MiKO - Mikado Koncurrent Objects

Miniaturisation effects in larvae and adults of Mikado sp. (Coleoptera: Ptiliidae), one of the smallest free-living insects.

We present the first morphological study of larvae and adults of Mikado sp. - one of the smallest known beetles and free-living insects (body length of adult is 390-455microm). Morphological and developmental consequences of miniaturisation in Mikado and insects in general are discussed. We used histological sectioning, scanning electron microscopy, laser confocal microscopy and 3D-computer rec...

Modelling the environmental impact of an aluminium pressure die casting plant and options for control

This study describes a model (MIKADO) to analyse options to reduce the environmental impact of aluminium die casting. This model will take a company perspective, so that it can be used as a decision-support tool for the environmental management of a plant. MIKADO can be used to perform scenario analyses to analyse the impact on the environment of different strategies, while taking into account ...

SIMPLE DUAL BRAIDS, NONCROSSING PARTITIONS AND MIKADO BRAIDS OF TYPE Dn

We show that the simple elements of the dual Garside structure of an Artin group of type Dn are Mikado braids, giving a positive answer to a conjecture of Digne and the second author. To this end, we use an embedding of the Artin group of type Dn in a suitable quotient of an Artin group of type Bn noticed by Allcock, of which we give a simple algebraic proof here. This allows one to give a char...
