Intrinsically Localized Lattice Vibrations in Crystalline Lattices
… the formation of Intrinsically Localized Modes (ILMs) for a pair of harmonic phonons along the direction [111] of the Sodium Iodide (NaI) crystalline lattice. The tendency for ILMs to form at a certain center-of-mass momentum ▁q and corresponding relative momentum vector ▁k is attributed to the …

Immobilized liquid membranes for facilitated transport and gas separation
… for many years. Immobilized liquid membranes (ILMs) are an important class of facilitated transport membranes. Despite their potential to provide superior performance, they could not achieve commercial success so far due to their instability. Recent research addressed the issue of stability of …

Lean manufacturing at a tier-1 automotive supplier
… throughout Intrigue concluding that the ILMS did not take hold for two reasons. First, Intrigue did not understand the dynamics of change. Consequently, they did not take advantage of the high leverage points to tilt the odds of success in their favor. Second, the ILMS was incomplete and …

Spatial Infectious Disease Transmission Models: Variable Screening Methods and Logistic Formulation.
… diseases, particularly individual-level models (ILMs), play a crucial role in understanding and predicting disease dynamics at a detailed scale, facilitating targeted interventions, and developing new public health strategies for treatment and prevention. However, fitting these models can be …

Study of vapor/gas permeation using thin immobilized liquid membrane
… hollow fiber substrate. To prepare such thin ILMs, three approaches were used: evaporation of the a volatile solvent; acrylic acid-grafted hollow fibers providing a thin hydrophilic layer; pressurization technique. For removal of volatile organic compound (VOC), a thin ILM of silicone oil …

Implementation of an integrated library management system in community libraries: A case study of Windhoek Public Library
… of an Integrated Library Management System (ILMS) in Community Libraries: A Case Study of Windhoek Public Library” was to establish the reasons that led to the automation of the library and the selection of a proprietary system. The objectives of the study were to: establish reasons that led …

On the Effect of Ignoring Within-Unit Infectious Disease Dynamics When Modelling Spatial Transmission
Individual-level models (ILMs) are a class of models that can be used to analyze infectious epidemic data to assist in the understanding of the spatio-temporal dynamics of infectious diseases in discrete time (Deardon et al., 2010). ILMs are generally fitted to epidemic data through Markov chain …

Advantageous Utilization of Nonlinear Phenomena in Micro-Structures and Macro-Structures: Applications to Micro-Resonators and Atomic Force Microscopy
… phenomena called Intrinsic Localized Modes (ILMs) and nonlinear vibration modes. A method is developed to derive equations for determining the spatial characteristics of the localizations and the profiles are used to conduct further studies. For a cantilever beam impactor system, a period …

Structure and dynamics of magnetic domain walls in multi-sublattice magnetic oxides
… of 7 through the substrate in Pt/garnet thin f ilms, providing further understanding of the DMI mechanism. For the anomalously fast DW motion, we present an explanation by the field-like torque counteracting the damping-like torque and increasing the spin Hall efficiency. We propose measuring …
