Short tandem repeats, or microsatellites are ubiquitous throughout all genomes that have been explored. In common with other sequences, the DNA in microsatellites has DNA marks in the form of chromatin methylation. Regulation ...

This research was conducted in Blantyre Urban in Malawi to identify potential
markets for human compost and to assess the feasibility of ecological sanitation
and private sector participation in building and operating ...
The aim of the study was to simulate the dynamic properties of automotive plastic materials for an FE analysis based on the Empirical Method. The study researched into the effects of strain rate and temperature on the ...
A major research programme into advanced
technologies for Uninhabited Airborne Vehicles
(UAVs) in June 2004. The £6.5M, five-year
project represents a major investment in
aerospace technology for BAE SYSTEMS and
their ...
In this work we evaluate the use of several real-time dense stereo algorithms as a passive 3D sensing technology for potential use as part of a driver assistance system or autonomous vehicle guidance. A key limitation in ...
The Lotus Elite concept car was revealed at the Paris motor show in September 2010 and is a two- door 2+2 Sports Grand Tourer planned to compete in the High Luxury Sportscar vehicle segment and is part of a revolutionary ...

This article investigates the potential for environmental benefit from the introduction of the High Speed Train (HST) on the London–Manchester route in the UK, focusing on carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. The lifecycle ...
Society has been aware of the environmental impact of vehicles for some time now,
with governments trying to control and reduce this impact by introducing emissions
standards to control pollutants as well as CO₂ emissions. ...
Detailed understanding of heat dissipation from a stationary disc brake is of considerable
importance for vehicle safety. This is essential for both park braking on inclines and for
preventing brake fluid boiling in ...
With global energy demand estimated to rise considerably and global warming accepted by the majority of scientists, the pressure to reduce fossil fuel usage is increasing. To this end, the UK government has set a target ...
A need has been established in industry and academic publications to link an
engine’s maintenance costs throughout its operational life to its design as well as
its operations and operating conditions. The established ...
In the motorsport environment, where traction at one wheel is often compromised
due to high cornering accelerations, Limited Slip Differentials (LSD) offer significant
improvements in traction and vehicle stability. LSDs ...
Fracture and toughening mechanisms in rubber modified and hybridized urethane-methacrylate
resins have been investigated. Fracture mechanisms are defect-dominated in the unmodified
resin. The relationships between defect ...
As far as design of composite structures is concerned, it is important that we are able
to accurately determine the failure modes and damage progression of structures made
of composite materials. This will in turn, aid ...
A new method is developed to deal with shape optimization problems. The
core idea of the method is to introduce the knot insertion algorithm which
keeps the geometry unchanged while increasing the number of control ...
Gas turbines have been used since the 1940's to provide
electric power at times of peak demand, but this is due to low
initial cost and short starting times. Historically low
efficiency and a higher quality fuel requirement ...
In recent years much work has been done in many countries on
the development of powered artificial limbs for use by adults and
children with congenital deficiencies i.e. present at birth, and
by amputees.
The established ...
Unfettered competition in the US and Canada has resulted
in a much more efficient airline industry, but the considerable
economies derived from the resulting structural change has lead
to greater levels of concentration ...
This thesis studies the dynamics and control of flexible articulated space manipulators
with large payloads similar to the Space Shuttle Remote Manipulator System. For
dynamic response analyses an exact analytical method ...
The dispersion of air into water was studied in a tall agitated vessel (ungassed liquid
depth = 2.4 x vessel diameter) fitted with four different triple impeller combinations:
1. Three identical Rushton turbines
2. One ...
