In this paper, we introduce a new class of planar arrays that we call the Bessel planar arrays. A formula for the current distribution in the elements of these arrays is presented, which is related to Bessel functions. For ...
A comparative assessment within a multigrid environment of segregated pressure-based algorithms for fluid flow at all speeds

Darwish M.; Asmar D.; Moukalled F. (, 2004)

This article deals with the evaluation of six segregated high-resolution pressure-based algorithms, which extend the SIMPLE, SIMPLEC, PISO, SIMPLEX, SIMPLEST, and PRIME algorithms, originally developed for incompressible ...
A client-based customization framework for web applications using JNLP

Artail H.A. (AMSTERDAMPO BOX 211, 1000 AE AMSTERDAM, NETHERLANDS, 2004)

Web personalization and customization are increasingly becoming important services for web users. The conventional approaches used in implementing these services often lead to poor responsiveness, lengthy network delays, ...

Inertia effects on the modulated air layer heat and moisture transport from clothing with open aperture

Ghaddar N.; Ghali K.; Harathani J. (, 2004)

A two-dimensional model is developed of the modulated internal airflow in the gap between clothing and skin surface due to walking and in presence of clothing end apertures. The normal airflow renewing the air layer through ...
SmartSLAM: Localization and mapping across multi-environments

Asmar D.C.; Zelek J.S.; Abdallah S.M. (, 2004)

In the absence of absolute localization tools such as GPS, a robot can still successfully navigate by conducting Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM). All SLAM algorithms to date can only be applied in one environment ...
Comparative assessment of EIA systems in MENA countries: Challenges and prospects

El-Fadl K.; El-Fadel M. (NEW YORK360 PARK AVE SOUTH, NEW YORK, NY 10010-1710 USA, 2004)
