Geometric Singular Perturbation Theory Beyond Normal Hyperbolicity
2001
Geometric Singular Perturbation theory has traditionally dealt only with perturbation problems near normally hyperbolic manifolds of singularities. In this paper we want to show how blow up techniques can permit enlarging the applicability to non-normally hyperbolic points. We will present the method on well chosen examples in the plane and in 3-space.
Collision Orbits in the Isosceles Rectilinear Restricted Problem
1995
In the study of the Collinear Three-Body Problem, McGehee (1974) introduced a new set of coordinates which had the effect of blowing up the triple collision singularity. Subsequently, his method has been used to analyze some other collision or singularities. Recently, Wang (1986) introduced another transformation which differs from the McGehee’s coordinates in the fact that the blowing-up factor is now the potential function, U, instead of the moment of inertia, I. Meyer and Wang (1993) have applied this method to the Restricted Isosceles Three-body Problem with positive energy and Cors and Llibre (1994) to the hyperbolic restricted three-body problem. In this paper we study the singulariti…
Homeomorphic graph manifolds: A contribution to the μ constant problem
1999
Abstract We give a characterization, in terms of homological data in covering spaces, of those maps between (3-dimensional) graph manifolds which are homotopic to homeomorphisms. As an application we give a condition on a cobordism between graph manifolds that guarantees that they are homeomorphic. This in turn is applied to give a partial result on the μ -constant problem in (complex) dimension three.
Experimental Study of the Stage-Discharge Relationship for an Upstream Inclined Grid with Longitudinal Bars
2013
AbstractIn this paper, the outflow process of an upstream inclined grid with longitudinal bars is studied by using the dimensional analysis and the incomplete self-similarity theory. Next, the theoretical analysis shows that a power equation can be used for establishing the stage-discharge equation. The coefficient and an exponent of the power equation depend on the slope angle and the void ratio. Finally, this new stage discharge is tested by using measurements obtained by laboratory runs conducted in this investigation.
Closure to “Experimental Study of the Stage-Discharge Relationship for an Upstream Inclined Grid with Longitudinal Bars” by C. Di Stefano and V. Ferro
2014
The discusser would like to thank the authors of the original paper for investigating the outflow process of an upstream inclined grid with longitudinal bars using the dimensional analysis and the incomplete self-similarity theory. The discusser, however, would like to add a few points. Using the theoretical analysis the authors of the original paper showed that a power equation can be used for establishing the stage-discharge equation of an upstream inclined grid with longitudinal bars. The authors of the original paper also showed that the coefficient and exponent of the power equation depend on the slope angle and the void ratio. They proposed a stage-discharge equation
New-stage discharge relationships for free and submerged sluice gates
2012
Abstract The flow movement through a sluice gate is investigated for both free and submerged flow conditions. For free flow condition, the current dimensionless formula, indicated acceptable accuracy; while for submerged flow condition it was modified especially for low submerged condition. In this regard, Buckingham theorem along with the Incomplete Self-Similarity concept was employed and a new stage–discharge relationship was developed accordingly. Also, to achieve a suitable formula for submerged flow condition being accurate in low submergence, the maximum tailwater depth allowing the free flow condition and head loss factor were identified as missing parameters in the functional dimen…
New stage-discharge relationship for cylindrical and semi-cylindrical edged sluice gates
2019
Abstract Gates are simple hydraulic structures which have been widely used for flow control and measurement in irrigation networks. In this paper new sluice gates with cylindrical and semi-cylindrical edges were introduced and the flow movement below these types of gates was experimentally investigated for both free- and submerged-flow conditions. The Buckingham theorem of dimensional analysis and the self-similarity theory were applied for developing the stage-discharge relationships for the two investigated flow conditions. For these cylindrical and semi-cylindrical edged gates and a free-flow condition, the proposed stage-discharge relationship was characterized by an estimate error less…
Locally Supported Wavelets on Manifolds with Applications to the 2D Sphere
1999
Abstract In this paper we present a construction principle for locally supported wavelets on manifolds once a multiresolution analysis is given. The wavelets provide a stable (or unconditional) basis for a scale of Sobolev spaces H s , 0 ≤ s ≤ s . We examine a fast wavelet transform with almost optimal complexity. For the two-dimensional sphere we construct a multiresolution analysis generated by continuous splines that are bilinear with respect to some special spherical grid. In our approach the poles are not exceptional points concerning the approximation power or the stability of the wavelet basis. Finally we present some numerical applications to singularity detection and the analysis o…
Foreign language pronunciation skills and musical aptitude A study of Finnish adults with higher education
2010
Abstract The main aim of this study was to examine second language production and discrimination skills in the light of musical aptitude. Our study was conducted in university settings in south-western Finland. English was used as a model for the second language due to its popularity among young adults. There were three types of tests used in this study: a pronunciation test, a phonemic listening discrimination task, and the Seashore test as an index of the musical aptitude. All the participants performed equally well in the phonemic listening discrimination task. However, the participants with higher musical aptitude were able to pronounce English better than the participants with less mus…
