Abstract: A model has been developed for expiration from human lungs in which the mechanical properties of the airways and parenchyma can be varied between regions. The model is based on an existing ...

Abstract: We present the numerical estimation of noise parameter induced in the dynamics of the variables by random particle interactions involved in the stochastic chemical oscillator and use it as order parameter to detect the ...

Abstract: A new perspective of the dynamics of a tropical cyclone eye is given in which eye subsidence and the adiabatic warming accompanying it are accounted for directly from the equations of motion. Subsidence is driven by an ...

Abstract: Low mass, high speed trains may be in danger of being overturned by strong crosswinds. This paper examines the aerodynamic data required to estimate overturning wind speeds. The results of ...

Abstract: An analysis is given for the hydrodynamic lubrication of short porous metal bearings that are press-fitted into a solid housing. An exact solution is given for the pressure of the lubricant ...
