Low cost extraction and isothermal amplification of DNA for infectious diarrhea diagnosis. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 In order to counter the common perception that molecular diagnostics are too complicated to work in low resource settings, we have performed a difficult sample preparation and DNA amplification protocol using instrumentation designed to be operated ...

Parametric and nonparametric identification of shell and tube heat exchanger mathematical model [PDF]
, 2012 Parametric and nonparametric models of a shell and tube heat exchanger are studied. Such models are very important because they provide information about controlling a system operation. Without the model, the control task would be difficult for tuning

Microscopic origin of Magnetic Ferroelectrics in Nonlinear Multiferroics [PDF]
, 2007 A simple but general microscopic mechanism to understand the interplay between the electric and magnetic degrees of freedom is developed. Within this mechanism, the magnetic structure generates an electric current which induce an counterbalance electric ...
