Multiregion Analysis of Conduction and Convective Heat Transfer in a Finite Tube Bundle Reactor (Rod Bundle)
A theoretical investigation has been carried out to determine the temperature fields and the heat transfer rates in various regions of a rod-clustered circular channel. Analytical results for two cases, the thermal entrance region and the thermally developed region, have been presented. In the …

Tuning of the Active Hair Bundle
… mechanical disturbances by means of its hair bundle, a motile organelle consisting of actin-filled, villous projections (called stereocilia) endowed with assemblies (called adaptation motors) of mechano-sensitive ion channels and myosin molecules that power both spontaneous and evoked …

Bundle gerbes and the Weyl map
This thesis reviews bundle gerbe theory and the well-known basic bundle gerbe over SU(n). We introduce the cup product bundle gerbe, and show it is stably isomorphic to the pullback of the basic bundle gerbe by the Weyl map. This result enriches our understanding of the basic bundle gerbe, which …

Increasing CLABSI Bundle Compliance in the NICU
… Current evidence shows that having a CLABSI bundle compliance rate of 95 percent or greater correlates with a reduction in CLABSI occurrences. The purpose of this project is to increase compliance to CLABSI prevention practices in the NICU through education and ongoing central line audits. …

Mechanical Control of Sensory Hair-Bundle Function
<p>Hair bundles detect sound in the auditory system, head position and rotation in the vestibular system, and fluid flow in the lateral-line system. To do so, bundles respond to periodic, static, and hydrodynamic forces contingent upon the receptor organs in which they are situated. As the …

Latent trait estimation for item bundle structures
Tests comprising item bundles, (i.e., groups of items related to common passages, paragraph, or graphs), have been treated as if they measure only a general trait, ignoring the within bundle dependencies. The consequences of not taking into account the specificity of each group of items are, in …

Trajectory bundle estimation For perception-driven planning
… a new representation based around trajectory bundles, that makes this challenging task more tractable. Rather than attempt to explicitly model the geometry of the world in front of the vehicle (which can be incredibly complex), we reason about the world in terms of what the vehicle can and …

Bundling and Consumer Evaluations of Individual Bundle Components
… and categorization theories, we propose that bundle price discounts will influence perceived prices and quality of the individual bundle components, thus influence purchase intentions. Meanwhile, we investigate how these bundling effects interplay with the forms of bundling, complementarity …

Lifting bundle gerbes and central extensions of gauge groups
The loop group Map(S¹,G) has a central extension by the circle called the Kac-Moody group. We use the techniques introduced in [29] to generalise this construction to higher mapping groups such as Map(∑,G) and construct the central extension ...

Open strings in the cotangent bundle and Morse homotopy
Let M be a riemannian manifold of dimension 3. We study the genus zero open rigid J-holomorphic curves in T*M with boundaries mapped in perturbations of the zero section. The perturbations of the zero section is defined fixing a. set of functions on M. We consider the graphs of the differential of …

Critical power characteristics of axially heterogeneous tight bundle designs
… of the dryout critical power in fuel rod bundles is challenging and has important implications for the economy and safety of Boiling Water Reactors (BWRs). This is especially true for the tight bundle design of the Resource-Renewable BWR (RBWR) proposed by Hitachi, Ltd. Unlike a …

Decoding the Bundle of Sticks: Genetic Property Rights, Research & Regulation
Our genes hold a potential key to unlocking a healthier life through the elimination of disease. Despite knowing the DNA sequences that comprise the human genome, further research must be performed to determine exactly how this information can be used to obtain improved health outcomes. As new …

The Role of the Stereociliary Glycocalyx in Hair Bundle Cohesion
… organelle of the hair cell is the hair bundle, a cluster of linked, finger-like, membrane-ensheathed projections, stereocilia, emerging from the cell's apical surface. As a structure, the hair bundle is highly conserved, changing little yet performing many functions throughout the …

BUNDLE METRICS IN KALUZA-KLEIN THEORIES AND THE CONSISTENCY PROBLEM
In this work, bundle metrics which allow a unified description of gravity and the other interactions, a la Kaluza-Klein theory, are considered. After recalling some basic notions of fiber bundles and Riemannian geometry, it is shown that the transition functions which give the global structure of a …

Analysis of Vestibular Hair Cell Bundle Mechanics Using Finite Element Modeling
… Head movement causes deformation of hair cell bundles in these organs, which translate this mechanical stimulus into an electrical response sent to the nervous system. This study consisted of two sections, both utilizing a Fortran-based finite element program to study hair cell bundle response. …
