The anisotropy of wood creates a complex problem for solving heat and mass transfer problems that require analyses be based on fundamental material properties of the wood structure. Most heat transfer models use average thermal properties across either the radial or tangential directions and have not differentiated the effects of cellular alignment...

... (vertical in Fig. 2). Whereas, softwood cells are much less aligned in the tangential direction (horizontal in Fig. 2) and this alignment or misalignment between cells varies from 0% to 50% maximum. A fully aligned cellular structure model is shown in Fig. 4. Conversely, a fully misaligned or 50% offset between the two rows of cells is shown in Fig. ...

This paper proposes an encryption scheme based on a new 2-dimensional chaotic map. The new 2D chaotic map is derived from the idea of giving the two outputs of a 2D logistic map to two separate 1-dimensional logistic maps. The resulting 2D chaos based pseudo-random number generator is demonstrated to have significantly better randomness and unpredi...

We construct a Riemannian metric on the $ 2 $-dimensional torus, such that for infinitely many eigenvalues of the Laplace-Beltrami operator, a corresponding eigenfunction has infinitely many isolated critical points.

This test extends the evaluation of transport schemes from prescribed advection of inert scalars to reactive species. The test consists of transporting two interacting chemical species in the Nair and Lauritzen 2-D idealized flow field. The sources and sinks for these two species are given by a simple, but non-linear, "toy" chemistry that represent...

Recent increases in the use of carbon fiber reinforced plastics, especially for high-temperature applications, has induced new challenges in evaluating their mechanical properties. The effects of temperature on the shear performance of 3-dimensional orthogonal and 2-dimensional plain woven composites were compared in this study through double-notch...
