The NMR and neutron scattering experiments on YBa 2 Cu 3 O 7 with Li and Zn impurities are compared using a simple framework exhibiting short-range antiferromagnetic correlations. The model parameters are determined by fitting the NMR rate [Formula: see text] of the pure system, and the effective impurity potential is approximated by a static extended form. The results of the calculations are compared with the experimental data, and their implications are discussed.

Results from DFT calculations are in many cases equivalent to experimental data. They describe a set of properties of a phase at a well-defined composition and temperature, T, most often at 0 K. In order to be practically useful in materials design, such data must be fitted to a thermodynamic model for the phase to allow interpolations and extrapolations. The intention of this paper is to give a summary of the state of the art by using the Calphad technique to model thermodynamic properties and calculate phase diagrams, including some models that should be avoided. Calphad models can decribe long range ordering (LRO) using sublattices and there are model parameters that can approximate short range ordering (SRO) within the experimental uncertainty. In addition to the DFT data, there is a need for experimental data, in particular, for the phase diagram, to determine the model parameters. Very small differences in Gibbs energy of the phases, far smaller than the uncertainties in the DFT calculations, determine the set of stable phases at varying composition and T. Thus, adjustment of the DFT results is often needed in order to obtain the correct set of stable phases.

Breakthrough curves of Cl and 3H2O were obtained during steady unsaturated flow in five lysimeters containing an undisturbed coarse sand (Orthic Haplohumod). The experimental data were analyzed in terms of the classical two-parameter convection-dispersion equation and a four-parameter two-region type physical nonequilibrium solute transport model. Model parameters were obtained by both curve fitting and time moment analysis. The four-parameter model provided a much better fit to the data for three soil columns, but performed only slightly better for the two remaining columns. The retardation factor for Cl was about 10 % less than for 3H2O, indicating some anion exclusion. For the four-parameter model the average immobile water fraction was 0.14 and the Peclet numbers of the mobile region varied between 50 and 200. Time moments analysis proved to be a useful tool for quantifying the break through curve (BTC) although the moments were found to be sensitive to experimental scattering in the measured data at larger times. Also, fitted parameters described the experimental data better than moment generated parameter values.

AbstractThe application of a newly proposed generalised neo-Hookean strain energy function to the inflation of incompressible rubber-like spherical and cylindrical shells is demonstrated in this paper. The pressure ($P$ P ) – inflation ($\lambda $ λ or $v$ v ) relationships are derived and presented for four shells: thin- and thick-walled spherical balloons, and thin- and thick-walled cylindrical tubes. Characteristics of the inflation curves predicted by the model for the four considered shells are analysed and the critical values of the model parameters for exhibiting the limit-point instability are established. The application of the model to extant experimental datasets procured from studies across 19th to 21st century will be demonstrated, showing favourable agreement between the model and the experimental data. The capability of the model to capture the two characteristic instability phenomena in the inflation of rubber-like materials, namely the limit-point and inflation-jump instabilities, will be made evident from both the theoretical analysis and curve-fitting approaches presented in this study. A comparison with the predictions of the Gent model for the considered data is also demonstrated and is shown that our presented model provides improved fits. Given the simplicity of the model, its ability to fit a wide range of experimental data and capture both limit-point and inflation-jump instabilities, we propose the application of our model to the inflation of rubber-like materials.

A one-dimensional, steady-state, constant temperature model of diffusion and absorption of CO2 in the intercellular air spaces of a leaf is presented. The model includes two geometrically distinct regions of the leaf interior, corresponding to palisade and spongy mesophyll tissue, respectively. Sun, shade, and intermediate light leaves are modeled by varying the thicknesses of these two regions. Values of the geometric model parameters are obtained by comparing geometric properties of the model with experimental data of other investigators found from dissection of real leaves. The model provides a quantitative estimate of the extent to which the concentration of gaseous CO2 varies locally within the leaf interior.

AbstractAgeing is the dominant risk factor for cardiovascular diseases. A great body of experimental data has been gathered on cellular remodelling in the Ageing myocardium from animals. Very few experimental data are available on age-related changes in the human cardiomyocyte. We have used our combined electromechanical model of the human cardiomyocyte and the population modelling approach to investigate the variability in the response of cardiomyocytes to age-related changes in the model parameters. To generate the model population, we varied nine model parameters and excluded model samples with biomarkers falling outside of the physiological ranges. We evaluated the response to age-related changes in four electrophysiological model parameters reported in the literature: reduction in the density of the K+ transient outward current, maximal velocity of SERCA, and an increase in the density of NaCa exchange current and CaL-type current. The sensitivity of the action potential biomarkers to individual parameter variations was assessed. Each parameter modulation caused an increase in APD, while the sensitivity of the model to changes in GCaL and Vmax_up was much higher than to those in the effects of Gto and KNaCa. Then 60 age-related sets of the four parameters were randomly generated and each set was applied to every model in the control population. We calculated the frequency of model samples with repolarisation anomalies (RA) and the shortening of the electro-mechanical window in the ageing model populations as an arrhythmogenic ageing score. The linear dependence of the score on the deviation of the parameters showed a high determination coefficient with the most significant impact due to the age-related change in the CaL current. The population-based approach allowed us to classify models with low and high risk of age-related RA and to predict risks based on the control biomarkers.

<p>This paper explains an adaptive method for estimation of unknown parameters of transfer function model of any system for finding the parameters. The transfer function of the model with unknown model parameters is considered as the adaptive model whose values are adapted with the experimental data. The minimization of error between the experimental data and the output of the adaptive model have been realised by choosing objective function based on different error criterions. Nelder-Mead optimisation Method is used for adaption algorithm. To prove the method robustness and for students learning, the simple system of separately excited dc motor is considered in this paper. The experimental data of speed response and corresponding current response are taken and transfer function parameters of  dc motors are adapted based on Nelder-Mead optimisation to match with the experimental data. The effectiveness of estimated parameters with different objective functions are compared and validated with machine specification parameters.</p>

Biomechanical simulation and modelling approaches have the possibility to make a meaningful impact within applied sports settings, such as sprinting. However, for this to be realised, such approaches must first undergo a thorough quantitative evaluation against experimental data. We developed a musculoskeletal modelling and simulation framework for sprinting, with the objective to evaluate its ability to reproduce experimental kinematics and kinetics data for different sprinting phases. This was achieved by performing a series of data-tracking calibration (individual and simultaneous) and validation simulations, that also featured the generation of dynamically consistent simulated outputs and the determination of foot-ground contact model parameters. The simulated values from the calibration simulations were found to be in close agreement with the corresponding experimental data, particularly for the kinematics (average root mean squared differences (RMSDs) less than 1.0° and 0.2 cm for the rotational and translational kinematics, respectively) and ground reaction force (highest average percentage RMSD of 8.1%). Minimal differences in tracking performance were observed when concurrently determining the foot-ground contact model parameters from each of the individual or simultaneous calibration simulations. The validation simulation yielded results that were comparable (RMSDs less than 1.0° and 0.3 cm for the rotational and translational kinematics, respectively) to those obtained from the calibration simulations. This study demonstrated the suitability of the proposed framework for performing future predictive simulations of sprinting, and gives confidence in its use to assess the cause-effect relationships of technique modification in relation to performance. Furthermore, this is the first study to provide dynamically consistent three-dimensional muscle-driven simulations of sprinting across different phases.

Abstract The current study focuses on the recovery of zinc ions by solvent extraction in the pulsed contactor. The Zn(II) ions from chloride solution were extracted into the organic phase containing D2EHPA extractant. The resulting data were characterized for the relative amount of (a) pulsed and no-pulsed condition; and (b) flow rate of both phases. Based on the mass balance equations for the column performance description, numerical computations of mass transfer in a disc-donut column were conducted and validated the experimental data for zinc extraction. Four different models, such as plug flow, backflow, axial dispersion, and forward mixing were evaluated in this study. The results showed that the intensification of the process with the pulsed condition increased and achieved higher mass transfer rates. The forward mixing model findings based on the curve fitting approach validated well with the experimental data. The results showed that an increase in pulsation intensity, as well as the phase flow rates, have a positive impact on the performance of the extractor, whereas the enhancement of flow rate led to the reduction of the described model parameters for adverse phase.
