Any reasonable model of sedimentation contains the nonlinear hindered-settling flux function. If one assumes ideal conditions and no compression, then there exist several theoretically possible ways of identifying a large part of the flux function from only one experiment by means of formulas derived from the theory of partial differential equations. Such identification methods, including new resu

Consider the coupling of two multi-physics systems of time-dependent ODEs. We propose a new Waveform iteration type method for coupling which uses asynchronous communication to be both parallel in time and fast in convergence. Analytical results show convergence in the continuous setting and numerical results for two coupled head equations show good performance of this method, which is both parall

Charged-particle fragmentation functions for jets azimuthally balanced by a high-transverse-momentum, prompt, isolated photon are measured in 25 pb-1 of pp and 0.49 nb-1 of Pb+Pb collision data at 5.02 TeV per nucleon pair recorded with the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider. The measurements are compared to predictions of Monte Carlo generators and to measurements of inclusively selected

Our aim is to construct efficient preconditioners for high order discontinuous Galerkin (DG) methods. We consider the DG spectral element method with Gauss‐Lobatto‐Legendre nodes (DGSEM‐GL) for the 1D linear advection equation. It has been shown in [4] that DGSEM‐GL has the summation‐by‐parts (SBP) property and an equivalent finite volume (FV) discretization is presented in [3]. Thus we present a

Deconstruction is one of the more (in)famous theories in recent times. In this paper, I argue that the theory of deconstruction, proposed by Derrida in particular, should be read as a systematic and rigorous examination of key philosophical and semiotic notions, such as sign and meaning. The relevance of taking deconstructive critique seriously is explored with the point of departure in Derrida’s

Dynamic descriptions of static situations, e.g. The road goes through the forest, have attracted a lot of attention in semantics. In cognitive linguistics, terms such as “fictive motion” and “subjective motion” are often used to describe such sentences. While these terms are taken to be largely synonymous, I argue that they are analytically different, and furthermore point to different possible ex

We suggest a new multigrid preconditioning strategy for use in Jacobian-free Newton–Krylov (JFNK) methods for the solution of algebraic equation systems arising from implicit Discontinuous Galerkin (DG) discretisations. To define the new preconditioner, use is made of an auxiliary first-order finite volume discretisation that refines the original DG mesh, but can still be implemented algebraically

BACKGROUND: To investigate the value of combined treatment with allopurinol and 5-aminosalicylic (5-ASA) based drugs as maintenance treatment for ulcerative colitis (UC).METHODS: 199 patients with UC in remission but with active disease during the preceding 3 years were included. Allopurinol 100 mg twice daily or placebo was added to the 5-ASA based maintenance treatment. Clinical and endoscopic f

Twenty-four chronic alcoholics admitted to hospital for detoxification after a drinking spree were examined by upper gastrointestinal endoscopy. Biopsy specimens were taken from corpus/fundus, antrum and duodenum for tissue histology (eosin stain). From the duodenum villus index and ultrastructure (scanning electron microscopy, SEM) were also performed. As a control group 12 subjectively healthy n
