the burgers’ equation is a simplified form of the navier-stokes equations that very well represents their non-linear features. in this paper, numerical methods of the adomian decomposition and the modified crank – nicholson, used for solving the one-dimensional burgers’ equation, have been compared. these numerical methods have also been compared with the analytical method. in contrast to...

This paper presents a PC-based PCR thermal cycler with a host-local architecture, where a PC is employed as the host. The local system only executes the thermal cycling process and the PC is responsible for the management of PCR protocols with a convenient GUI. The presented host-local system greatly reduces the development time and the maintenance cost, providing an economical PCR thermal cycler.

Thermal factors of protein atoms as determined by X-ray crystallographic techniques show a tendency to be larger in side chains with unfavourable local conformations rather than in those displaying conformational energy minima. It follows that side chain atoms are more mobile if they are in a non-rotameric configuration and that the stereochemistry of protein structures cannot be fully assessed...

Since the introduction of radiofrequency ablation (RFA) for the treatment of liver tumors at the end of the 1990s, indications for local ablation techniques have been extended to other organs, in particular, the lungs, kidneys and bones. These techniques have also been improved, in particular to try and overcome the limitations of radiofrequency techniques, especially the significant decrease i...

Pech: There are indeed distinct limitations of thermal ablation such as radiofrequency ablation (RFA), despite RFA being the most frequently used local ablation tool available. However, in many cases anatomical locations with adjacent thermosensitive structures or the size of a specific lesion represent strong limitations in daily routine, requiring more efforts in the development of non-therma...

Stabilization of silicon micro-resonators is a key requirement for their inclusion in larger photonic integrated circuits. In particular, thermal refractive index shift in non-linear applications can detune devices from their optimal working point. A cavity stabilization scheme using a micro-processor-based feedback control loop is presented based on a local thermal heater element on-chip. Usin...

The onset of double diffusive convection in a viscoelastic fluid-saturated porous layer is studied when the fluid and solid phase are not in local thermal equilibrium. The modified Darcy model is used for the momentum equation and a two-field model is used for energy equation each representing the fluid and solid phases separately. The effect of thermal non-equilibrium on the onset of double di...

background: irreversible electroporation (ire) is a novel tumor ablation technique. ire is associated with high electrical fields and is often reported in conjunction with thermal damage caused by joule heating. for good response to surgery it is crucial to produce minimum thermal damage in both tumoral and healthy tissues named non-thermal irreversible electroporation(ntire). non-thermal irrev...

abstract morphological river models are designed to provide physical insight into the morphological response and to assist river engineers and managers in the design, operation and maintenance of river systems. here deterministic modeling weak for a dynamic and stochastic of nature river environment. specially, these could not predict the exact shape of the river bed, specially e.g. for braided...
