The Undeciphered Signs of Linear B
… years after Michael Ventris’ decipherment of the Linear B script, 14 of its 87 syllabic signs still have no sound-values assigned to them. This group of ‘undeciphered’ signs represent a significant gap in our ability not only to read the Linear B script, but also to understand its development and …

Aegean Linear Script(s): Rethinking the Relationship between Linear A and Linear B
… investigates the genetic relationship between Linear A and Linear B (henceforth LA, LB), two Bronze Age scripts attested on Crete and Mainland Greece and understood to have developed one straight out of the other. By using an interdisciplinary methodology, I integrated linguistic, epigraphic, …

Elimination of Edge Effects Using Spline Wavelets Which Maintain a Uniform Two-Scale Relation
… on a finite interval which employ the piecewise linear B-wavelet the present research provides a frontal approach to decomposition which avoids truncation of weight sequences, experiences no error at boundaries, and which exhibits a factor of three increase in computational efficiency, over the …

A Forward-Backward Fluence Model for the Low-Energy Neutron Boltzmann Equation
… backward neutron fluence in selected materials. Linear B-splines were used to change the integro-differential equations into a coupled system of ordinary differential equations (O.D.E.'s). Difference approximations were then used to recast the O.D.E.'s into a coupled system of linear equations …

Communication at the Cellular Level: Discovery and Application
… significantly enhances the prediction of linear B cell epitopes while also provides interesting mechanistic insights to the underlying biological processes. However, current knowledge of cell-cell communication remains relatively incomplete. Despite the usefulness of understanding such …

First-order statistical speckle models improve robustness and reproducibility of contrast-enhanced ultrasound perfusion estimates
… imaged tumor cross-section. To address this, a linear (B-mode) processing approach was developed to quantify the change in the first-order speckle statistics of B-mode cine loops due to the incursion of microbubbles. The technique, named the EDoF (effective degrees of freedom) method, was …

Analysis and Modelling of Fractional-Slot Concentrated-Wound Interior Permanent Magnet Machines
… non-homogeneous magnetic saturation and the non-linear B-H curve of the rotor iron are not considered. Moreover, the effect of the FSCW stator on the machine magnetic characteristics is overlooked. Aiming at precise modelling of FSCW IPM machines’ magnetic and electrical characteristics, a …

Characterisation of novel peptides as candidates for diagnosis of schistosomiasis
… and characterises the reactivity of Schistosoma linear B-cell peptide epitopes via serological assays to assess their potential as diagnostic biomarkers. METHODOLOGY: In-silico analyses were carried out to identify protein family, sequence conservation and potential cross-reactivity of five …

Deciphering the Silence: A Literary Journey to Alice E. Kober
On Thursday, 28 September 2017, I embarked upon my Journey to Alice Kober: 48 hours in trains taking me from New York City, where she had lived all her life, to Austin, Texas, where everything that she left behind is stored today. 48 hours of shades of green and mustardy yellow, 48 hours of train …

Topological Transport in Sb Quantum Wells
… magneto resistance from parabolic (B$^2$) to linear (B) field dependence is seen for decreasing well thickness. This effect can be reproduced using a simple model containing bulk and WAL terms in concert. Initial measurements of nano-wire devices show the presence of universal conductance …

Algebraic level sets for CAD/CAE integration and moving boundary problems
… during the CAD and CAE phases. However, for non-linear geometries, surface intersection operations are non-trivial and face the challenge of simultaneously satisfying the three goals of accuracy, efficiency and robustness. In the class of problems involving multi-body interactions, often an …
