This paper presents a novel application of magnetic particles for biosensing, called label-acquired magnetorotation (LAM). This method is based on a combination of the traditional sandwich assay format with the asynchronous magnetic bead rotation (AMBR) method. In label-acquired magnetorotation, an analyte facilitates the binding of a magnetic label bead to a nonmagnetic solid phase sphere, for...

The data augmentation (DA) algorithm is considered a useful Markov chain Monte Carlo algorithm that sometimes suffers from slow convergence. It is often possible to convert a DA algorithm into a sandwich algorithm that is computationally equivalent to the DA algorithm, but converges much faster. Theoretically, the reversible Markov chain that drives the sandwich algorithm is at least as good as...

Punching experiments on wide honeycomb sandwich beams were performed to evaluate the predictive capabilities of a newly developed constitutive model in structural applications. The employed constitutive model for plastically com-pressible orthotropic materials accounts for both non-uniform hardening and softening associated with stressing in different directions. This feature is vital when asse...

In this study, a sandwich beam with periodic multiple dissipative resonators in the sandwich core material is investigated for broadband wave mitigation and/or absorption. An analytical approach based on the transfer matrix method and Bloch theorem is developed for both infinite and finite sandwich structures. Wave attenuation constants are theoretically obtained to examine the effects of vario...

The method of Fourier analysis is combined with the Galerkin method for solving the two-dimensional elasticity equations for a sandwich thermal protection system (TPS) insulation panel with foam core subjected to transverse loads. The variation of the Young s modulus through the thickness is given by a polynomial in the thickness coordinate and the Poisson s ratio is assumed to be constant. The...

We investigate the supersecondary structure of a large group of proteins, the so-called sandwich proteins. The analysis of a large number of such proteins has led us to propose a set of rules that can be used to predict the possible arrangements of strands in the two beta-sheets forming a given sandwich structure. These rules imply the existence of certain invariant supersecondary substructures...

Effect of time dependent normal transpiration on the problem of unsteady viscous flow and heat transfer in the vicinity of an axisymmetric stagnation point of an infinite circular cylinder moving simultaneously with time-depended angular and axial velocities and with time-dependent wall temperature or wall heat flux are investigated. The impinging free stream is steady with a strain rate . A re...

introduction nowadays, due to higher environmental pollution and decreasing fossil fuels many countries make decisions to use renewable fuels and restrict using of fossil fuels. renewable fuels generally produce from biological sources. biodiesel is an alternative diesel fuel derived from the transesterification of vegetable oils, animal fats, or waste frying oils. considering the differences be...

Extracting useful and robust feature points from a cylinder image for 3D pose determination is a relatively difficult task, since there are no feature points or lines on the cylinder. In this study, a key vector from a cylinder image is found to yield a transformation. The cylinder is then "reprojected" from the original image to obtain a new image using the transformation. The new image reveal...

The exact solution is found for the Stefan problem of inwards freezing of a nonhomogeneous cylinder whose specific heat and latent heat depend upon the inverse square of the radial distance. The freezing time for the corresponding annular cylinder is found exactly. The validity of the pseudo-steady-state approximation for the solvable cylinder problem is verified explicitly. It is argued that t...
