Effects of Camber of S‐Series Airfoils on Aerodynamic Performance, Entropy Generation Rate, Irreversibility, and Second Law Efficiency of Horizontal Axis Wind Turbines

open access: yesEnergy Science &Engineering, EarlyView.
Due to the depletion of fossil fuels, enhancing wind turbine efficiency is crucial. Utilizing airfoils with high lift‐to‐drag ratios significantly improves power generation by optimizing aerodynamic parameters. Furthermore, entropy generation analysis serves as an effective method for design optimization by minimizing energy losses and exergy ...

Triggered Calcium Lightning Programs Cochlear Development

open access: yesExploration, EarlyView.
Summary: Before the onset of hearing, the developing inner ear generates spontaneous calcium signals that are thought to guide maturation. In this study, we discovered a rapid and widespread calcium flash—dubbed “Ca2+ lightning”—originating from supporting cells beneath the sensory hair cells, which triggers coordinated calcium waves across the entire ...

N-Acetylcysteine Attenuates Noise-Induced Permanent Hearing Loss in Diabetic Rats

open access: yes, 2011
The purpose of this study is to investigate whether repeated noise exposure aggravates the level of permanent noise- induced hearing loss ( NIHL) in diabetic rats and whether N- acetylcysteine (NAC), a precursor of glutathione, attenuates the level of ...

Motive and Opportunity: Order Choice in a Limit Order Book With Dispersed Information

open access: yesInternational Journal of Finance &Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We test predictions of market microstructure theory relating to the determinants of order choice in a limit order book where information is dispersed among traders. Using an experimental limit order book, with a large state space, we find that informed traders exhibit patience, compatible with the ‘waiting game’ behaviour described in Foster ...

Humanism in the Age of Hyperreality: A Speculative Critique of AI Therapybots and the Neoliberal Commodification of Human Beings

open access: yesThe Journal of Humanistic Counseling, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This article examines the future place of humanistic counseling, assuming the successful mass deployment of artificial intelligence therapy chatbots (AITCs). We systematically identify the limitations of AITCs through the lens of Jean Baudrillard's view on simulacra and hyperreality and identify five collective psychosocial consequences of ...
