Aerodynamic performances of rounded fastback vehicle [PDF]

Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, Part D: Journal of Automobile Engineering, 2017
Experimental and numerical analyzes were performed to investigate the aerodynamic performances of a realistic vehicle with a different afterbody rounding. This afterbody rounding resulted in a reduction to drag and lift at a yaw angle of zero, while the crosswind performances were degraded.

Function‐driven design of a surrogate interleukin‐2 receptor ligand

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Interleukin (IL)‐2 signaling can be achieved and precisely fine‐tuned through the affinity, distance, and orientation of the heterodimeric receptors with their ligands. We designed a biased IL‐2 surrogate ligand that selectively promotes effector T and natural killer cell activation and differentiation. Interleukin (IL) receptors play a pivotal role in

Aerodynamic Performance of Road Vehicles

International Journal of Innovative Technology and Exploring Engineering, 2020
Aerodynamic drag has been experimentally estimated for scale models of a passenger car and a commercial truck in a wind tunnel. Polished surface has resulted up to 15 % reduction in drag force and add-on has resulted in 57% increase in drag force of a car model whereas 2.6 % reduction in drag force has resulted by using deflector in a commercial truck ...

Multiple ETS family transcription factors bind mutant p53 via distinct interaction regions

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Mutant p53 gain‐of‐function is thought to be mediated by interaction with other transcription factors. We identify multiple ETS transcription factors that can bind mutant p53 and found that this interaction can be promoted by a PXXPP motif. ETS proteins that strongly bound mutant p53 were upregulated in ovarian cancer compared to ETS proteins that ...

Airfoil Design Optimization of Blended Wing Body for Various Aerodynamic and Stealth Stations

Aerospace
The airfoil is the foundation of an aircraft, and its characteristics have a significant impact on those of the aircraft. Conventional airfoil design mainly focuses on improving aerodynamic performance, while flying wing airfoil designs should also ...

Effect of Geometric Scaling on Aerodynamic Performance

AIAA Journal, 2005
Miniaturization of modern electronics and simultaneous elevation in heat dissipation means that future compact electronic systems are likely to be too hot to be held in the users hand. As a result, novel compact cooling technologies are required. In systems such as mobile phones and palmtop computers, macroscale fans cannot be used to overcome this ...

Sequence determinants of RNA G‐quadruplex unfolding by Arg‐rich regions

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
We show that Arg‐rich peptides selectively unfold RNA G‐quadruplexes, but not RNA stem‐loops or DNA/RNA duplexes. This length‐dependent activity is inhibited by acidic residues and is conserved among SR and SR‐related proteins (SRSF1, SRSF3, SRSF9, U1‐70K, and U2AF1).
