The promise of multi-class communication networks is gradually becoming a reality. The term multi-class means that the network provides different classes of service that can support diverse application requirements and ...
COMPUTATIONAL INVESTIGATIONS OF RED BLOOD CELL MECHANICAL TRAUMA AND OF DISEASED RENAL ARTERY HEMODYNAMICS
(2011)
In this work, Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) and Fluid Structure Interaction (FSI) methods were used to study two separate problems: red blood cell damage in flow and the hemodynamics of diseased renal arteries; ...

ON THE FURTHER STUDIES OF SUITABLE STORM-SCALE 3DVAR DATA ASSIMILATION FOR THE PREDICTION OF TORNADIC THUNDERSTORMS
(2011)
Storm-scale 3DVAR data assimilation and NWP for the prediction of tornadic supercell thunderstorms still faces many challenges. Some fundamental issues are still not thoroughly (or explicitly) investigated. To name a few: ...
Applications of Gaussian Mixture Model to Weather Observations
(2011)
The estimation of weather parameters such as attenuation and rainfall rates from weather radar data has been based mainly on deterministic regression models. The applications of a Bayesian approach to weather parameters ...
