In the study, we solve the central square of the town Ivančice extent: Palacky square, Comenius Square and surrounding areas of the parish church of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary with a part of Mill Street. The basic principle of the proposal is to create a bright urbanized area with a clearly organized traffic and movement of pedestrians. Square must in future comply with all requirements for functionality the central city area. Must fulfill both functions of assembly as well as commercial and cultural. Being an active center of the city, which will provide its residents an attractive environment for their identification with the place their home. The proposal's emphasis on compact solutions based on the classic city-forming compositions and standards. The main objective is to preserve the integrity of the specified square area as seen historical photographs. Over time, the square was filled with a variety of often inconsistent or improper furniture, greenery and other solitaires, which, in combination with parking across the surface of the square and double necks impairment of the main urban area. The main aim of the project I had solve the traffic situation, cleansing and unification of Square and finally to incorporate revive nearby parish church. The proposal defines the space Palacky Square following the original historical rectangle plan approaching and divides it into three parts: The first part is a central rectangular area, which blended currently fragmented space. This empty space showcases a Baroque plague column and the fountain with the statue of St. Florian. As a counterweight to the plague column and the fountain is in the opposite half of the rectangle designed water feature in the form of three water jets, which creates a water column of a time his height. Water features does not make the water and in the case of holding larger events it is possible to turn off the water element and thereby clear the entire area of central rectangle. Water feature highlights the main entrance to the church. The central rectangular space will be used as the venue for cultural, sporting and market activities. The second part is operating within the traffic lane pedestrian zones defined lighting and street furniture around the perimeter of serving in a restricted mode for supply. The third part of the irregular portion adjacent to the home life partners defined various commercial activities. Within Comenius Square was left a greater number of parking spaces, but that was přeřešeno such a way as to create wider sidewalks along the larger home and a new expansion bays for seating and meeting and commercial purposes neighboring establishments catering zařízení.4 Almost all surfaces are vertically aligned and newly paved granite chipped tiles (using the existing historic paving). The central rectangular space in the newly paved square cut granite blocks stacked into large squares. Proposal emphasizes the use of high quality noble materials such as stone (granite), cast iron, acacia wood.

Washington Square, like The Portrait of a Lady, is an open-ended Henry James novel that concludes ambiguously and unhappily, counter to the trend of many other Victorian novels. While many contemporary Victorian novels center on marriage and inheritance plots, concluding their protagonists' struggles with felicitous performative utterances of "I do" and "I bequeath," Catherine Sloper's future is less clear: at the conclusion of Washington Square, she remains both unmarried and disinherited. Both characters and readers alike seem stymied by Catherine's motivations at the end of the novel, as famously studied in Judith Butler's essay, "Values of Difficulty." Catherine seems calculable, submissive, and guileless at the beginning of the novel--both her father, Dr. Sloper, and her suitor, Morris Townsend, judge her to be good but "decidedly not clever." So what happens over the course of the novel to produce Catherine's infelicitous and incomprehensible outcome? This thesis's performative reading of Washington Square sheds light on the infelicitous and inscrutable conclusion to Catherine's story. At a critical moment in the novel, when her inheritance is at stake, Catherine refuses to be coerced into offering a promise that is demanded from her by her father. "I can't explain," says Catherine," "And I can't promise." This refusal to promise, or refusal to enact a felicitous performative--accompanied by an inability to explain her refusal--is a suspensive and powerful method of disinterpellation. Catherine unmakes herself as a subject in the capitalist ideology of the male antagonists in Washington Square--and thus, becomes incomprehensible to them--by insisting on infelicity. This powerful disinterpellation helps Catherine regain control over her future.

An investigation of the dynamic lift on the central tube in square tube arrays is conducted. Three array spacing ratios with P/ D = 3.37, 2.18 and 1.58, corresponding to large, intermediate and small spacing ratios are investigated. These three classes exhibit specific flow characteristics and distinct behavior during acoustic resonance. The aim of the present investigation is to determine the effect of the acoustic pressure field and its contribution to dynamic lift during acoustic resonance. During acoustic resonance there are two sources of dynamic lift. One source is provided by the sound field. The standing wave excited during resonance causes dynamic lift from the acoustic pressure distribution on the surface of the cylinder. In the absence of flow, loud speakers are used to excite the first transverse acoustic mode over a range of sound pressure levels, effectively determining the relationship between the resultant dynamic lift and sound pressure level of the acoustic standing wave. The dynamic lift due to the sound field is well predicted by numerical simulation of the acoustic pressure distribution in the tube array. Using the validated numerical simulation it is possible to extend the results to a large range of cylinder diameter to wavelength ratios. The other source of dynamic lift is provided by the periodic flow though the tube array, known as vortex shedding, which is enhanced during resonance. The total dynamic lift is dependant on the phase shift between the sound field and aerodynamic lift components. For small and intermediate tube arrays, acoustic resonance occurs before coincidence of the natural vortex shedding frequency and the acoustic mode. For the large tube array, frequency coincidence occurs within the resonance range. The phase shift between the dynamic lift due to sound and that due to the aerodynamic lift is small for the pre-coincidence resonance range observed for small and intermediate tube arrays and therefore the total dynamic lift is well predicted by the sum of the magnitudes of the dynamic lift due to the sound field and aerodynamic lift components caused by vortex shedding. Past the frequency of coincidence, a phase jump occurs in the aerodynamic lift causing a large phase shift between the sound field and aerodynamic lift components in the large spacing ratio array. The summation of the aerodynamic lift and the lift due to the sound field over predicts the total dynamic lift measured during acoustic resonance in this case. The present results are used to develop a conservative guideline for estimating the total dynamic lift during acoustic resonance. / Thesis / Master of Applied Science (MASc)

In this thesis, we study non-relativistic scalar fields in (3+1) space-time subjected to an inverse-square potential. We use a point-particle effective field theory (PPEFT) framework to describe the scalar fields coupling to a point-particle in different cases of interest. In Chapter 3, we encode particle conversion for both Schrodinger and Klein-Gordon fields in a two-species toy model and find that the point-particle couplings all must be renormalized with respect to the radial cut-off near the origin. In addition to this, we find that cross sections have an interesting dependence on the ratio k_{out}/k_{in} of outgoing and incoming momenta. In certain regimes at low energies, we found inelastic behaviour \sigma_{S}^{(in)} ~ O(1) and \sigma_{KG}^{(in)} ~ 1/k_{in} for Schrodinger and Klein-Gordon fields respectively. In Chapter 4, we study the case of a single-particle non-self-adjoint PPEFT whose formulation is taken to next-to-leading order. We find that the point-particle couplings continue to require renormalization and present a series of relevant computations such as field equations, boundary conditions and renormalization runnings, concluding with an exposition of bound state energies, scattering lengths and cross sections. Similar to what was found in Chapter 3, a 1/k_{\text{in}} enhancement is observed in a particular regime of the PPEFT in Chapter 4. In addition, we find that the observables computed therein are modified from what was found in other papers [3][13], where only the leading PPEFT term was kept. These results may provide relevance for future calculations in more complex reactions such as baryon number violation and monopole catalysis. / Thesis / Master of Science (MSc)

The purpose of this study is to numerically investigate the turbulence modulation of polydisperse particles in a square particle-laden jet. Turbulence modulation describes the effects of fluctuating velocity and intensity when the particles and continuous fluid interact in a turbulent flow field. The rate at which turbulence modulation is altered is dependent upon parameters such as particle size, mass loading, Stokes number, coupling, volume fraction and mechanisms of turbulence modulation. This study modifies the analytical model developed by Yarin and Hetsroni (1993) to account for the transitional drag regime for coarse polydisperse particles. The particles under study are dilute, inert and spherical, with relatively high Stokes numbers, and classified as having two-way coupling with the fluid. The new analytical model is compared to numerical results using the Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) software FLUENT (ANSYS, Inc.). The turbulence model employed is the standard k-ε model. This study will analyze the effects of varying mass content and particle ratios to investigate how turbulence modulation is influenced. The new model and the CFD results show good agreement in the cases where the mass contents of each particle size are equal. This study will also look into the effects of polydispersion, and the concentration distribution, for indoor air applications. It was found that, in certain cases, the monodisperse assumption slightly over-predicts the concentration distribution in the enclosed region. / Master of Science

Let P be an n×n partial Latin square every non-empty cell of which lies in a fixed row r, a fixed column c or contains a fixed symbol s. Assume further that s is the symbol of cell (r,c) in P. We prove that P is completable to a Latin square if n≥8 and n is divisible by 4, or n≤7 and n∉{3,4,5}. Moreover, we present a polynomial algorithm for the completion of such a partial Latin square.

In this study, molecular dynamics (MD) simulations was employed to investigate (5,5), (10,10) single-walled nanocoils and (5,5)@(10,10) double-walled carbon nanocoils. The study can be arranged into two parts¡G In part I: Investigate the mechanical properties of (5,5), (10,10) single-walled nanocoils and (5,5)@(10,10) double-walled carbon nanocoils. The second reactive empirical bond order (REBO) potential was employed to model the interaction between carbon atoms. The contours of atomic slip vector and sequential slip vector were used to investigate the structural variations at different strains during the tension process. The yielding stress, maximum tensile strength, and Young¡¦s modulus were determined from the tensile stress-strain profiles. The results show that the nanocoils have superelastic characteristics to the carbon nanotube in the same tube diameter. In part II: Investigate the diffusion behavior of water molecules confined inside narrow (5,5) and (10,10) carbon nanocoils under different tensile strains. The condensed-phase optimized molecular potentials for atomistic simulation studies (COMPASS) potential was employed to model the interaction between carbon-carbon atoms¡Acarbon atoms-water molecules and water-water molecules. To analysis the kinetic behavior of water molecules in two carbon nanocoils, the diffusion coefficients, square displacement (SD) and mean square displacement (MSD) of water molecules were calculated. The results show that diffusion coefficient of water will increase with the strains of carbon nanocoils. However, the diffusion coefficient has a significant decrease in a large strain due to the structural deformation of carbon nanocoils. The diffusion behaviors of water inside the (5,5) and (10,10) carbon nanotubes were also investigated to compare the results in (5,5) and (10,10) carbon nanotubes. Our results indicate that two carbon nanocoils have a lower diffusion coefficient of water than that of carbon nanotubes because the geometry of carbon nanocoil is easily to block up the diffusion of water molecules.

This paper is concerned with the problem of finding an experimental design for discrimination between two rival models and for model robustness that minimizing the maximum bias simultaneously in binary response experiments. The criterion for model discrimination is based on the $T$-optimality criterion proposed in Atkinson and Fedorov (1975), which maximizes the sum of squares of deviations between the two rival models while the criterion for model robustness is based on minimizing the maximum probability bias of the two rival models. In this paper we obtain the optimum designs satisfy the above two criteria for some commonly used rival models in binary response experiments such as the probit and logit models etc.
