A parallel, three-dimensional electrostatic PIC code is developed for largescale electric propulsion simulations using parallel supercomputers. Two algorithms are implemented in the code, a standard finite-difference (FD) PIC and a newly developed immersed-finite-element (IFE) PIC. The IFE-PIC is designed to handle complex boundary conditions accurately while maintaining the computational speed...

Urine protein electrophoresis (UPE) is often considered to have limited usefulness in evaluating proteinuria that is not associated with gammopathies. Unusual protein bands that are detected by UPE are commonly characterized by immunofixation electrophoresis (IFE). In this paper, electrophoretic gel patterns are shown to illustrate the greater sensitivity of IFE, compared to UPE. However, UPE r...

We present higher degree immersed finite element (IFE) spaces that can be used to solve two dimensional second order elliptic interface problems without requiring the mesh to be aligned with the material interfaces. The interpolation errors in the proposed piecewise p degree spaces yield optimal O(hp+1) and O(h) convergence rates in the L2 and broken H1 norms, respectively, under mesh refinemen...

Based on the conceptual design of Laser Driven IFE Power Plant, the technical and physical issues have been examined. R&D on key issues that affect the feasibility of power plant have been proceeded taking into account the collaboration in the field of laser driver, fuel pellet, reaction chamber and system design. It is concluded that the technical feasibility of IFE power plant seems to be rea...

This report contains a summary of the 2 Research Coordination Meeting for the Coordinated Research Project entitled, “The Elements of Inertial Fusion Energy (IFE) Power Plants,” held at the IAEA Headquarters, Vienna, Austria, from 4 to 7 November 2003. The goal of the project is to promote and support international collaboration on various aspects of IFE power plants with a focus on addressing ...

introduction: the internal evaluation is a process to improve the quality of the education using the collection and judgment of data. considering some principles about educational measurement and data collection causes better recognizing of this process. in this study, we conducted the internal evaluation of department of health care management, school of allied medical sciences in tehran unive...

A novel Immersed-Finite-Element Particle-in-Cell (IFE-PIC) simulation tool is presented in this paper for plasma surface interaction where charged plasma particles are represented by a number of simulation particles. The Particle-in-Cell (PIC) method is one of the major particle models for plasma simulation, which utilizes a huge number of simulation particles and hence provides a first-princip...

In this paper, an adaptive mesh refinement technique is developted and analyzed for the non-conforming immersed finite element (IFE) method proposed in [25]. The IFE method was developed for solving the second order elliptic boundary value problem with interfaces across which the coefficient may be discontinuous. The IFE method was based on a triangulation that does not need to fit the interfac...

BACKGROUND It is common practice in most chemical pathology laboratories for reflective immunofixation electrophoresis (IFE) to occur following the detection or suspicion of a paraprotein on serum protein electrophoresis (SPEP). The chemical pathology laboratory at Inkosi Albert Luthuli Central Hospital (IALCH) in Durban, South Africa, is currently the only non-private laboratory in the KwaZulu...
