Turbulence Intensity Scaling: A Fugue

open access: yesFluids, 2019
We study streamwise turbulence intensity definitions using smooth- and rough-wall pipe flow measurements made in the Princeton Superpipe. Scaling of turbulence intensity with the bulk (and friction) Reynolds number is provided for the definitions.

CFD model-based analysis and experimental assessment of key design parameters for an integrated unglazed metallic thermal collector façade [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
Active façade systems incorporating solar thermal collectors currently offer very promising energetic solutions. From among the available systems, a simple solution is the unglazed heat collector for potential integration in low-temperature applications.

How aging affects sleep-dependent memory consolidation?

open access: yesFrontiers in Neurology, 2012
Sleep plays multiple functions among which energy conservation or recuperative processes. Besides, growing evidence indicate that sleep plays also a major role in memory consolidation, a process by which recently acquired and labile memory traces are ...

Musical practice and cognitive aging: two cross-sectional studies point phonemic fluency as a potential candidate for a use-dependent adaptation

open access: yesFrontiers in Aging Neuroscience, 2014
Because of permanent use-dependent cerebral plasticity, all lifelong individuals’ experiences are believed to influence the cognitive aging quality. In old individuals, both former and current musical practices have been associated with better verbal ...

Technical analysis of wind energy potentials using a modified Weibull and Raleigh distribution model parameters approach in the Gambia

open access: yesHeliyon, 2023
Wind energy has gained prominence over the past few decades because of its environment-friendly nature and abundant availability. However, the exploration of wind energy requires adequate knowledge of the wind distribution parameters before installing ...

Inhibitory control and visuo-spatial reversibility in Piaget’s seminal number conservation task: A high-density ERP study.

open access: yesFrontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2013
The present high-density ERP study on 13 adults aimed to determine whether number conservation relies on the ability to inhibit the overlearned length-equals-number strategy and then imagine the shortening of the row that was lengthened.

Heat stress during seed filling interferes with sulfur restriction on grain composition and seed germination in oilseed rape (Brassica napus L.)

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2015
In coming decades, increasing temperatures are expected to impact crop yield and seed quality. To develop low input systems, the effects of temperature and sulfur (S) nutrition in oilseed rape, a high S demanding crop, need to be jointly considered.
