In this thesis we look at how boundary value problems for partial differential equations can be solved numerically using B-splines, or more generally NURBS, both to express the geometry of the problem exactly and as a basis ...

The simulation of the fracture of engineering structures is a challenging topic that requires accurate and efficient numerical models. This thesis focuses on the modeling of brittle and ductile fracture in thin shell structures ...

In this master thesis, I have solved the Boussinesq equations with Isogeometric Analysis to study heat transfer coupled with air circulation. The Boussinesq equations consist of the Navier-Stokes equations and the ...

Introduction Overweight and obesity in reproductive aged women is a global problem due to the increased risk of subfertility, pregnancy complications and cardiometabolic diseases. High-intensity interval training and ...

Background: Sleep disorder is one of the leading risk factors for obesity and vice versa, and it is estimated that approximately one-third of the adult population has insufficient sleep. Time-Restricted Eating (TRE) and ...

Character recognition is widely considered an essential factor in preserving and digitizing historical handwritten documents. While it has shown a significant impact, the character recognition of historical handwritten ...

Evolution in Materio (EiM) is the concept of exploiting intrinsic properties of various materials, or "black boxes", to perform computation. Motivation for EiM is multitudinous; new paradigms for computing, increased ...

Here, we present a unified protocol for the extraction, culture, and basic characterization of rat neural stem cells (NSCs) from all three canonical neurogenic niches in the brain and spinal cord. We describe tissue ...

14 different yeast strains were isolated from the Nepalese yeast cakes (murcha) of six different places varying in geographical condition. The isolation was entirely random based on the morphologies of the colonies, were ...
