Simulation and experimental study of underwater dissimilar friction-stir welding between aluminium and steel by Eyvazian, Arameh

“…Theeffects of processing parameters on the formation of intermetallic compounds (IMCs) atthe Al/St interface, microstructural characteristics, and mechanical property of dissimilarweldments were studied and addressed. By decreasing tool rotational speed (w), increas-ing traverse velocity (v), and employing cooling medium, peak temperature continuouslyreduced (down to ?…”

Perinatal outcomes following Helping Babies Breathe training and regular peer-peer skills practice among village midwives in Sudan. by Arabi, Ame

“…Excluding 11 macerated fetuses, there were 55 perinatal deaths: 14 FSB/18 ENND (6 months pre-HBBT(+RPPSP)) and 10 FSB/13 ENND (18 months post-HBBT(+RPPSP)). FSB rates decreased from 10.5 to 3.3 per 1000 births ((χ(2))=8.6209, p=0.003), while ENND rates decreased from 13.5 to 4.3 per 1000 live births ((χ(2))=10.9369, p=0.001) pre-HBBT(+RPPSP) and post-HBBT(+RPPSP), respectively. …”

In vitro effects of photobiomodulation therapy on 50B11 sensory neurons: evaluation of cell metabolism, oxidative stress, mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP), and capsaicin-indu... by Zupin, Luisa

“…In this study, the effect of near-infrared (NIR) PBMT at 800 and 970 nm of wavelength was investigated on the 50B11 immortalized nociceptive sensory neuronal cell line by evaluating capsaicin-induced calcium flow and different markers correlated to mitochondria, that is, ATP, reactive oxygen species (ROS), and mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP). Calcium peak stimulated by capsaicin, the ligand of TRPV1 channel, was decreased in neurons pre-irradiated with the combination of the two wavelengths. …”

Long-Distance Vowel-to-Vowel Coarticulation in Arabic: Influences of Intervening Consonant Pharyngealization and Length by Ahmed, Sarah

“…Analysis of the first and second formants of the recorded vowels revealed that (a) vowel-to-vowel coarticulatory effects could sometimes extend to a distance of three vowels before the context vowel; (b) the consonant-to-vowel effects associated with pharyngealization were consistently seen at similar distances, while also decreasing in magnitude at greater distances from the triggering consonant; and (c) effects related to intervening consonant length were idiosyncratic, and in particular did not lead to consistent blocking of vowel-to-vowel effects. …”

Channel Network Control on Seasonal Lake Area Dynamics in Arctic Deltas by Tejedor, Alejandro

“…We find that monthly shrinkage rates have a pronounced structured variability around the channel network with the shrinkage rate systematically decreasing farther away from the channels. This pattern of shrinkage is predominantly attributed to a deeper active layer enhancing near-surface connectivity and storage and greater vegetation density closer to the channels leading to increased evapotranspiration rates. …”

A control algorithm to increase the efficient operation of wind energy conversion systems under extreme wind conditions by Jargalsaikhan, Nyam

“…This paper aims to increase the power production of gearless permanent magnet synchronous generator (PMSG) based wind energy conversion systems (WECS) in strong (greater than 25 m/s) wind speed regions. In general, most wind turbines cut off when wind speed is over the cut-out rate; as a result, the power generation of the wind farm decreases. …”
