A method is developed for solving the two dimensional Helmholtz equation in a duct with varying cross-section region bounded by a curved top and flat bottom, having one region inside. To compute the propagation of sound waves in a curved duct with a curved internal interface is difficult problem. One method is to transform the wave equation into a solvable form and making the curved interface p...

We examine the effect of Dean number on inertial focusing spherical particles suspended in flow through curved microfluidic ducts. Previous modelling particle migration ducts assumed rate was small enough that a leading-order approximation background with respect to produces reasonable model. Herein, we extend our model situations involving moderate (in microfluidics context) while Reynolds rem...

A diallel cross is a set of all possible matings between several genotypes, which may be individuals, clones, homozygous lines, etc. Such crosses are used to estimate general and specific combining abilities of lines and crosses respectively. For ‘n’ inbreed lines, the possible F1’s are n(n–1)/2, which are to be tested in a suitably replicated randomized design. With facilities available for te...

a r t i c l e i n f o Recent findings in protein structure prediction have revealed a new class of fibrous proteins called beta-solenoids. In stark resemblance to amyloid structures and prion proteins, these self-assembling peptides feature a triangular cross-sectional structure with non-specific biological significance. Using basic geometric and mechanical arguments and finite element simulati...
