The NS-FDTD algorithm is particularly suitable to analyze such compl... Dong Zhu, Shuichi Kinoshita, Dongsheng Cai and James B.

The time evolution of the precipitate Al(OH)3 can be observed since the precipitate redissolves in the excess outer electrolyte NaOH and thus it exists only in a narrow... A. Volford, I. Lagzi, F.

Magnetic dissipation occurs only via reconnection of the flux ropes. This model can be viewed as an implementation of the asymptotic limit \Rm fo... Andrew W. Baggaley, Carlo F.
