The evolution of a magnetoelastic material is described by a nonlinear hyperbolic-parabolic system. We introduce a simplified but nontrivial model and prove the existence of a unique solution to the corresponding initial boundary value problem.

A generalized simplified model for describing the dynamic behavior of distributed parameter systems is proposed. The various specific characteristics of gain and phase angle of distributed parameter systems are investigated from frequency response formulation and complex plane representation of the proposed simplified model. The complex plane investigation renders some important inequality cons...

Over the last decade, the classic concept of 3-step bonding to dental tissues has developed rapidly to more user-friendly, simplified adhesive systems. These comprise the total-etch 2 step, self-etch 2step and the self-etch "all-in-one" adhesives. These adhesives carry along with simplicity some characteristics that are relevant to their efficacy in providing long-lasting bond stability. They s...

Simplified texts play an important role in providing accessible and easy-to-understand information for a whole range of users who, due to linguistic, developmental or social barriers, would have difficulty in understanding materials which are not adapted and/or simplified. However, the production of simplified texts can be a time-consuming and labour-intensive task. In this paper we show that t...

Objectives Drawing on new (2011-12) and previous (1993-5, 2000-1 and 2007-8) data on suicidal behaviour reported by the Belgian Network of Sentinel General Practices (SGP), we describe trends in the key characteristics of suicidal events. We also examine patient age-related trends in the on-site attendance of sentinel general practitioners (GPs) as first professional caregivers following suicid...

The base polymer properties have been developed experimentally by adding small amounts of different fillers but they are expensive to the polymer material. Thus, it has been investigated that the incorporation of cost-less nanoparticles like clay and fumed silica nanoparticles into low density polyethylene LDPE and high density polyethylene HDPE which controlled the breakdown strength and volta...

Finite element models of a simplified vehicle-like structure have been used for preliminary investigations of the likely impact of vehicle bodyshell materials and structures on invehicle low frequency magnetic fields, such as those associated with currents flowing on the high voltage power cables of vehicles equipped with electric powertrain. The simulations reported here consider frequencies u...
