We revisit a method originally introduced by Werder et al. (in Comput. Methods Appl. Mech. Engrg., 190:6685-6708, 2001) for temporally discontinuous Galerkin FEMs applied to a parabolic partial differential equation. In that approach, block systems arise because of the coupling of the spatial systems through inner products of the temporal basis functions. If the spatial finite element space is ...

BACKGROUND During eye rotations the vitreous humour moves with respect to the eye globe. This relative motion has been suggested to possibly have an important role in inducing degradation of the gel structure, which might lead to vitreous liquefaction and/or posterior vitreous detachment. Aim of the present work is to study the characteristics of vitreous motion induced by eye rotations. METH...

Quanti-qualitative changes in Dinophysis and Alexatidrium populations from the Gulf of Venice NW Adriatic Sea were studied on a short time scale (44 h cycles). Under hydrographic conditions of marked thermo-haline stratification (July 1995), D. sacculus populations assembled in the surface waters (12 24 yt isopycnals). Division processes took place mostly in the early hours of the morning and a...

Two hardwood species, namely red oak and yellow-poplar, were separated into their bark, sapwood and heartwood components. The samples were tested for calorific value, specific gravity, proximate analysis, mineral composition, chemical composition, ultimate analysis, and thermo-chemical decomposition behavior. In addition, the thermo-chemical decomposition behaviors of cellulose, xylan, and lign...

Alpha amylase family is generally defined as a group of enzymes that can hydrolyse and transglycosylase α-(1, 4) or α-(1, 6) glycosidic bonds along with the preservation of anomeric configuration. For the comparative analysis of alpha amylase family, nucleotide sequences of seven thermo stable organisms of Kingdom Archea i.e. Pyrococcus furiosus (100-105°C), Kingdom Prokaryotes i.e. Bacillus li...

Understanding interpenetrated polymer networks mechanical interactions by micromechanics modeling of their linear viscoelasticity.

A new monolithic solution scheme for thermo-elasto-plasticity and thermo-elasto-plastic frictional contact with finite deformations and finite strains is presented. A key feature is the reformulation of all involved inequality constraints, namely those of Hill’s orthotropic yield criterion as well as the normal and tangential contact constraints, in terms of non-smooth nonlinear complementarity...

A thermo-anemometric flowmeter design and the principles of its work are presented in the article. A mathematical model of the temperature field in a stream of biofuel is proposed. This model allows one to determine the fuel consumption with high accuracy. Numerical modeling of the heater heat balance in the fuel flow of a thermo-anemometric flowmeter is conducted and the results are analyzed. ...

A thermo-sensitive imprinted polymer coating CdTe quantum dots was developed to prepare fluorescent thermo-sensitive protein-affinity materials, which exhibited high specific recognition ability towards target proteins.

The aim of this study is to examine the physicochemical properties of the external preparation, the effect on the skin permeability and the human senses. Miconazole nitrate cream formulation (MCZ-A: bland name and MCZ-B, -C, -D: generics) to measure the physicochemical properties, was performed by the skin permeation test and human sensory test. The flattening, viscoelasticity, and water conten...
