A Comparison of the Spouse Selection Criteria and Emotional Maturity between Men and Women

AbstractThe aim of this study was to compare the criteria of spouse selection and emotional maturity in men and women married employees of Fars Department of Education in 2013. The research plan was descriptive – causal and the sample included 123-people. (80-men, 43 women) who were selected randomly with multi-stage cluster sampling method. Tools used in this study were Emotional Maturity scale (EMS) and criteria of spouse selection. The data analysis based on inferential and descriptive statistics showed that there was no significant difference between the criteria of spouse-selection and emotional maturity in men and women married employees

Stability analysis of Hilfer fractional differential systems

In this paper, we present some remarks on the stability of fractional order systems with the Hilfer derivative. Using the Laplace transform, some sufficient conditions on the stability and asymptotic stability of autonomous and non-autonomous fractional differential systems are given. The results are obtained via the properties of Mittag-Leffler functions and the non-standard Gronwall inequality

New Computational Algorithms for Analyzing the Stability of the Differential Equations System

In this paper we show how to improve the approximate solution of the large Lyapunov equation obtained by an arbitrary method. Moreover, we propose a new method based on refinement process and Weighted Arnoldi algorithm for solving large Lyapunov matrix equation. Finally, some numerical results will be reported to illustrate the efficiency of the proposed method

Using Acoustic Emission to Evaluate Fracture Toughness Energy Release Rate (GI) at Mode I Delamination of Composite Materials

Delamination is a critical damage mode in composite structures, not necessarily because it will cause the structure split into two or more pieces at the end of the damaging process, but because it can degrade the laminate strength to such a degree that it becomes useless in service. The design of composite structures to account for delamination and other forms of damage involves two fundamental considerations, namely damage resistance and damage tolerance. Knowledge of a laminated composite material’s resistance to interlaminar fracture is useful for product development and material selection

Développement d'un code de transfert radiatif et de son couplage avec un code LES

Les transferts radiatifs jouent un rôle important dans les chambres de combustion des installations industrielles. En effet, il existe un couplage fort entre la combustion turbulente et le rayonnement. Dans le but d étudier ce couplage, le code Rainier est développé pour les calculs de pertes par rayonnement dans un écoulement réactif dans des géométries complexes. Ce code repose sur des simulations aux grandes échelles (LES) de la combustion turbulente. Il est basé sur les maillages tétraédriques non structurés. Le modèle de rayonnement appliqué à la modélisation des propriétés radiatives des gaz est le modèle CK (Correlated-k). La méthode statistique de Monte-Carlo (ERM) est utilisée pour résoudre l équation de Transfert du Rayonnement (ETR). Le code de rayonnement est parallélisé et il montre une réponse linéaire en fonction du nombre de processeurs très proche de la réponse idéale. Une méthode de couplage de code de rayonnement avec le code de combustion LES est développée. Chacun des codes a sa propre logique d architecture et de développement. En conséquence, le couplage entre les deux domaines d étude est réalisé de telle façon que les échanges des données et les synchronisations entre eux soient assurés. Les résultats obtenus à partir du couplage des sur une chambre de combustion d hélicoptère sont présentés. Nous avons montré que le rayonnement modifie les champs instantanés de température et d espèces à l intérieur de la chambre de combustion.Radiation plays an important role in industrial combustion chambers. In fact, there is a strong coupling between combustion and heat transfer in these turbulence chambers. The Rainier code is developed for the calculation of radiation in a reactive flow within a complex geometry. This code is dedicated to Large Eddy Simulation (LES) of turbulent reactive flows. The code is based on unstructured tetrahedral mesh. The correlated k-distribution method (CK) is applied to the modelling of radiative properties of gases. A statistical method of Monte Carlo (ERM) is used to resolve the Radiation Transfer Equation (RTE). The code is parallelized and it shows a linear response to the number of processors, which is very close to the ideal response. A coupling method of the Rainier code and the turbulent combustion code LES is implemented. Each code has its own logic architecture and development. For this, the coupling between these two different fields of study is achieved in such a way that the data exchange and synchronization between them is assured. The results obtained by applying the coupled codes to the combustion chamber of helicopter are presented. We have shown that the radiative transfer modifies the temperature and species fields inside the combustion chamber.CHATENAY MALABRY-Ecole centrale (920192301) / SudocSudocFranceF

Overview of intracoronary brachytherapy for in-stent restenosis of a drug-eluting stent

Percutaneous coronary intervention with stenting is considered recently as the most common procedure for the treatment of symptomatic coronary. The article reviewed 41 studies published during 1997-2019 on intracoronary brachytherapy for in-stent restenosis of a drug-eluting stent. Intracoronary radiation therapy was finally confirmed in the setting of in-stent restenosis using as adjunctive therapy. Irradiation dose to vessels may result in fibrosis, which can, in turn, cause the late formation of an aneurysm due to the weakness of the vessel wall. Intracoronary brachytherapy is a critical treatment which should not be ignored

Analyzing perturbations in phyllotaxis of Arabidopsis thaliana

International audienceVascular plants produce new organs at the tip of the stem in a very organized fashion. This patterning process occurs in small groups of stem cells, the so-called shoot apical meristems (SAM), and generates regular patterns called phyllotaxis. The phyllotaxis of the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana follows a Fibonacci spiral, the most frequent phyllotactic pattern found in nature. In this phyllotactic mode, single organs are initiated successively at a divergence angle from the previous organ close to 137.5°, the golden angle. Cytokinins, a class of plant hormones, is involved in the control of phyllotaxis but its role has remained elusive (Vernoux et al., 2010). By analyzing the expression of several cytokinin signaling regulators in the meristem, we found that the pseudo-phosphotransfer protein AHP6 is expressed specifically during early organogenesis (unpublished results). AHP6 has been demonstrated to act as an inhibitor of cytokinin signaling (Mahonen et al., 2006) and we further observed a destabilization of phyllotaxis in ahp6 null mutant. To understand how AHP6 acts in the control of Arabidopsis phyllotaxis, we analyzed sequences of divergence angles in both wild-type and ahp6 mutant plants. We thus measured the divergence angle between successive flowers on a stem from the base (older flowers) to the top (younger flowers)
