This study evaluated the performance of the Maxwell 16 System (Promega) for extraction of influenza virus (flu-v) RNA from diverse samples compared to a classical manual method (QIAamp Kit, QIAGEN). Following extraction by the two methods, all samples were analyzed by Real-time RT-PCR. Results revealed that the use of the standard Maxwell 16 protocol (Maxwell 16-S) resulted in good linearity an...

Self diffusion coefficients and binary Maxwell-Stefan diffusion coefficients were determined by equilibrium molecular dynamics simulations with the Green-Kubo method. The study covers five pure fluids: neon, argon, krypton, xenon, and methane and three binary mixtures: argon+krypton, argon+xenon, and krypton+xenon. The fluids are modeled by spherical Lennard-Jones pair-potentials, with paramete...

Abstract. The Maxwell-Boltzmannian approach to nuclear reaction rate theory is extended to cover Tsallis statistics (Tsallis, 1988) and more general cases of distribution functions. An analytical study of respective thermonuclear functions is being conducted with the help of statistical techniques. The pathway model, recently introduced by Mathai (2005), is utilized for thermonuclear functions ...

The continuous extension of the discrete duality symmetry of the SchwarzSen model is studied. The corresponding infinitesimal generator Q turns out to be local, gauge invariant and metric independent. Furthermore, Q commutes with all the conformal group generators. We also show that Q is equivalent to the non—local duality transformation generator found in the Hamiltonian formulation of Maxwell...

Voltage-controlled lateral potential superlattices are used to dramatically increase the lifetime of photogenerated carriers in a quantum well. These long lifetimes, together with the ability to deliberately trigger radiative recombination, enable us to directly visualize the spreading character of nonlinear Maxwell relaxation of 2D charges along narrow channels. Our system allows for temporal ...

The Weibel instability is analyzed for quantum plasmas described by the Wigner-Maxwell model. For a suitable class of electromagnetic potentials, the Wigner-Maxwell system is linearized yielding a general dispersion relation for transverse electromagnetic waves. For a double Gaussian equilibrium with temperature anisotropy, the derived dispersion relation generalizes the classical Weibel instab...

The electromagnetic behavior of a collisionless plasma is described by a system of partial differential equations known as the Vlasov-Maxwell system. From a mathematical standpoint, little is known about this physically accurate three-dimensional model, but a one-dimensional toy model of the equations can be studied much more easily. Knowledge of the dynamics of solutions to this reduced system...

In this paper we propose and investigate some edge element approximations for three Maxwell systems in three dimensions: the stationary Maxwell equations, the time-harmonic Maxwell equations and the time-dependent Maxwell equations. These approximations have three novel features. First, the resulting discrete edge element systems can be solved by some existing preconditioned solvers with optima...

In this work, three types of vehicle suspensions were considered and modeled as follows: oil damper mounted in parallel with a compression helical spring, for which a Kelvin-Voigt model, consisted of a dashpot and an elastic element connected in parallel is considered; colloidal damper without attached compression helical spring, for which a Maxwell model, consisted of a dashpot and an elastic ...

We investigate the kinetic model of relativistic Vlasov–Maxwell–Chern–Simons system, which originates from gauge theory. This system can be seen as an electromagnetic fields (i.e., Maxwell–Chern–Simons fields) perturbation for classical Vlasov equation. By virtue a nondecreasing function and iteration method, uniqueness existence global solutions 1.5D case are obtained.
