Addendum to: “The response of aquifers to periodic forcing”, 18(3), 125–146, 1995

Even though the original paper (Townley, 1995) contained no significant mathematical errors, this Addendum has been prepared (i) to give readers access to 3D graphics that are of much higher quality than are available online, (ii) to provide access to Mathematica notebook files in both .nb and .pdf formats, that demonstrate the use of Mathematica to obtain the six published solutions and to produce high quality graphics and animations to illustrate the solutions, and (iii) to explain and correct a number of minor errors in the original paper, mainly in labelling of axes and curves in Figures.

A New Approach in Differential transformation method with application on MHD flow in non-Darcy medium between porous parallel plates considering hall current

The study of fluid flow in non-Darcy porous medium subjected to Hall current is very important in scientific and engineering applications such as water filters, groundwater discharge in aquifers, petroleum engineering, MHD generators and chemical engineering. Forchheimer model is needed at high flow rate, where, flow will exhibit non-linearity with respect to velocity which make Darcy law inapplicable at these conditions. In this case, the momentum equations become non-linear. The classical differential transformation method transforms the non-linear differential equations to a non-linear algebraic system which gives more than one solution and may be unstable that leads to divergence of the required solution. The novelty of present method that it is a power series solution avoiding solution multiplicity and divergence by a linearization technique that is applied on non-linear governing equations to obtain the unique and convergent solution. The uniqueness, convergence and stability of the new technique are tested by comparisons with previously available works and it is also verified by a fourth order accurate finite difference (FOFDM) solution. The effects flow parameters on the velocity and friction factor are illustrated. The values of parameters in the present work are chosen according to: the available previous results, the power of the persent method to compute over a lagre range of parameters and the distinctiveness between curves in figures.

Prognostic CMR parameters for heart failure and arrhythmias in large cohort of well treated thalssemia major patients

Purpose: Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance (CMR) plays a key role in the management of thalassemia major (TM), allowing to assess myocardial iron overload (MIO), biventricular function, atrial dimensions, and myocardial fibrosis. We determined the predictive value of CMR parameters for heart failure (HF) and arrhythmias in TM. Methods: We followed prospectively 537 patients enrolled in the MIOT network. Fifty patients were excluded because a cardiac complication was present at the time of the first CMR. All variables associated with the outcome at the univariate model were placed in the multivariate model and ruled out if they did not significantly improve the model's adjustment. Results: At baseline the mean age was 29.5±9.0 years and 222 were males. The mean follow-up time was 58±18 months. After the first CMR scan only the 37.8% of the patients did not change the chelator or the frequency/dosage. We recorded 19 episodes of HF. In the multivariate analysis the independent predictive factors were an homogeneous pattern of MIO (vs no MIO) (HR=5.81 P=0.014), global heart T2* 20 ms) (HR=6.19 P=0.003), myocardial fibrosis (HR=4.76 P=0.003; Kaplan–Meier curve in Figure) and ventricular dysfunction (HR=3.21 P=0.029). Arrhythmias (all supraventicular hyperhyperkinetic) occurred in 19 patients. In the multivariate analysis the independent predictive factors were male sex (HR=3.17 P=0.047) and atrial dilation (HR=3.07 P=0.026). ![Figure][1] Conclusion: We detected few cardiac events thanks to a CMR-guided, patient-specific adjustment of the chelation therapy. Severe and homogeneous MIO, myocardial fibrosis and ventricular dysfunction identify patients at high risk of HF. Heart T2* doesn't have any power in predicting arrhythmias while male sex and atrial dilation are independent prognosticators. [1]: pending:yes

The Effect of the Sea and Land Water on the Soil Temperature

The author investigated the relation between the distance from the shore or bank to the station (D) and the thermal conductivity which is here represented by the amplitude ratio of soil temperatures (A3/A1). (AX means the annual amplitude of soil temperature at x m depth. Data of 34 stations in Japan are available for this study.) As a result, the curve in figure suggests that the thermal conductivity depends upon the soil moisture so long as the distance (D) can be regarded as a function of moisture; but near the shore or bank, the excess of moisture lessens the thermal conductivity due to the increased heat capacity.
