Design of electromagnetic (EM) actuators often involves solving a magnetic field problem. This paper presents an adaptive meshless method (MLM) that inherits many advantages of the finite-element method (FEM) but needs no explicit mesh structure for design of EM actuators. Specifically, the paper offers a technique to estimate the distribution of numerical errors and a scheme that automatically...

The allelic variations in a diversity panel of 353 potato accessions, including 256 accessions belonging to Solanum tuberosum sub spp. tuberosum, 49 andigena, and 48 Indian varieties were analysed using 25 simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers. SSR profiles revealed high levels polymorphism distinctness among the studied. A total 343 alleles markers observed highly diverse tetraploid accessions....

After injection of 10(8) live Mycobacterium lepraemurium (MLM) into the left hind footpad of mice, there is development of local swelling attributable to a granuloma of the cell-mediated immunity type. Concomitant intravenous inoculation of live MLM delays and may even suppress footpad swelling, the effects being proportional to the intravenous dose of organisms. Concomitant footpad infection a...

Multilevel modeling (MLM) is frequently used to detect group differences, such as an intervention effect in a pre-test–post-test cluster-randomized design. Group differences on the post-test scores are detected by controlling for pre-test scores as a proxy variable for unobserved factors that predict future attributes. The pre-test and post-test scores that are most often used in MLM are summed...

In order to continue our studies in coordination chemistry with pteridine derivatives, four new complexes with general formula MX2(pteridine)2 /nH2O /mCH3CN (M /Cu, Pd, Pt) have been synthesized by reaction of 1-methyllumazine (MLM) and 1,6,7trimethyllumazine (MLMD) and different halide salts in acetonitrile solutions. These compounds have been characterized by means of analytical techniques (e...

In this paper, we propose to use a multi-longitudinal-mode (MLM) laser as the source of an infinite-impulse response (IIR) microwave photonic filter (MPF) to obtain GHz level free spectral range (FSR). The response function of such an IIR-MPF and the degree of coherence of the laser are discussed theoretically. The degree of coherence of the MLM laser shows a periodic structure which is signifi...

This paper reports findings from an AHRC-funded project into the use of more than one language in research projects. Using 35 seminar presentations and 25 researcher profiles, we investigated how researchers from differing disciplines became aware of the possibilities, complexities, and emerging practices of researching where more than one language is used: for example, in initial research desi...

Variations of heavy metals concentrations (Pb, Zn, Ni and Cd) in suspended matter as well as the physical properties (temperature, salinity, dissolved oxygen and pH) at five coastal sites and one reference station (offshore) were measured on seasonal base of the year 2005. Seasonal variations of seawater temperature, salinity, pH and dissolved oxygen were significant different, meanwhile; spati...
