Novel ultrasonic bat deterrents based on aerodynamic whistles [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 Novel ultrasonic bat deterrents based on aerodynamic whistles are investigated experimentally and numerically. The baseline deterrent, a single-whistle design inspired by Beeken [1], is examined first. It consists of two resonating cavities/chambers. The whistle is ``powered'' by a regulated high-pressure air supply and the performance of the whistle ...

A molecular equation of state for alcohols which includes steric hindrance in hydrogen bonding [PDF]
The Journal of Chemical Physics 149, 044505 (2018), 2018 In this paper we develop the first equation of state for alcohol containing mixtures which includes the effect of steric hindrance between the two electron lone pair hydrogen bond acceptor sites on the alcohol's hydroxyl oxygen. The theory is derived for multi-component mixtures within Wertheim's multi-density statistical mechanics in a second order ...

Three-year mortality among alcoholic patients after intensive care: a population-based cohort study
Critical Care, 2012 IntroductionAlcoholic patients comprise a large proportion of patients in intensive care units (ICUs). However, data are limited on the impact of alcoholism on mortality after intensive care.MethodsWe conducted a cohort study among 16,848 first-time ICU ...

Review of Magnetic Shark Deterrents: Hypothetical Mechanisms and Evidence for Selectivity [PDF]
Aquatic Science and Technology, ISSN 2168-9148, 2015, Vol. 3, No.
1, 2014 Several papers published since 2006 describe effects of magnetic fields on elasmobranchs and assess their utility in reducing negative interactions between sharks and humans, including bycatch reduction. Most of these repeat a single untested hypothesis regarding physical mechanisms by which elasmobranchs detect magnetic fields and also neglect careful

Identification of novel small molecule inhibitors of ETS transcription factors
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.ETS transcription factors play an essential role in tumourigenesis and are indispensable for sprouting angiogenesis, a hallmark of cancer, which fuels tumour expansion and dissemination. Thus, targeting ETS transcription factor function could represent an effective, multifaceted strategy to block tumour growth. The evolutionarily conserved E‐Twenty‐Six

CHD Risk Minimization through Lifestyle Control: Machine Learning Gateway [PDF]
Scientific Reports volume 10, Article number: 4090 (2020), 2020 Studies on the influence of a modern lifestyle in abetting Coronary Heart Diseases (CHD) have mostly focused on deterrent health factors, like smoking, alcohol intake, cheese consumption and average systolic blood pressure, largely disregarding the impact of a healthy lifestyle in mitigating CHD risk. In this study, 30+ years' World Health Organization

Investigating Interactions of Biomembranes and Alcohols: A Multiscale Approach [PDF]
, 2004 We study the interaction of lipid bilayers with short chain alcohols using molecular dynamics on different length scales. We use detailed atomistic modeling and modeling on the length scale where an alcohol is just an amphiphilic dimer. Our strategy is to calibrate a coarse--grained model against the detailed model at selected state points at low ...
