The impedance boundary condition has been used with great profit to eliminate large regions from the solution to solve eddy current problems. In the boundary element formulation, the reduction of the order of singularities ...

The use of description length principles to select an appropriate number of basis functions for functional data is investigated. A flexible definition of the dimension of a random function that is constructed directly from ...

Support vector machine is a state-of-the-art learning machine that is used in areas, such as pattern recognition, computer vision, data mining and bioinformatics. SVMs were originally developed for solving binary classification ...

Frequencies of occurrence of low-level image features is the representation of choice in the design of state-of-the-art visual object recognition systems. A crucial step in this process is the construction of a codebook ...

This feature article introduces the reader to the surface chemistry and structure of graphitic carbon materials, including carbon nanotubes. Recent work involving the development of dual labels that allow us to selectively ...

The parallel solid phase synthesis of an 18-member library of 2-substituted pyrimidines is described using a chlorogermane-functionalised resin. The success of the key Pinner-type condensations between a resin-bound enaminone ...

The solid-phase synthesis of a cyclic peptide containing the 21-residue epitope found in the A-B loop of the Cε3 domain of human immunoglobulin E has been carried out. The key macrocyclization step to form the 65-membered ...

"Bamboo-like" multiwalled (b-MWCNT), "hollow-tube" multiwalled (h-MWCNT) and single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNT), chemically modified with 1-anthraquinonyl (AQ) or 4-nitrophenyl (NP) groups, are characterized using ...

Over the past five decades, ultra high vacuum (uhv) techniques applied to well-defined single-crystal samples (the "surface science paradigm") have transformed our understanding of fundamental surface chemistry. To translate ...

full title: Preparation, pyrolysis, and photolysis of three sterically crowded alkenes, 3,3,3′,3′,5,5,5′,5′-octamethyl-3,3′,5,5′- tetrahydro-4,4′-bi(4H-pyrazolylidene) 2,2,4,4-tetramethyl-3-(3,3,5,5-tetramethyl-3,5-dihyd ...
