Performance analysis of a small-scale Orthopter-type Vertical Axis Wind Turbine by ElCheikh, A.

“…Wind tunnel experiments were carried out to measure the torque of two-, three, and four-bladed turbine, each at a set of different wind speeds and blade aspect ratios. Increasing solidity was achieved by either decreasing the blade aspect ratio or increasing the number of blades, both resulting in a higher peak power coefficient (Cp,max) of the VAWT. …”

Do interleukin-6 and macrophage-migration inhibitory factor play a role during sex-associated susceptibility in murine cysticercosis? by Kabbani, Ahmad

“…However, in wild-type strains, females have twice as many parasites as males. At the same time, there is a decrease of 80% in testosterone and dihydrotestosterone serum levels, and a 100-fold increase in the levels of estradiol in infected male mice. …”

Wave-packet dynamics in monolayer graphene with periodic scattering potentials by M.M. Suleimanov (22921019)

“…<p dir="ltr">We use the Dirac <u>continuum model</u> to study the propagation of electronic wave packets in monolayer graphene in the presence of periodically arranged circular potential steps. The time propagation of the wave packets is calculated using the split-operator method for different sizes, heights, and separations of the barriers. …”

Evaluation of transportation network reliability during unexpected events with multiple uncertainties by El Khoury, John

“…This paper presents a numerical example that shows the result of ignoring uncertainties after a disaster is overestimated. Also, it was observed that increasing variation of demand and supply decreases the network performance and network reliability, and the increasing knowledge of the user in route choice behavior increases the network efficiency.…”

RHO A versus RHO C. (c2014) by Dimassi, Saleh B. Al

“…In this study we aim to look at the role both Rho A and Rho C play in protrusion formation where we found that upon RhoA knockdown protrusions are no longer formed, using 2D time lapse microscopy that shows the depletion of RhoA and RhoC leads to the decrease in 2D motility, RhoA knockdown decreases adhesion of cells in contrast RhoC knockdown increases adhesion of astrocytoma, and FRET based biosensors. …”
