The basic formulations used in the description of thin walls and small apertures in simulations based on the Transmission-Line Modelling (TLM) method are described. It is shown that eecient and accurate methods are available which exhibit a reasonable balance between accuracy and computational eeciency. Results of simulations are presented showing the shielding eeectiveness of cabinets. Of all ...

Within the framework of Natural Spoken Dialog systems, we propose in this paper a method which automatically builds, from a training corpus, a set of Language Models (LMs) organized as a binary tree and called a Tree-based LM (TLM). Each LM corresponds to a specific dialogue situation, where the general LM is attached to the root node and the leaves represent the more specialized ones. Such LMs...

Typical features of the Transmission Line Matrix (TLM) algorithm in connection with stub loading techniques and prone to be hidden by common frequency domain formulations are elucidated within the propagator approach. In particular, the latter reflects properly the perturbative character of the TLM scheme and its relation to gauge field models. Internal ‘gauge’ degrees of freedom are made expli...

The treatment of supraglottic carcinoma remains a controversial issue. Five accepted surgical and non-surgical oncological treatments have been currently established: standard horizontal supraglottic laryngectomy (HSL), supraglottic CO2 laser microsurgery (TLM), transoral robotic surgery, radiotherapy alone and radiotherapy in combination with chemotherapy. Some studies have shown that complica...

Thiolactomycin (TLM) is a thiotetronate antibiotic that selectively targets bacterial fatty acid biosynthesis through inhibition of the β-ketoacyl-acyl carrier protein synthases (KASI/II) that catalyse chain elongation on the type II (dissociated) fatty acid synthase. It has proved effective in in vivo infection models of Mycobacterium tuberculosis and continues to attract interest as a templat...

A detailed description of the development of the tangent linear model (TLM) and its adjointmodel of the Relaxed Arakawa-Schubert moisture parameterization package used in NASA GEOS-1 C-Grid GCM (Version 5.2) is presented. The notational conventions used in the TLM and its adjoint codes are described in detail. iii

Time-to-market pressure and productivity gap force vendors and researchers to improve embedded system design methodology. Current used design method, Register Transfer Level (RTL), is no longer be adequate to comply with embedded system design necessity. It needs a new methodology for facing the lack of RTL. In this paper, a new methodology of hardware embedded system modeling process is design...

We developed a nanofluidics-based enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) device and realized quantification of countable number of molecules by combining enzymatic amplification reaction and ultrasensitive detection with a differential interference contrast thermal lens microscope (DIC-TLM). Our method will contribute to single cell analysis field, in particular for ultrasensitive protein co...
