Wetting morphologies on an array of fibers of different radii [PDF]
, 2015 We investigate the equilibrium morphology of a finite volume of liquid placed on two parallel rigid fibers of different radii. As observed for identical radii fibers, the liquid is either in a column morphology or adopts a drop shape depending on the ...

Metals, 2018 The structural integrity assessment of components containing notch-type defects has been the subject of extensive research in the last few decades. The assumption that notches behave as cracks is generally too conservative, making it necessary to develop

On Critical Relative Distance of DNA Codes for Additive Stem Similarity [PDF]
, 2010 We consider DNA codes based on the nearest-neighbor (stem) similarity model which adequately reflects the "hybridization potential" of two DNA sequences.

A New Technology for Smooth Blasting without Detonating Cord for Rock Tunnel Excavation
Applied Sciences, 2020 In this paper, the aim is to achieve safe, rapid excavation of an extra-long, large-cross-section highway tunnel in Eastern Tianshan, as well as to reduce production costs, simplify production processes, reduce cycle time, and improve production ...

Geodesic Distance in Planar Graphs [PDF]
, 2003 We derive the exact generating function for planar maps (genus zero fatgraphs) with vertices of arbitrary even valence and with two marked points at a fixed geodesic distance. This is done in a purely combinatorial way based on a bijection with decorated

Critical Issues in Open and Distance Education Research
International Review of Research in Open and Distributed Learning, 2023 Despite its mainstreaming into the broader educational ecology, open and distance education (ODE) still leaves much to be desired in terms of both practice and research. Inspired and informed by the author’s 35 years of experience as an ODE practitioner,

Quark mass correction to the string potential [PDF]
, 1995 A consistent method for calculating the interquark potential generated by the relativistic string with massive ends is proposed. In this approach the interquark potential in the model of the Nambu--Goto string with point--like masses at its ends is ...

Global Persistence Exponent in Critical Dynamics: Finite Size induced Crossover [PDF]
, 2007 We extend the definition of a global order parameter to the case of a critical system confined between two infinite parallel plates separated by a finite distance $L$.

Cone fields and topological sampling in manifolds with bounded curvature [PDF]
, 2012 Often noisy point clouds are given as an approximation of a particular compact set of interest. A finite point cloud is a compact set. This paper proves a reconstruction theorem which gives a sufficient condition, as a bound on the Hausdorff distance ...

Sparse Distributed Memory: understanding the speed and robustness of expert memory
Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2014 How can experts, sometimes in exacting detail, almost immediately and very precisely recall memory items from a vast repertoire? The problem in which we will be interested concerns models of theoretical neuroscience that could explain the speed and ...
