A Fluid-Structure Interaction model is studied for aortic flow, based on Koiter’s shell model for the structure, Navier–Stokes equations for the fluid and transpiration for the coupling. It accounts for wall deformation while yet working on a fixed geometry. The model is established first. Then a numerical approximation is proposed and some tests are given. The model is also used for optima…
This book is not just one of the many introductions to Human Resource Management that are published, year after year, for use in HRM classes. Authors of those introduc- tions face many challenges, such as the need to produce something that is both theoreti- cally sound and practically valuable, or to find a way to integrate discussions on a vari- ety of topics into one comprehensible teaching t…

In retrospect, some saw the collapse of the dot com bubble as a portent of the financial meltdown and the collapse of confidence in the future. In the United States there is a dour bipartisan consensus that escalating special interest politics, budget deficits, economic inse…
The President of The University of Memphis (UofM) has primary responsibility for effectively managing any crisis that might occur on or affect the UofM campus. Disasters or emergencies can happen suddenly, creating a situation in which normal operational and support services for the University may become overwhelmed. During crises, the University requires processes that address the needs of eme…
