Numerical-continuation-enhanced flexible boundary condition scheme applied to mode-I and mode-III fracture.

Motivated by the inadequacy of conducting atomistic simulations of crack propagation using static boundary conditions that do not reflect the movement of the crack tip, we extend Sinclair's flexible boundary condition algorithm [J. E. Sinclair, Philos.

[Automated RNA amplification for the rapid identification of Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex in respiratory specimens].

Rapid and sensitive detection of Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (MTB) directly on clinical respiratory specimens is essential for a correct management of patients suspected of tuberculosis. For this purpose PCR-based kits are available to detect MTB in respiratory specimen but most of them need at least 4 hours to be completed. New methods, based on TRC method (TRC: Transcription Reverse transcription Concerted--TRCRapid M.
