A turbine blade tip with a trapezoidal slot cooling scheme is first proposed in the current paper. The film cooling characteristics of a turbine blade tip with a trapezoidal slot scheme are experimentally studied by the pressure sensitive paint (PSP) technique in transonic flow. Varieties of density ratio, tip clearance gap and position of the trapezoidal slot scheme are selected as investigation

Previously published data from our group and others demonstrate that human milk oligosaccharide (HMOs), as well as milk and infant fecal microbial profiles, vary by geography. However, little is known about the geographical variation of other milk-borne factors, such as lactose and protein, as well as the associations among these factors and microbial community structures in milk and infant feces.

Sensitivity, resolution, and data quality are important parameters to consider when designing an ERT cross-borehole survey. We present an open-source algorithm for computing 2D and 3D sensitivity patterns of any borehole setup and use this to compare single-borehole and different cross-borehole electrode configurations, which both show complex patterns. To study the resolution capability of an ent

We describe the outcome of a data challenge conducted as part of the Dark Machines (https://www.darkmachines.org) initiative and the Les Houches 2019 workshop on Physics at TeV colliders. The challenged aims to detect signals of new physics at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) using unsupervised machine learning algorithms. First, we propose how an anomaly score could be implemented to define model-

High-throughput sequencing of adaptive immune receptor repertoires (AIRR, i.e., IG and TR) has revolutionized the ability to carry out large-scale experiments to study the adaptive immune response. Since the method was first introduced in 2009, AIRR sequencing (AIRR-Seq) has been applied to survey the immune state of individuals, identify antigen-specific or immune-state-associated signatures of i

Ghost Installation: Sparvkvarteren was part of the same evening that Deuterium: Virkesvägen was composed for. It was made with a single, combined recording of sparrows from Solna, Tensta and Hammarby, two clips of synthesizer material, and two recordings of the construction machinery closing in on Virkesvägen 3, recorded the same week we made our event in the Coyote Collective’s exhibition, Pionee

Sustainable development lies at the heart of sustainable entrepreneurship. In the context of this view, the current paper explores the linkages among sustainable development, entrepreneurship, and innovation. Since Gujarat ranks among the five top Indian states in terms of renewable energy (RE) potential, we studied this sector using a case study approach. The study explores factors that affects t

Three decades ago, systematic research on possible acute and long-term aftereffects of peritraumatic dissociation (PD) was partly spurred by the proposal of a Brief Reactive Dissociative Disorder (BRDD) and the associated literature reviews and analyses of datasets (Cardeña, Lewis-Fernández, Beahr, Pakianathan & Spiegel, 1996; Cardeña et al., 1998; Spiegel & Cardeña, 1991). The goal was to

Low-frequency noise (LFN), or 1/ f -noise, can be used effectively to evaluate device reliability which is a major concern in analog as well as digital circuits. In this work, we present 1/ f -noise characterization of vertical InAs/InGaAs gate-all-around (GAA) MOSFETs with a 70-nm gate length ( LG ) measured at cryogenic temperatures down to 15 K. The measurements at cryogenic temperatures reveal

Microgravity-induced bone loss is a major concern for space travelers. Ground-based microgravity simulators are crucial to study the effect of microgravity exposure on biological systems and to address the limitations posed by restricted access to real space. In this work, for the first time, we adopt a multidisciplinary approach to characterize the morphological, biochemical, and molecular change

Two time-resolved fluorescence-based methods for nucleic acid quantification are described and their results are compared. Both methods use an exogenous internal standard to eliminate errors arising from different steps of the assay. The first method is a competitive end-point assay, where the standard competes for the same primers with the actual target sequence, prostate-specific antigen (PSA) c

Behavioural Activation (BA) is an established treatment for adults with depression, and research on BA for adolescents is promising. However, there is a knowledge gap in terms of the experiences of adolescents and their parents BA for depression delivered online. Furthermore, there have been no previous studies conducted on the experiences of respondents with regard to the role of the therapist in

In the debate on sustainability many scholars are advocating for wider use of social learning models in order to successfully address complex challenges. Waste management is one example of complexity that our societies need to deal with and that increasingly calls for a broader approach, rather than focusing on narrow technical solutions only. This chapter is part of a broader study of limitations

The influence of aeration diffuser system design on electricity usage, effluent water quality, and life-cycle cost in biological wastewater treatment was investigated. A plant-wide model was implemented, and simulations were carried out with different process configurations and aeration systems. Model-aided design of new aeration diffuser systems could significantly decrease electricity usage and
