Lie symmetries of a system arising in plasma physics

Lie group classification for a diffusion‐type system that has applications in plasma physics is derived. The classification depends on the values of 5 parameters that appear in the system. Similarity reductions are presented. Certain initial value problems are reduced to problems with the governing equations being ordinary differential equations. Examples of potential symmetries are also presented.

Regional, Single Point, and Global Blow-Up for the Fourth-Order Porous Medium Type Equation with Source

Blow-up behaviour for the fourth-order quasilinear porous medium equation with source,ut=-（｜u｜^nu）xxxx＋｜u｜^p-1u in R×R＋,where n 〉 0, p 〉 1, is studied. Countable and finite families of similarity blow-up patterns of the form us（x,t）=（T-t）^-1/p-1f（y）,where y=x/（T-t）^β＇ β=p-（n＋1）/4（p-1）,which blow-up as t → T^- 〈∞ are described. These solutions explain key features of regional （for p = n＋1）, single point （for p 〉 n＋1）, and global （for p ∈ （1,n＋1））blowup. The concepts and various variational, bifurcation, and numerical approaches for revealing the structure and multiplicities of such blow-up patterns are presented.     

Reverse fingerprinting, similarity searching by group fusion and fingerprint bit importance

Summary Recent research has shown that using data fusion rules in fingerprint-based similarity searching can improve results over traditional searches. Group fusion scores, which use multiple reference compounds, have in particular been shown to be quite effective in increasing enrichment rates over single reference structure based searches. In this paper, the effectiveness of using data fusion with multiple reference compounds to increase similarity search recall rates was investigated using 44 biological targets and four different 2D fingerprinting systems, including a new 2D typed triangle fingerprinting system introduced here. Scaffold-hopping abilities using data fusion rules were investigated using eight (8) different classes of scaffolds active against cGMP phosphodiesterase isoform 5 (PDE5). An approach to using the reference group for ranking and visualizing important fingerprints bits, or reverse fingerprinting, was presented, and used to score and visualize important pharmacophore features within sample active molecules. Finally, similarity statistics within the reference groups were investigated and compared to recall rates.     

Modeling complexity in musical rhythm

This article constructs a tree structure for the music rhythm using the L‐system. It models the structure as an automata and derives its complexity. It also solves the complexity for the L‐system. This complexity can resolve the similarity between trees. This complexity serves as a measure of psychological complexity for rhythms. It resolves the music complexity of various compositions including the Mozart effect K488. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Complexity, 2010     

Casson fluid flow and heat transfer over a nonlinearly stretching surface

A boundary layer analysis is presented for non-Newtonian fluid flow and heat transfer over a nonlinearly stretching surface. The Casson fluid model is used to characterize the non-Newtonian fluid behavior. By using suitable transformations, the governing partial differential equations corresponding to the momentum and energy equations are converted into non-linear ordinary differential equations. Numerical solutions of these equations are obtained with the shooting method. The effect of increasing Casson parameter is to suppress the velocity field. However the temperature is enhanced with the increasing Casson parameter.
