Wormhole solutions sourced by fluids, I: Two-fluid charged sources
(2016)
We briefly discuss some of the known and new properties of rotating geometries that are relevant to this work. We generalize the analytical method of superposition of fields, known for generating nonrotating solutions, and ...
Wormhole solutions sourced by fluids, II: three-fluid two-charged sources
(2016)
Lack of a consistent metric for generating rotating wormholes motivates us to present a new one endowed with interesting physical and geometrical properties. When combined with the generalized method of superposition of ...
Engineering long shelf life multilayer biologically active surfaces on microfluidic devices for point of care applications
(2016)
Although materials and engineered surfaces are broadly utilized in creating assays and devices with wide applications in diagnostics, preservation of these immuno-functionalized surfaces on microfluidic devices remains a ...
Hybridizing a fuzzy multi-response Taguchi optimization algorithm with artificial neural networks to solve standard ready-mixed concrete optimization problems
(2016)
In this study, a fuzzy multi-response standard ready-mixed concrete (SRMC) optimization problem is addressed. This problem includes two conflicting quality optimization objectives. One of these objectives is to minimize ...
Cyclic and heteroclinic flows near general static spherically symmetric black holes
(2016)
We investigate the Michel-type accretion onto a static spherically symmetric black hole. Using a Hamiltonian dynamical approach, we show that the standard method employed for tackling the accretion problem has masked some ...
Astrophysical flows near f (T) gravity black holes
(2016)
In this paper, we study the accretion process for fluids flowing near a black hole in the context of f (T) teleparallel gravity. Specifically, by performing a dynamical analysis by a Hamiltonian system, we are able to find ...
Photodynamic Therapy-Induced Microvascular Changes in a Nonmelanoma Skin Cancer Model Assessed by Photoacoustic Microscopy and Diffuse Correlation Spectroscopy
(2016)
One of the main mechanisms of action for photodynamic therapy (PDT) is the destruction of tumor vasculature. We observed the PDT-induced vasculature destruction in a mouse model of skin cancer using two techniques: ...
Vacuum and nonvacuum black holes in a uniform magnetic field
(2016)
We modify and generalize the known solution for the electromagnetic field when a vacuum, stationary, axisymmetric black hole is immersed in a uniform magnetic field to the case of nonvacuum black holes (of modified gravity) ...
Integrating features for accelerometer-based activity recognition
(2016)
Activity recognition is the problem of predicting the current action of a person through the motion sensors worn on the body. The problem is usually approached as a supervised classification task where a discriminative ...
New Formulations for the Orienteering Problem
(2016)
Problems associated with determining optimal routes from one or several depots (origin, home city) to a set of nodes (vertices, cities, customers, locations) are known as routing problems. The Traveling Salesman Problem ...
