We find a linear instability of nonaxisymmetric Rossby waves in thin nonmagnetized Keplerian disk when there is local maximum the radial profile key function (r)≡(r)S2/Γ(r), where −1=·(∇×v)/Σ potential vorticity, S=P/ΣΓ entropy, Σ surface mass density, P vertically integrated pressure, and Γ adiabatic index. consider detail special case entropy S(r). This acts to trap its vicinity if height-to-width ratio max(S)/Δr larger than threshold value. The pressure gradient derived from this...
<h3>Background</h3> More than 50% of the elderly population has not received pneumococcal vaccination. Uncertainty regarding benefits immunization, particularly for noninvasive disease, may contribute to underuse vaccine. <h3>Objective</h3> To assess health and economic associated with <h3>Methods</h3> We conducted a 2-year retrospective cohort study among all members staff-model managed care organization who had baseline diagnosis chronic lung disease. The outcomes were assessed over 2...
We show that planet formation via both gravitational collapse and core accretion is unlikely to occur in equal mass binary systems with moderate (~ 50 AU) semi-major axes. Internal thermal energy generation the disks sufficient heat gas everywhere so spiral structures quickly decay rather than grow or fragment. This same heating will inhibit dust coagulation because temperatures rise above vaporization of many volatile materials. consider other processes not included model conclude our are...
(highly abridged) We define three requirements for accurate simulations that attempt to model circumstellar disks and the formation of collapsed objects (e.g. planets) within them. First, we a resolution requirement based on wavelength neutral stability self gravitating waves in disk. For particle or grid simulations, this criterion takes form, respectively, minimum number particles per critical (`Toomre') mass maximum value `Toomre number', $T= δx/λ_T$, where wavelength, $λ_T$, is disks....
Systems on chip (SOC) contain multiple concurrent applications with different time criticality (firm, soft, non real-time). As a result, they are often developed by teams or companies, models of computation (MOC) such as dataflow, Kahn process networks (KPN), time-triggered (TT). SOC functionality and (real-time) performance is verified after all have been integrated. In this paper we propose the CompSOC platform design flows that offers virtual execution per application, to allow...
The behavior of uranium in environments, ranging from those natural systems responsible for the formation deposits to nuclear reactors providing 11% world's electricity, is governed by processes involving high-temperature aqueous solutions. It has been well documented that mobile solutions its oxidized, U6+ state, whereas reduced, U4+ assumed be immobile. Here, we present experimental evidence high temperature (>100 °C) acidic brines invalidates this assumption. Our experiments have...
The Kaiser Permanente & Strategic Partners Patient Outcomes Research To Advance Learning (PORTAL) network engages four healthcare delivery systems (Kaiser Permanente, Group Health Cooperative, HealthPartners, and Denver Health) their affiliated research centers to create a new national infrastructure that builds on existing relationships among these institutions. PORTAL is enhancing its current capabilities by expanding the scope of common data model, paying particular attention...
The thermal conductivity of stoichiometric CeO 2 was determined through measurement expansion from 313 to 1723 K, diffusivity 298 1473 and specific heat capacity 1373 K. then calculated as the product density, diffusivity, capacity. found obey an ( A + BT ) −1 relationship with = 6.776×10 −2 m·K·W B 2.793 × 10 −4 m·W .

Abstract The thermal and mechanical properties of cerium dioxide (CeO 2 ) were assessed using a range experimental techniques. oxygen potential CeO was measured by the thermogravimetric technique, numerical fit for is derived based on defect chemistry. Mechanical obtained sound velocity measurement, resonant ultrasound spectroscopy nanoindentation. are then used to evaluate Debye temperature Grüneisen constant. heat capacity conductivity also calculated Finally, upon laser flash analysis...
Tears of the meniscus are among most commonly diagnosed knee injuries. Because lacks ability to self-heal due its low vascularity, surgical intervention is needed in more than 85% cases. Tissue-engineered meniscal implants may provide a treatment strategy that better supports healing and long-term health mobility benefits. We used three-dimensional printing develop "universal" human tissue repair device can be trimmed match corresponding area damage debrided during patient's repair. Computer...
Nickel ferrite (NiFe 2 O 4 ) is a major constituent of the corrosion deposits formed on exterior nuclear fuel cladding tubes during operation. NiFe has attracted much recent interest, mainly due to impact these deposits, known as CRUD, operation commercial reactors. Although advances have been made in modeling CRUD nucleation and growth under wide range conditions, thermophysical properties at high temperatures only approximated, thereby limiting accuracy such models. In this study, samples...
