in braking performance and vehicle stability can be achieved through the use of braking systems whose brake force distribution is variable. electronic braking force distribution has an important and serious role in the vehicle stopping distance and stability. in this paper a new approach will be presented to achieve the braking force distribution strategy for articulated vehicles. f...

An accurate description of the fluid flow and heat transfer within a Pressurized Water Reactor (PWR), for the safety analysis and reactor performance is always desirable. In this paper a mathematical model of the fundamental physical phenomena which are associated to a typical PWR is presented. The mathematical model governs the fluid dynamics in the reactor. Using commercial software CFX, a co...

A novel route to the exponential trapping-time distribution within a solidlike state in water clusters is described. We propose a simple homogeneous network (SHN) model to investigate dynamics on the potential energy networks of water clusters. In this model, it is shown that the trapping-time distribution in a solidlike state follows the exponential distribution, whereas the trapping-time dist...

We obtain closed form expressions for the expected conditional degree distribution and the joint degree distribution of the linear preferential attachment model for network growth in the steady state. We consider the multiple-destination preferential attachment growth model, where incoming nodes at each timestep attach to β existing nodes, selected by degree-proportional probabilities. By the c...

We present a model for the local diffusion-relaxation dynamics of the C(α)-atoms in proteins describing both the diffusive short-time dynamics and the asymptotic long-time relaxation of the position autocorrelation functions. The relaxation rate spectra of the latter are represented by shifted gamma distributions, where the standard gamma distribution describes anomalous slow relaxation in macr...

environmental factors mainly temperature are believed to determine the distribution and population dynamics of fusarium species in a natural ecosystem. species may be restricted in their distribution by adaptation to specific sets of soil environmental conditions. population dynamics of five fusarium species representative of different climatic conditions were studied at three levels of tem...

We propose and analyze an information-sharing application for wireless intervehicular networks, called Infoshare. Infoshare leverages the broadcast nature of the wireless medium to achieve maximum spreading of information queries among vehicles, while a smart caching policy limits the overhead resulting from useless queries and duplicated replies. We first evaluate the performance of Infoshare ...

A simple argument based on the distribution of individuals amongst discrete resource sites is used to show how the form of single species population models depends on the type of competition between, and the spatial clustering of, the individuals. For scramble competition between individuals, we confirm earlier demonstrations that the Ricker model is a direct consequence of a uniform random dis...
