Yet for numerical simulations of detonation waves in plastic binded explosives (PBX) empirical pressure dependent reaction rates, such as ``Forest fire'' or the ``Ignition and Growth'' model, are typically used. The underlying reason for this disparity between between fundamental chemical rate laws and empirical burn models is due to the fact that a PBX is a heterogeneous material consisting of...

Homeoproteins of the Engrailed family are involved in the patterning of mesencephalic boundaries through a mechanism classically ascribed to their transcriptional functions. In light of recent reports on the paracrine activity of homeoproteins, including Engrailed, we asked whether Engrailed intercellular transfer was also involved in brain patterning and boundary formation. Using time-controll...

It is essential to estimate the Channel and detect symbol in multiple-input and multiple-output (MIMO)-orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) systems. Symbol detection by applying the maximum likelihood (ML) detector gives excellent performance but in systems with higher number of antennas and greater constellation size, the computational complexity of this algorithm becomes quite hi...

152 words Abstract Coexpression of the homeodomain protein Meis1 and either HoxA7 or HoxA9 is characteristic of many acute myelogenous leukemias. Although Meis1 can be overexpressed in bone marrow long-term repopulating cells, it is incapable of mediating their transformation. While overexpressing HoxA9 alone transforms murine bone marrow cells, concurrent Meis1 overexpression greatly accelerat...

Viscoelastic properties of the highly filled plastic-bonded explosive PBX-9501 were studied by two-dimensional dynamic Material Point Method (MPM) simulations. The upper and lower bounds for the composite properties were estimated from iso-displacement and iso-stress boundary conditions. A homogenized or “dirty” binder approach was utilized to handle the multiple length scales involved in MPM s...
