Most scientists believe that the combination of numerical and semi-exact analytical methods can also end with useful results. Recently, several approximate methods have been developed to analyze the nonlinear problems [112]. Homotopy analysis method (HAM) which was recently developed by [13] is one of the most successful and efficient methods in solving non-linear equations. In comparison with ...

1. Motivation and objectives In many industrial devices such as heat exchangers, piston engines, or propulsion systems strong temperature gradients arise in the near wall region even if the characteristic Mach number is close to zero. A strong coupling exists between momentum and energy equations caused by variations in the fluid properties, and the classical wall models for incompressible flow...

Although synaptic properties are specific to the type of synapse examined, there is evidence to suggest that properties can vary in individual synaptic populations. Here, a large sample of monosynaptic connections made by excitatory interneurons (EINs) onto motor neurons in the lamprey spinal cord locomotor network has been used to examine the properties of a single class of spinal synapse in d...

In the present study we have characterized a family of anti-dansyl Abs with the variable region of the heavy chain on human Ckappa and the variable region of the light chain on different human gamma constant regions (creating inside-out molecules). Although fully assembled molecules were secreted, this variable region exchange slowed the kinetics of Ab assembly. Although the variable region exc...

Bayesian networks have been successfully applied to the assessment of user properties which remain unchanged during a session. However, many properties of a person vary over time, thus raising new questions of network modeling. In this paperwe characterize different types of dependencies that occur in networks that deal with the modeling of temporally variable user properties. We show how exist...

Surface charge of mixtures of lepidocrocite and i\lite determined by adsorption of potentia l-determining and electrolyte ions is studied as a functi on of pH and NaCI concentration. Deviations between results oblained by both methods were a fu nction of the ill ile content of the mixtures, and can be mainly attributed lO coatings of hydroxyalum inium compl exes on the constant charge surfaces ...

The analysis how the functional fault tests detect structural faults at gate-level shows that the stuck-at fault coverage is much higher than transition fault coverage. The aim of the paper is to discover the reasons of this phenomenon and to propose the techniques of functional delay test quality improvement. We suggest, by transformation of pin pair test into functional delay test, to use var...

The paper deals with some important aspects of continuous systems modelling approaches. Namely the traditional approach is based on block oriented schemes in which causal relations play an important role. However this causality is artificially generated in order to fulfil appropriate conditions for simulation on conventional sequential computers. Fortunately new concepts which are based on obje...

Immunoconjugates, including antibody-drug conjugates and Fc-conjugates, represent a rapidly growing class of therapeutics undergoing clinical development. Despite their growing popularity, the high intrinsic heterogeneity of immunoconjugates often complicates the development process and limits their widespread application. In particular, immunoconjugate charge variants exhibit markedly differen...
