Lattice Boltzmann Methods
The lattice Boltzmann methods (LBM), originated from the lattice gas automata (LGA) method (Hardy- Pomeau-Pazzis and Frisch- Hasslacher- Pomeau models), is a class of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) methods for fluid simulation. Instead of solving the Navier–Stokes equations directly, a fluid density on a lattice is simulated with streaming and collision (relaxation) processes. The method is versatile as the model fluid can straightforwardly be made to mimic common fluid behaviour like vapour/liquid coexistence, and so fluid systems such as liquid droplets can be simulated. Also, fluids in complex environments such as porous media can be straightforwardly simulated, whereas with complex boundaries other CFD methods can be hard to work with. Algorithm Unlike CFD methods that solve the conservation equations of macroscopic properties (i.e., mass, momentum, and energy) numerically, LBM models the fluid consisting of fictive particles, and such particles perform consecutive ...

Lysogeny Broth
Lysogeny broth (LB) is a Nutrient, nutritionally rich Growth medium, medium primarily used for the Bacterial growth, growth of bacteria. Its creator, Giuseppe Bertani, intended LB to stand for lysogeny broth, but LB has also come to colloquially mean Luria broth, Lennox broth, life broth or Salvador Luria, Luria–Bertani medium. The formula of the LB medium was published in 1951 in the first paper of Bertani on lysogeny. In this article he described the modified single-burst experiment and the isolation of the phages Enterobacteria phage P1, P1, Enterobacteria phage P2, P2, and Enterobacteria phage P3, P3. He had developed the LB medium to optimize ''Shigella'' growth and Virus Quantification#Plaque assay, plaque formation. LB medium formulations have been an industry standard for the cultivation of ''Escherichia coli (molecular biology), Escherichia coli'' as far back as the 1950s. These media have been widely used in molecular microbiology applications for the preparation of pl ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
LB (car Ferries)
LB was a car and lorry ferry line that operated between 1955 and 1981 on the Helsingør–Helsingborg ferry route between Helsingør, Denmark and Helsingborg, Sweden. Prior to their introduction, DSB was the only operator on this route from 1888. History Before LB Official monopolies on the route were abolished by law and in 1888, private ownership of the line was abandoned as Danske Statsbaner (DSB), the Danish national railways, took over the service. Starting in 1892, DSB had a solid income from running passenger trains during the day and freight trains at night. DSB was the single shipping line which were able to transport train across the Øresund, from the Scandinavian Peninsula to Denmark. When the Swedish counterpart to DSB, Statens Järnvägar (SJ), in 1931 started to share all expenses and profits equally, this serious competition at the HH route required stronger economic muscles than was available.

It has progressed steadily since then. to the software, version 4.5.1, was in June 2018. Though Liberty BASIC has its share of limitations in its design for advanced programming, it provides an introductory integrated development environment, IDE, for moderate to advanced users of Windows and OS/2.

Linebacker
Linebacker (LB) is a playing position in gridiron football. Linebackers are members of the defensive team, and typically line up three to five yards behind the line of scrimmage and so back up the defensive linemen. They play closer to the line of scrimmage than the defensive backs (secondary). As such, linebackers play a hybrid role and are often the most versatile players on the defensive side of the ball; they can be asked to play roles similar to either a defensive lineman (such as stopping the runner on a running play) or a defensive back (such as dropping back into pass coverage). How linebackers play their positions depends on the defensive alignment, the philosophy of the coaching staff, and the particular play the offense may call. Linebackers are divided into middle linebackers, sometimes called inside linebackers, and outside linebackers. The middle linebacker is frequently the "quarterback of the defense". His central role on the field means he is in the best positio ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Pound (mass)
The pound or pound-mass is a unit of mass used in both the British imperial and United States customary systems of measurement. Various definitions have been used; the most common today is the international avoirdupois pound, which is legally defined as exactly , and which is divided into 16 avoirdupois ounces. The international standard symbol for the avoirdupois pound is lb; an alternative symbol (when there might otherwise be a risk of confusion with the pound-force) is lbm (for most pound definitions), # ( chiefly in the U.S.), and or ̶ (specifically for the apothecaries' pound). The unit is descended from the Roman (hence the symbol ''lb'', descended from the scribal abbreviation, '). The English word ''pound'' comes from the Roman ('the weight measured in '), and is cognate with, among others, German , Dutch , and Swedish . These units are now designated as historical and are no longer in common usage, being replaced by the metric system. Usage of the un ...
