Researchers have suggested that the fate of a shock-induced wave front at the edge of a “virtual anode” (a region hyperpolarized by the shock) is a key factor determining success or failure during defibrillation of the heart. In this paper, we use a simple one-dimensional computer model to examine propagation speed through a hyperpolarized region. Our goal is to test the hypothesis that rapid propagation through a virtual anode can cause failure of propagation at the edge of the virtual anode. The calculations support this hypothesis and suggest that the time constant of the sodium inactivation gate is an important parameter. These results may be significant in understanding the mechanism of the upper limit of vulnerability.

PAVDRN is a computer model that determines the speed at which hydroplaning will be initiated on a section of highway pavement. It is intended to be used by highway engineers before final geometric design to (a) indicate the location of the worst incidence of hydroplaning that is likely to occur on a given section and (b) to rapidly assess different geometric configurations of a section and pavement materials to select a design that will minimize hydroplaning potential. The model is based upon a one-dimensional, steady-state form of the kinematic wave equation. This equation is used in conjunction with relationships for Manning's n that account for the nature of the shallow flow over highway pavements. Ultimately, water-film thickness along a maximum flowpath length is used in empirical expressions to determine the speed at which hydroplaning is likely to occur along this path. The path is determined by analyzing the geometry of the pavement section. Five different geometric sections can be analyzed: ( a) tangent section, ( b) superelevated curve, ( c) transition section, ( d) vertical crest curve, and ( e) vertical sag curve. The user interface was written in Microsoft Visual Basic Version 3.0. It uses context-sensitive help screens. The algorithms for water-film thickness and hydroplaning potential were written in FORTRAN 77.

The dynamic characteristics of catheter-transducer systems using rigid tubes with compliance lumped in the transducer and oscillatory flow of fluid in rigid tubes were analyzed. A digital computer model based on one dimensional laminar oscillatory flow was developed and verified by exact solution of the Navier-Stokes Equation. Experimental results indicated that the damping ratio and resistance is much higher at higher frequencies of oscillation than predicted by the one dimensional model. An empirical correction factor was developed and incorporated into the computer model to correct the model to the experimental data. Amplitude of oscillation was found to have no effect on damping ratio so it was concluded that the increased damping ratio and resistance at higher frequencies was not due to turbulence but to two dimensional flow effects. Graphs and equations were developed to calculate damping ratio and undamped natural frequency of a catheter-transducer system from system parameters. Graphs and equations were also developed to calculate resistance and inertance for oscillatory flow in rigid tubes from system parameters and frequency of oscillation.

“Dynamical mixing”, i.e. relaxation of a stellar phase space distribution through interaction with the mean gravitational field, is numerically investigated for a one-dimensional self-gravitating stellar gas. Qualitative results are presented in the form of a motion picture of the flow of phase points (representing homogeneous slabs of stars) in two-dimensional phase space.

Recent progress in the electron-mirror microscopy (EMM), e.g., an improvement of its resolving power together with an increase of the magnification makes it useful for investigating the ferroelectric domain physics. English has recently observed the domain texture in the surface layer of BaTiO3. The present authors ) have developed a theory by which one can evaluate small one-dimensional electric fields and/or topographic step heights in the crystal surfaces from their EMM pictures. This theory was applied to a quantitative study of the surface pattern of BaTiO3).
