A four-node MITC finite element for magneto-electro-elastic multilayered plates
2013
An isoparametric four-node finite element for multilayered magneto-electro-elastic plates analysis is presented. It is based on an equivalent single-layer model, which assumes the first order shear deformation theory and quasi-static behavior for the electric and magnetic fields. First, the electro-magnetic state of the plate is determined in terms of the mechanical primary variables, namely the generalized displacements, by solving the strong form of the magneto-electric governing equations coupled with the electro-magnetic interface continuity conditions and the external boundary conditions. In turn, this result is used into the layers constitutive law to infer the equivalent single-layer…
Towards a nonequilibrium thermodynamic description of incoherent nonlinear optics
2007
pa href="http://oe.osa.org/virtual_issue.cfm?vid=36"Focus Serial: Frontiers of Nonlinear Optics/a/pThis concise review is aimed at providing an introduction to the kinetic theory of partially coherent optical waves propagating in nonlinear media. The subject of incoherent nonlinear optics received a renewed interest since the first experimental demonstration of incoherent solitons in slowly responding photorefractive crystals. Several theories have been successfully developed to provide a detailed description of the novel dynamical features inherent to partially coherent nonlinear optical waves. However, such theories leave unanswered the following important question: Which is the long term…
Stability of the equilibrium state of the equation system of a viscous barotropic gas in the model of atmosphere
2006
We consider the system of equations of viscous gas motion whose pressure is related to the density by the law $p = h \varrho^\gamma$ with 1<γ <2, in a domain defined by two levels of geopotential. Under the force due to geopotential and the Coriolis force, we prove the stability of the equilibrium state in a suitable Sobolev space. Keywords: Viscous barotropic gas, Equilibrium state, Coriolis force Mathematics Subject Classification (2000): 35Q35, 76N15
Effects of Fiscal Stimulus in Structural Models
2010
The paper assesses, using seven structural models used heavily by policymaking institutions, the effectiveness of temporary fiscal stimulus. Models can, more easily than empirical studies, account for differences between fiscal instruments, for differences between structural characteristics of the economy, and for monetary-fiscal policy interactions. Findings are: (i) There is substantial agreement across models on the sizes of fiscal multipliers. (ii) The sizes of spending and targeted transfers multipliers are large. (iii) Fiscal policy is most effective if it has some persistence and if monetary policy accommodates it. (iv) The perception of permanent fiscal stimulus leads to significant…
The Asynchronous Leontief Model
1992
International audience; The traditional dynamic Leontief model is synchronous: every vertex acts simultaneously. A model with delays of action has been proposed, but it still remains synchronous. In this paper we propose an asynchronous version of the model that allows realistic computations. We fiurnish an algorithm and a program.
Dynamic force spectroscopy: analysis of reversible bond-breaking dynamics
2008
The problem of diffusive bond-dissociation in a double well potential under application of an external force is scrutinized. We compute the probability distribution of rupture forces and present a detailed discussion of the influence of finite rebinding probabilities on the dynamic force spectrum. In particular, we focus on barrier crossing upon extension, i.e. under linearly increased load, and upon relaxation starting from completely separated bonds. For large loading rates the rupture force and the rejoining force depend on the loading rate in the expected manner determined by the shape of the potential. For small loading rates the mean forces obtained from pull and relax modes approach …

The role of governance in realising the transition towards sustainable societies
2016
It is widely known that governance is central to the successful implementation of sustainable development policies and measures. Yet, there is a paucity of research which explore the links between governance and sustainability. This paper attempts to address this research need by providing an analysis of the role of governance in enabling - and to some extent - fostering a transition towards sustainable societies. A set of indicators for assessing the capacity for and willingness and commitment to transition to a more sustainable society is presented, enabling identification of direction of change. This paper presents the results of a study, in the context of which sustainability governance…
Topology of multiplex heterogeneous networks of Hodgkin-Huxley-type of models with bistability leading to stabilization stable equilibrium
2021
The dynamics of a multiplex heterogeneous networks of oscillators is studied. Two types of very similar models based on the Hodgkin-Huxley formalism are used as the basic elements of the network: the first one demonstrates bursting oscillations; the second one manifests bistability between bursting oscillations and stable equilibrium. Multiplex networks were developed and investigated, assuming more active communication between models with bistability. Different topologies of the networks are studied. It is shown that in this case it is enough to have one element with bistability in the subnetworks in order to stabilize the equilibrium state in the entire network.
Isobaric Vapor−Liquid Equilibrium in the Systems Methyl 1,1-Dimethylethyl Ether + 2-Methyl-2-propanol and Methyl 1,1-Dimethylethyl Ether + 2-Methylpe…
1999
Consistent vapor−liquid equilibrium data for the binary and ternary systems methyl 1,1-dimethylethyl ether (MTBE) + 2-methyl-2-propanol (TBA) and methyl 1,1-dimethylethyl ether (MTBE) + 2-methylpentane + 2-methyl-2-propanol (TBA) are reported at 101.3 kPa at temperatures in the range 328 to 356 K. The results indicate that the systems deviate positively from ideality and that no azeotrope is present. The activity coefficients of the solutions were correlated with composition by Wilson, NRTL, and UNIQUAC models. It is shown that the models allow a very good prediction of the phase equilibrium of the ternary system using the pertinent parameters of the binary system. In addition, the Wisniak−…
