Highway to the Comfort Zone: History of the Psychrometric Chart

Buildings, 2023
The psychrometric chart is the most common data visualization technique for the designers of thermal comfort systems worldwide. From its humble roots as means of expressing the characteristics of air in building systems design, the use of the chart has ...

Hydrodynamic Lubrication Effects of Multiple Circular Bump Pattern for a Thrust Sliding Bearing of a Scroll Compressor

Tribology Online, 2012
The optimum texturing pattern for a thrust sliding bearing of a scroll compressor was investigated. As the basis of lubrication analysis for multiple circular bumps pattern, fundamental hydrodynamic lubrication effects of the axisymmetric circular ...

The effect of misalignment on the performance of tilting pad thrust bearing with TEHD coupling model and turbulence model

Advances in Mechanical Engineering, 2023
A thermoelastohydrodynamic (TEHD) coupling model is developed to study the static performance of a heavy-duty tilting pad thrust bearing (TPTB) under the effect of axis misalignment.

Computational fluid dynamics model for a variable conductance thermosyphon

Case Studies in Thermal Engineering, 2021
A variable conductance thermosyphon is a unique type of heat pipe that responds passively to changes in thermal environment because of the presence of non-condensable gas (NCG).

Cool Games, Cool Japan

, 2022
In this article, the author explores how games entice players to travel and explore in virtual worlds. By using the concept of staged atmospheres and investigating the cultural motifs used in games such as CYBERPUNK 2077 and GHOST OF TSUSHIMA, the article also argues the contrasting perception of Japan's soft power since the cyberpunk cinema era versus

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).

Experimental Study of the Cross-Influence of Frost Morphology and Defrost Strategy on the Performance of Tube-Fin Evaporators of Household Refrigerators

Thermo
This study is aimed at evaluating the combined influence of running conditions that affect frost morphology and defrost strategies on the thermal-fluid-dynamic performance of tube-fin ‘no-frost’ evaporators.

Low cost fast frequency switching driver for Acousto-Optic Modulators used in laser cooling

HardwareX, 2019
In many laser atom cooling experiments, Acousto-Optic Modulators (AOM) are used to modulate a laser beam frequency close to an electronic resonance of the atoms.
