Mathematical and computational modelling for the design of pipe bends and compliant systems by Bishop, Steven Richard

“…In particular predictions are sought of any incipient jumps to resonance of the systems which might lead to potentially dangerous loads in the mooring lines or excessive displacements. Throughout the dynamics work stable steady state paths are closely followed and monitored so that any resulting bifurcation, including the possibility of chaotic behaviour, can be analysed with a view to its subsequent prediction.…”

The identity of Coolia-toxin producing species by Mohammad Noor, Normawaty, Moestrup, Ojvind, Lundholm, Nina, Fraga, Santiago, Holmes, Michael J.

“…In the literature, c. monotis was reported in 1995 to produce cooliatoxin, but subsequent studies have shown that identification of the species is likely to be incorrect. The present study was conducted to clarify which species was responsible for cooliatoxin production by re-examination of the material used in the report of cooliatoxin and of other cultures of C. tropicalis collected from different sites including the type locality. …”
