Onsager's Cross Coupling Effects in Gas Flows Confined to Micro-channels
, 2016 In rarefied gases, mass and heat transport processes interfere with each other, leading to the mechano-caloric effect and thermo-osmotic effect, which are of interest to both theoretical study and practical applications. We employ the unified gas-kinetic

Ketone bodies mimic the life span extending properties of caloric restriction
IUBMB Life - A Journal of the International Union of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, 2017 The extension of life span by caloric restriction has been studied across species from yeast and Caenorhabditis elegans to primates. No generally accepted theory has been proposed to explain these observations.

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.The share of technical thermoplastics is expected to grow further in the e‐mobility segment. In this study, a detailed temperature‐based tribological characterization of technical thermoplastics is performed. The tribological properties are discussed in terms of the dynamic mechanical properties of polymers at different ambient temperatures. A proof of

Is undernutrition responsive to changes in incomes? [PDF]
This paper discusses the effect that changes in individual incomes have on aggregate undernutrition. Undernutrition depends not only on nutrient intakes but on other factors, including nutrient requirements - which may differ widely amongst people.

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.The role of various alloying elements in face‐centered cubic aluminum on the barrier of a Shockley partial dislocation during its motion is presented. The study aims to understand how alloying atoms such as Mg, Si, and Zr affect the energy landscape for dislocation motion, thus influencing the solid solution hardening and softening in aluminum, which ...

High‐Temperature Oxidation of the CrFeNi Medium‐Entropy Alloy
Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.The oxidation behavior of equiatomic CrFeNi MEA is a key issue that determines this material's suitability for high‐temperature application. The understanding of long‐term behavior is even more crucial than short‐term corrosion effects. The alloy is exposed to synthetic air at 1000, 1050, and 1100 °C for 24, 100, and 1000 h and systematically compared ...

Maternal age alters offspring lifespan, fitness, and lifespan extension under caloric restriction
Scientific Reports, 2019 Maternal age has a negative effect on offspring lifespan in a range of taxa and is hypothesized to influence the evolution of aging. However, the mechanisms of maternal age effects are unknown, and it remains unclear if maternal age alters offspring ...

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.This study designs Ta–Mo–Cr–Ti–Al refractory high‐entropy alloys with a disordered body‐centered‐cubic A2 crystal structure aiming for improved ductility, lower density, and oxidation resistance. Four alloy compositions are identified by thermodynamic calculations.
