one of the major issues in dam construction is water seepage, post impounding. assessment and prediction of the amount of waterleakage can be useful in preventing such events. the seymareh dam has been constructed on the seymareh river in ilam province,southwest of iran. the dam controls the floods and generates hydroelectric power. it is already under impoundment and the seepageproblem is bein...

We show a reduction method to construct a code for the Gray-Wyner (GW) network from a given code for the Wyner-Ahlswede-Körner (WAK) network. By combining this reduction with a converse bound on the GW network, we derive a converse bound on the WAK network. The derived bound gives an alternative proof of the strong converse theorem for the WAK network.

The GW approximation is nowadays being used to obtain accurate quasiparticle energies of atoms and molecules. In practice, the GW approximation is generally evaluated perturbatively, based on a prior self-consistent calculation within a simpler approximation. The final result thus depends on the choice of the self-consistent mean-field chosen as a starting point. Using a recently developed GW c...

The GW approximation [1] to many body perturbation theory represents the state of the art technique to calculate the quasiparticle correction to the band gap of solids and has been sucessfully applied to many materials. Although the GW approximation works well with pseudopotentials (PP’s) and plane wave basis sets used within Density Functional Theory Local density approximation (DFT-LDA), the ...

Gravitational-wave signals from inspirals of binary compact objects (black holes and neutron stars) are primary targets of the ongoing searches by groundbased gravitational-wave (GW) interferometers (LIGO, Virgo and GEO-600). We present parameter estimation results from our Markov-chain Monte Carlo code SPINSPIRAL on signals from binaries with precessing spins. Two data sets are created by inje...

Rapidly rotating, slightly nonaxisymmetric neutron stars emit nearly periodic gravitational waves (GWs), quite possibly at levels detectable by ground-based GW interferometers. We refer to these sources as ‘‘GW pulsars.’’ For any given sky position and frequency evolution, the F -statistic is the maximum likelihood statistic for the detection of GW pulsars. However, in ‘‘all-sky’’ searches for ...

We summarize the molgw code that implements density-functional theory and many-body perturbation theory in a Gaussian basis set. The code is dedicated to the calculation of the many-body self-energy within the GW approximation and the solution of the Bethe-Salpeter equation. These two types of calculations allow the user to evaluate physical quantities that can be compared to spectroscopic expe...

abstract         background and objective: scientific evidence reveals that the density of skeletal muscle microcirculations decreases in the patients with chronic heart failure. therefore, this study aimed to determine the impact of submaximal aerobic exercise training on restoration of fast/slow-twitch muscle fibers microcirculation in rats with myocardial infarction.          methods: in thi...

We review in the present article recent developments within the framework of ab initio manybody perturbation theory aiming at providing an accurate description of the electronic and excitonic properties of π-conjugated organic systems currently used in organic photovoltaic cells. In particular, techniques such as the GW and Bethe-Salpeter formalisms are being benchmarked for acenes, fullerenes,...
