an agrobacterium-mediated transient gene expression assay was carried out in alfalfa (medicago sativa) leaves for expression of a chimeric gene encoding a part of capsid protein of foot and mouth disease virus called vp1. the plant leaves were transformed via agroinfiltration procedure. the presence of the foreign gene and its expression in transformed plants were evaluated by polymerase chain ...

this paper is devoted to study of a partial differential equation governing panel motion in supersonic flow. this pde can be transformed to an ode by means of a galerkin method. here by using a criterion which is closely related to the routh-hurwitz criterion, we investigate the mentioned transformed ode from hopf bifurcation point of view. in fact we obtain a region for existence of simple hop...

long-throated flumes are measurement structures often used in water and wastewater systems to determine the flow discharge. the head-discharge relationship of long-throated flumes is traditionally determined following the critical flow theory and the boundary layer concept. after a review of the traditional approach and an analysis of the approximate assumptions of the boundary layer approach, ...

We develop a method, based on Darboux’ and Liouville’s works, to find first integrals and/or invariant manifolds for a physically relevant class of dynamical systems, without making any assumption on these elements’ form. We apply it to three dynamical systems: Lotka–Volterra, Lorenz and Rikitake. I. HISTORICAL OVERVIEW. In, Roger Liouville and A. Tresse developed a method for deciding whether ...

Classical nite-diierence methods apply only over regions that are rectangular or decomposed in several rectangular subdomains. We call a nite-diierence scheme direct if it can be applied over any region decomposed by means of a logically-rectangular grid. We introduce a second-order and easy-to-use direct scheme to solve boundary-value problems. Deduction of the method is elementary and its res...
