Complex mechatronic systems like machine tools are characterised by a close interdependence of physical domains (electrical and mechanical hardware) and logical domains (information processing devices). A novel simulation method, implemented in ANSYS control toolbox links those domains in the finite element software. Preliminary trials qualified this approach to be suitable in the design proces...

In the present study, 2, 4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2, 4-D) was assessed individually for its effectiveness to induce somatic embryogenesis in tea (Camellia sinenesis L.). Embryonic axes and cotyledons explants were dissected from the seeds. Explants were cultured on Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium containing 0, 1 and 5 mM 2, 4-D alone for embryonic axes and 0, 1 and 5 mM 2, 4-D along with 0...
