Thermal mathematical modelling is discussed in detail. A three-fold purpose was established: (1) to acquaint the new user with the terminology and concepts used in thermal mathematical modelling, (2) to present the more experienced and occasional user with quick formulas and methods for solving everyday problems, coupled with study cases which lend insight into the relationships that exist among the various solution techniques and parameters, and (3) to begin to catalog in an orderly fashion the common formulas which may be applied to automated conversational language techniques.
Reference describes standard formulas, techniques, and terminology used in constructing mathematical models.
The behavior of acoustic attenuation in a solid is related to the electrical transmission line model where the electrical shunt conductance, which is frequency dependent, represents the loss due to the scattering sites in the solid. Results indicate that the absolute value of attenuation at a given frequency depends on both the normalized mean square deviation of the density and bulk modulus of the scattering sites from the ambient medium and the spatial scattering correlation function. Besides establishing the absolute value of attenuation, the spatial correlation function determines the attenuation profile as a function of frequency.
The topics are presented in viewgraph form and include: an overview of research; first year research objectives (starting 5/91); background; current work; accomplishments from 5/91-9/91; and second year research objectives.
Two ideas appear frequently in theories of star formation and galaxy evolution: (1) star formation is nonlocally excitatory, stimulating star formation in neighboring regions by propagation of a dense fragmenting shell or the compression of preexisting clouds; and (2) star formation is nonlocally inhibitory, making H2 regions and explosions which can create low-density and/or high temperature regions and increase the macroscopic velocity dispersion of the cloudy gas. Since it is not possible, given the present state of hydrodynamic modeling, to estimate whether one of these effects greatly dominates the other, it is of interest to investigate the predicted spatial pattern of star formation and its temporal behavior in simple models which incorporate both effects in a controlled manner. The present work presents preliminary results of such a study which is based on lattice galaxy models with various types of nonlocal inhibitory and excitatory couplings of the local SFR to the gas density, temperature, and velocity field meant to model a number of theoretical suggestions.

There are numerous engineering design problems where the use of wires to transfer power and communicate data thru the walls of a structure is prohibitive or significantly difficult that it may require a complex design.
