Abstract The hydraulic and thermal simulation of crude oil pipeline transportation is greatly significant for the safe transportation and accurate regulation of pipelines. With reasonable basic parameters, the solution of the traditional partial differential equation (PDE) for the axial soil temperature field on the pipeline can obtain accurate simulation results, yet it brings about a low calculation efficiency problem. In order to overcome the low-efficiency problem, an efficient and robust hybrid solution model for soil temperature field coupling with Bayesian neural network and PDE is proposed, which considers the dynamic changes of boundary conditions. Four models, including the proposed hybrid model,… More >

Abstract In Single-Photon Emission Computed Tomography (SPECT), the reconstructed image has insufficient contrast, poor resolution and inaccurate volume of the tumor size due to physical degradation factors. Generally, nonstationary filtering of the projection or the slice is one of the strategies for correcting the resolution and therefore improving the quality of the reconstructed SPECT images. This paper presents a new 3D algorithm that enhances the quality of reconstructed thoracic SPECT images and reduces the noise level with the best degree of accuracy. The suggested algorithm is composed of three steps. The first one consists of denoising the acquired projections using the… More >

Abstract This paper presents a novel random controlled pool base differential evolution algorithm (RCPDE) where powerful mutation strategy and control parameter pools have been used. The mutation strategy pool contains mutations strategies having diverse parameter values, whereas the control parameter pool contains varying nature pairs of control parameter values. It has also been observed that with the addition of rarely used control parameter values in these pools are highly beneficial to enhance the performance of the DE algorithm. The proposed mutation strategy and control parameter pools improve the solution quality and the convergence speed of DE algorithm. The simulation results of… More >

Abstract The nonlinear dispersive modified Benjamin-Bona-Mahony (DMBBM) equation is solved numerically using adaptive moving mesh PDEs (MMPDEs) method. Indeed, the exact solution of the DMBBM equation is obtained by using the extended Jacobian elliptic function expansion method. The current methods give a wider applicability for handling nonlinear wave equations in engineering and mathematical physics. The adaptive moving mesh method is compared with exact solution by numerical examples, where the explicit solutions are known. The numerical results verify the accuracy of the proposed method.

Abstract Our objective was to determine the effect of phosphodiesterase (PDE) inhibition on: 1) tyrosine phosphorylation of human spermatozoa at the tail level; and 2) sperm motion parameters and hyperactivated motility. The study was conducted with normozoospermic and asthenozoospermic samples incubated under in vitro capacitating conditions. The main outcome measures were computer-assisted sperm motion analysis and fluorescent immunodetection of phosphotyrosine-containing proteins. Pentoxifylline (PTX) was used as PDE inhibitor because of its wide use in the clinic. PTX-treatment significantly increased sperm velocity, hyperactivated motility and tyrosine-phosphorylation, both in normo and asthenozoospermic samples. Tyrosine-phosphorylation of tail proteins was highly conspicuous in both types… More >

Abstract When the local differential quadrature (LDQ) has been successfully applied to solve two-dimensional problems, the global method of DQ still has a problem by requiring to solve the inversions of ill-posed matrices. Previously, when one uses (n-1)th order polynomial test functions to determine the weighting coefficients with n grid points, the resultant nxn Vandermonde matrix is highly ill-conditioned and its inversion is hard to solve. Now we use (m-1)th order polynomial test functions by n grid points that the size of Vandermonde matrix is mxn, of which m is much less than n. We find that the (m-1)th order polynomial… More >

Abstract Linear PDE are often appropriate as mathematical models for space-time biological phenomena. Among these are 1) Rall's equivalent cylinder model for cable neurons (see [1,2] and references therein), and 2) morphogen gradients with low receptor occupancy (see [3.4] and references therein). For some of these problems including cable neurons under synaptic current injection, we are interested in the system's response to stochastic excitations. The present paper offers a practical and efficient method for determining the statistical properties of the model response. For linear problems, the solution of an initial-boundary value problem in PDE is in principle given by the relevant… More >

Abstract Pulse detonation turbine engines (PDTEs), which are used as power generation, are desirable to use hydrocarbon from the aspect of infrastructure of fuels. In the present study, we investigate the performance of PDEs using mixed hydrocarbon fuels. With the detailed 42-species and 168-step mechanism, numerical simulations on mixed-fuel-and-air PDEs are conducted. We use CH4-C3H8, CH4-H2, and C3H8-H2 as fuels, and examine characteristic features of detonations with different blend ratios. We perform calculations on the Chapman-Jouguet detonation speeds and chemical reaction lengths, and investigate ZND profiles of chemical reactions. Then we evaluate PDEs performances by changing blend ratios. These results show… More >

Abstract We introduce a new type of basis functions in this paper to approximate a scattered data set. We test our basis functions on recovering the well-known Franke's function given by scattered data. We then use these basis functions in Kansa's method for solving Helmholtz equations. To demonstrate our proposed approach, we compare the numerical solutions with analytic solutions. The numerical results show that our approach is accurate and efficient. More >

Abstract The Indirect Radial Basis Function Network (IRBFN) method has been reported to be a highly accurate tool for approximating multivariate functions and solving elliptic partial differential equations (PDEs). The present method is a truly meshless method as defined in [\citet *{Atluri_Shen_02a}]. A recent development of the method for solving transient problems is presented in this paper. Two numerical schemes combining the IRBFN method with different time integration techniques based on either fully or semi-discrete framework are proposed. The two schemes are implemented making use of Hardy's multiquadrics (MQ) and Duchon's thin plate splines (TPS). Some example problems are solved by… More >
