A formulation and an implementation of two-dimensional Boundary Element Method (BEM) analysis for steady state, uncoupled thermoelastic problems is presented. This approach differs from other treatments of thermal loads in BEM analysis in which the domain integrals due to the thermal gradients are to be incorporated in the analysis via particular-integrals. Thus unlike Finite Elements or Field ...

The emission intensity of a monocationic Tb or Eu(III) complex of a bis(1-azaxanthone) ligand is enhanced in the presence of serum albumin; the lanthanide complex stains dividing cells, allowing visualisation of mitotic chromosomes.

UV-visible titrations, (1)H NMRD experiments and molecular docking studies show that emissive anthraquinone appended dimetallic lanthanide complexes bind to DNA. The strength of binding and the observed relaxivity behaviour depend on the nature of the substituted anthraquinone core.

A transposable element can be defined as a DNA sequence capable of moving to new sites in the genome. Such DNA sequences have been described in a wide range of organisms. The evolutionary processes affecting transposable elements can thus be divided into two categories: changes in sequence and changes in genomic location. As with other types of evolutionary change, the nature of the evolutionar...

This work addresses the synthesis of titanium pyrophosphate, as well as the characterization and evaluation of the sorption process of europium, for removal of trivalent heavy metals and actinides simulate. The evaluation of the surface properties of titanium pyrophosphate was carried out determining the surface roughness and surface acidity constants. The values obtained from the determination...

By using sensitive DELFIA immunoassays for screening one can be confident that all the antibody-producing hybrids can be found. The ease, sensitivity and versatility of this assay makes it possible to test the hybridoma supernatants against different antigens in parallel. The assays can be optimized to fulfil specific needs for convenience; lanthanide-labelled compounds and buffers are commerci...

The date of receipt and acceptance will be inserted by the editor Summary We construct stable, conforming and symmetric finite elements for the mixed formulation of the linear elasticity problem in two dimensions. In our approach we add three divergence free rational functions to piecewise polynomials to form the stress finite element space. The relation with the elasticity elements and a class...
