A total of 21 soils covering a wide range of plasticity characteristics and swell potentials were used for the present study. Based on the DSFS test results, a new classification chart is proposed for the prediction of the degree of soil expansion. The experimental findings revealed that the ...

The complexity of the contact line boundary condition is illustrated by the die-swell phenomenon encountered in extrusion and coating problems (Jean and Pritchard, 1980). When a viscous fluid jet, emerges from a circular nozzle, the jet diameter experiences an expansion compared to the diameter of...
luxury tax line—but it will decrease the size of the check Jazz owner Ryan Smith will have to write as a tax payer next summer. Conley is expected to command in excess of $20 million per season, rival execs say, a number that could swell given how many teams are looking for point ...
B) a core of a semi-crystalline, largely isotropic, porous coal based product produced from particulate coal exhibiting a free swell index of between about 3.5 and about 5.0 and of a small diameter, having a density of between about 0.1 and about 0.8 g/cm3 and a thermal conductivity below...
With this normalization the values of α fall into the range \( - \sqrt 2 \pi < \alpha < \sqrt 2 \pi \). 2.1 How to obtain the force-free parameter α Linear force-free fields require the LOS magnetic field in the photosphere as input and contain a free parameter α. One ...
Most tumors grow from the centers and gradually swell, making small tumors (i.e., r < 20mm) nearly spherical. This motivates us to generate tumor-like shapes with ellipsoids. We randomly sample the half-axis lengths of the ellipsoid for x, y, z directions from a uniform distribution U (...
