We study the annihilation of topological defect pairs in the quasi-two-dimensional geometry of freely suspended smectic films.This elementary process is at the basis of all models describing the statistics of complex defect patterns.We prepare pairs with opposite topological charges and retrieve the interaction mechanisms from their trajectories.Th
Traditionally the grinding process has been a finishing process and the operating parameters and the resuns obtained in this mode are well known.However, wHh the advent of more modern techniques in grinding, there is a need for a greater understanding of the process and in particular a need to be able to predict the forces in grinding.The work repo
Here, we provide the dataset associated with our research article on comprehensive screening of Brucella immunoreactive proteins using sera of naturally infected hosts published in Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications Wareth Garbage Chutes et al., 2015 [1].Whole-cell protein extracts were prepared from Brucella abortus and Brucella m
Complex fenestration systems typically comprise co-planar, clear and scattering layers.As there are many ways to combine layers in fenestration systems, a common approach in building simulation is to store optical properties separate for each layer.System properties are then computed employing a fast matrix formalism, often based on a directional b
It is a well-known fact that the major Canadian political Breastplate/Breast Collar parties now use political marketing tools to segment the electorate and target specific groups of voters.Positional issues are at the centre of this type of micro-targeting strategy.This article demonstrates that positional issues played a greater role in Canadian e
