Numerical investigation of the edge profile in hot-rolling by Veale, John

“…The objectives of this thesis are to develop techniques of simulating the rolling, and to use these to investigate the deformation mechanisms which lead to the concave edge profile. Models of the rolling were developed using the general purpose, non-linear finite element code ABAQUS. …”

The effects of partitions on the vibration serviceability of concrete floors by Mutombo, Christian Kabongo

“…There are no guidelines available to designers which take into account the effects of partitions in the design of concrete floors for vibration serviceability besides the different damping ratios that are recommended in different codes for bare floors as well as floors with half- or full-height partitions. …”

A single AKH neuropeptide activating three different fly AKH-receptors: an insecticide study via computational methods by Abdulganiyyu, Ibrahim A

“…The fruit fly, Drosophila melanogaster, the flesh fly, Sarcophaga crassipalpis, and the oriental fruit fly, Bactrocera dorsalis all have the same AKH that is present in the blowfly, Phormia terraenovae; this AKH has the code-name Phote-HrTH. Binding of the AKH to the extracellular binding site of a G protein-coupled receptor causes its activation. …”
