Comparative chloroplast genomics of endangered euphorbia species: Insights into hotspot divergence, repetitive sequence variation, and phylogeny
(
Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI)
, 2020 , Article)
Euphorbia is one of the largest genera in the Euphorbiaceae family, comprising 2000 species possessing commercial, medicinal, and ornamental importance. However, there are very little data available on their molecular ...
Hysteresis behaviour of different magnetorheological elastomer models: Modelling and simulation
(
EXTRICA
, 2020 , Conference Paper)
Smart materials are materials by which their properties can be altered due to external stimuli such as temperature, pressure, and magnetic field. Magnetorheological Elastomer (MRE) is a type of smart composite material ...
Cardiac autonomic neuropathy: A progressive consequence of chronic low-grade inflammation in type 2 diabetes and related metabolic disorders
(
MDPI
, 2020 , Article Review)
Cardiac autonomic neuropathy (CAN) is one of the earliest complications of type 2 diabetes (T2D), presenting a silent cause of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Recent research relates the pathogenesis of cardiovascular ...
Estimation and measurement of effective line mobility on a non-deterministic thin plate excited by a piezoelectric patch
(
EXTRICA
, 2020 , Article)
This paper derived the expression to estimate the effective line moment mobility of a non-deterministic thin plate under moment excitation by a piezoelectric patch actuator. The piezoelectric patch actuator is assumed to ...
Dynamic Response of a Rotating Assembly under the Coupled Effects of Misalignment and Imbalance
(
Hindawi Limited
, 2020 , Article)
In rotating machinery, the second most common fault after imbalance is misalignment. Misalignment can have a severe impact on equipment and may reduce the machine's lifetime considerably. In this paper, the simultaneous ...
The Visibility of Disabilities within Pharmacy Program Recruitment Material.
(
University of Minnesota Libraries Publishing
, 2020 , Article)
Targeted recruitment of students with disabilities is a novel area in pharmacy education and may help to attract qualified students in light of decreasing applicant numbers. The aim of this study was to explore the visibility ...
Turbulence Modeling Using Z-F Model and RSM for Flow Analysis in Z-SHAPE Ducts
(
Wiley
, 2020 , Article)
Turbulent flow in Z-shape duct configuration is investigated using Reynolds stress model (RSM) and ζ-f model and compared to experimental results. Both RSM and ζ-f models are based on steady-state RANS solutions. The focus ...
Epac in vascular smooth muscle cells
(
MDPI
, 2020 , Article Review)
Vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) are major components of blood vessels. They regulate physiological functions, such as vascular tone and blood flow. Under pathological conditions, VSMCs undergo a remodeling process ...
A combined thermo-mechanical refrigeration system with isobaric expander-compressor unit powered by low grade heat – Design and analysis
(
Elsevier
, 2020 , Article)
Refrigeration and air conditioning systems consume about 17% of the world-wide electricity and their conventional refrigerants cause ozone depletion and global warming. In this study a novel thermo-mechanical refrigeration ...
Integrated lab-on-a-chip optical biosensor using ultrathin silicon waveguide soi mmi device
(
MDPI AG
, 2020 , Other)
Waveguides with sub-100 nm thickness offer a promising platform for sensors. We designed and analyzed multimode interference (MMI) devices using these ultrathin platforms for use as biosensors. To verify our design ...
