Evaluation of the effects of a load shedding at a lignite power plant
Energy Science & Engineering, 2021 The load‐shedding scenario describes an unscheduled load reduction in a power plant so that it produces only the electricity that is needed by the plant itself. The reason for such a scenario is a collapse of power supply in the transmission network.

Hurricane Sandy and engineered response created habitat for a threatened shorebird
Ecosphere, 2019 The intensity of Atlantic Ocean hurricanes is predicted to increase, and although disturbance is recognized as a fundamental driver of ecological processes, the benefits of hurricanes to ecological systems are seldom acknowledged.

Experimental Investigation on the Acoustic Scattering Matrix for a Centrifugal Pump
Proceedings, 2018 Fluid-dynamic noise in centrifugal pumps as a significant sound source in piping systems has gained high attention due to the requirements of vibration and noise reduction in many fields. The acoustic characteristics of the fluid-dynamic noise from pumps

Nonlinear Coupled Motions of a Pipe-in-Pipe System Experiencing Vortex-Induced Vibrations
Nonlinear Dynamics, 2023 Abstract This paper delves into the dynamics of the pipe-in-pipe system, crucial in offshore oil and gas exploration, featuring an inner drill string nestled within an outer riser. A reduced-order model with five degrees of freedom is proposed to capture the coupled dynamics of this system.

“Pipe organ” air-coupled broad bandwidth transducer [PDF]
2017 IEEE International Ultrasonics Symposium (IUS), 2017 Air-coupled transducers are used to conduct fast non-contact inspections in NDT. Normally, the bandwidth of a conventional transducer can be enhanced, but with a cost to its sensitivity. However, low sensitivity is very disadvantageous in air-coupled devices. This paper presents a methodology for improving the bandwidth of an air-coupled micro-machined

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.CDT1 is an essential protein for DNA replication licensing that loads the MCM complex, the eukaryotic replicative DNA helicase, onto replication origins. Overexpression of CDT1 induces cell cycle arrest at the S phase. Here we showed CDT1 inhibits the progression of replication forks by interacting with the MCM complex, leading to the stalling and ...
