In this paper, an asymptotic expansion is used to derive a description of Phan–Tien– Tanner (PTT)/Oldroyd-B flows in the thin film situation without the classical “upper convective maxwell”(UCM) assumption. We begin with a short presentation of the Phan–Thien–Tanner/Oldroyd-B models, which introduce viscoelastic effects in a solute–solvent mixture. The three-dimensional flow is described using five parameters, namely the Deborah number (De) (or the relaxation parameter λ), the viscosity ratio r, the bulk fluid viscosity η, the material slip parameter a related to the “convected derivative” and an elongation number κ. Then we focus on the thin film assumption and the related asymptotic analysis that allows us to derive a reduced model. A perturbation procedure for “not too small” values of κ allows us to obtain further results such as an asymptotic “effective viscosity/ shear rate” law, which appears to be a perturbation of the double Rabinowisch model, whose parameters are completely defined by those of the original three-dimensional model. And last a numerical procedure is proposed based on a penalized Uzawa method, to compute the corresponding solution. This algorithm can also be used for any generalized double Newtonian shear thinning Carreau law.

The PTT-OLROYD-B model for solute-solvent mixtures introduces visco elastic effects by way of five parameters, namely Deborah number De, a viscosity ratio r, a viscosity, a parameter related to the convected derivation and an elongation parameter κ. Asymptotic expansion is used to gain a description of the flow in the thin film situation. Two cases are considered depending of the relative magnitude of the parameters De and κ with respect to the thickness ratio. In the first situation, the elongation effects disappear at the limits and the constitutive law of the film flow is a double Newtonian Rabinowisch model whose parameters are completely described by those of the original 3-D model. In the second case in which the elongation parameter is of order zero with respect of the film thickness ratio, however small, a perturbation procedure allows to retain this parameter in the asymptotic constitutive law. This law appears to be a small modification of the double Newtonian Rabinowisch law. Last a new numerical procedure is proposed. Numerical examples will be presented for 3-D flows.

Shadowing with heavy metals has been used for many years to enhance the topological features of biological macromolecular complexes. The three dimensional features present in directionaly shadowed specimens often simplifies interpretation of projection images provided by other techniques. One difficulty with the method is the relatively large amount of metal used to achieve sufficient contrast in bright field images. Thick shadow films are undesirable because they decrease resolution due to an increased tendency for microcrystalline aggregates to form, because decoration artefacts become more severe and increased cap thickness makes estimation of dimensions more uncertain.The large increase in contrast provided by the dark field mode of imaging allows the use of shadow replicas with a much lower average mass thickness. To form the images in Fig. 1, latex spheres of 0.087 μ average diameter were unidirectionally shadowed with platinum carbon (Pt-C) and a thin film of carbon was indirectly evaporated on the specimen as a support.

The inheritance and innovation of ancient architecture decoration art is an important way for the development of the construction industry. The data process of traditional ancient architecture decoration art is relatively backward, which leads to the obvious distortion of the digitalization of ancient architecture decoration art. In order to improve the digital effect of ancient architecture decoration art, based on neural network, this paper combines the image features to construct a neural network-based ancient architecture decoration art data system model, and graphically expresses the static construction mode and dynamic construction process of the architecture group. Based on this, three-dimensional model reconstruction and scene simulation experiments of architecture groups are realized. In order to verify the performance effect of the system proposed in this paper, it is verified through simulation and performance testing, and data visualization is performed through statistical methods. The result of the study shows that the digitalization effect of the ancient architecture decoration art proposed in this paper is good.

Universals Archive (Universal #1926) indicates a universal tendency for sound symbolism in reference to the expression of diminutives and augmentatives. The research ( Štekauer et al. 2009 ) carried out on European languages has not proved the tendency at all. Therefore, our research was extended to cover three language families – Indo-European, Niger-Congo and Austronesian. A three-step analysis examining different aspects of phonetic symbolism was carried out on a core vocabulary of 35 lexical items. A research sample was selected out of 60 languages. The evaluative markers were analyzed according to both phonetic classification of vowels and consonants and Ultan's and Niewenhuis' conclusions on the dominance of palatal and post-alveolar consonants in diminutive markers. Finally, the data obtained in our sample languages was evaluated by means of a three-dimensional model illustrating the place of articulation of the individual segments.
