Computational fluid dynamics simulations of airflow through the nasal passages of rhinolophoid bats

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The nasal passages of bats that emit their echolocation call through their nostrils have adapted for sound emission as well as standard respiratory and olfactory functions. Rhinolophids, hipposiderids and rhinonycterids all use a high duty cycle (HDC) echolocation strategy.

The Application of Non-Axisymmetric Endwall Contouring in a 1½ Stage, Rotating Turbine [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Today gas turbines are a crucial part of the global power generation and aviation industries. Small improvements to the efficiencies of individual components within the gas flow path can, over time, lead to dramatic cost savings for the operator and at ...

Digital innovation for a greener future: the role of artificial intelligence in Europe's biofuel transition

open access: yesBiofuels, Bioproducts and Biorefining, EarlyView.
Abstract This study investigates the relationship between artificial intelligence (AI) development and biofuel production using a balanced panel dataset of 12 European Union (EU) countries over the 2008–2024 period. Employing feasible generalized least squares (FGLS) estimation with distributed lag specifications, the analysis controls for Renewable ...

A Method for Optical Quantification of Local Oxygen Limitations in Multiphase Bioreactors

open access: yesBiotechnology and Bioengineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Spatial oxygen limitation is a major source of physiological stress and metabolic, scale‐dependent heterogeneity in aerobic bioprocesses. In gas‐liquid stirred tank reactors, oxygen availability is governed by hydrodynamics and mass transfer and is therefore inherently non‐uniform.
