High-level modeling languages are receiving increased industrial and academic interest within several domains, such as chemical engineering, thermo-fluid systems and automotive systems. One such modeling language is Modelica. Modelica is an open language, specifically targeted at multi-domain modeling and model re-use. Key features of Modelica include object oriented modeling, declarative equation
During the second half of the 19th century, both China and Argentina experienced accelerated economic, political, and social changes. To become a 'modern' nation was an integral part of both countries' efforts to deal with these transformations. Education played a key role in this nation-building process: it was expected to shape the national citizen and, thereby, the nation. However, with regard

Full-cycle simulations of a spark ignition engine running on a primary reference fuel have been performed using a two-zone model. A detailed kinetic mechanism is taken into account in each of the zones, while the propagating flame front is calculated from a Wiebe function. The initial conditions for the unburned gas zone were calculated as a mixture of fresh gas and rest gas. The composition of th
Forerunners (precursors) in linear, temporally dispersive, bi-gyrotropic materials are investigated using time-domain techniques. Bi-gyrotropic materials are characterized by twelve constitutive parameters (integral kernels). Specifically, the four susceptibility dyadics are all gyrotropic with a common gyrotropic axis. Pulse propagation along this axis is analyzed using dispersive (noncoupling) w
