Sealing Performance of the End Fitting of a Marine Unbonded Flexible Pipe under Pressure Penetration [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Applied and Computational Mechanics, 2020
The sealing performance of end fittings is very important for offshore oil and gas pipelines. To investigate the sealing behavior of a ring-shaped wedge seal, global and local numerical models of the ring–pipe interaction have been developed based on the

Radical‐Mediated Dispersion Breaks Aggregation Limits in Carbon Thermoelectrics

open access: yesAngewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
We report a rationally designed small molecule (OTN) that effectively disperses SWCNTs via π–π and radical‐radical interactions, yielding hybrid films with a record power factor of 30.1 µW cm−1 K−2 and excellent flexibility. A nine‐leg device achieves a record normalized power density of 0.653 µW cm−2 K−2, setting a new benchmark for carbon‐based ...

Bronchoalveolar Lavage Cytology Characteristics and Seasonal Changes in a Herd of Pastured Teaching Horses

open access: yesFrontiers in Veterinary Science, 2019
Equine asthma syndrome (EAS) is a common problem that affects horses of any age. Severe EAS is reported to affect 10–20% of adult horses in the northern hemisphere, while mild/moderate EAS is reported to affect 60–100% of adult horses, depending on the ...

Equine recurrent airway obstruction [PDF]

open access: yesMacedonian Veterinary Review, 2014
Equine Recurrent Airway Obstruction (RAO), also known as heaves or broken wind, is one of the most common disease in middle-aged horses. Inflammation of the airway is inducted by organic dust exposure.

A comparison of nanoparticulate CpG immunotherapy with and without allergens in spontaneously equine asthma‐affected horses, an animal model

open access: yesImmunity, Inflammation and Disease, 2018
Introduction New therapeutic strategies to modulate the immune response of human and equine allergic asthma are still under extensive investigation. Immunomodulating agents stimulating T‐regulatory cells offer new treatment options beyond conventional ...

Immunomodulatory asthma therapy in the equine animal model: A dose‐response study and evaluation of a long‐term effect

open access: yesImmunity, Inflammation and Disease, 2019
Introduction Equine asthma represents a naturally occurring animal model for human allergic neutrophilic asthma. Inhalative nanoparticle‐bound cytosine‐phosphate‐guanosine (CpG‐GNP) immunotherapy, independent of specific allergens, has already shown ...

An approach to determine brittle upper crustal thinning: Insights into crustal extension discrepancy in the central part of Qiongdongnan Basin

open access: yesFrontiers in Earth Science, 2023
Summing fault heaves is the most commonly used method to evaluate upper crustal thinning. However, since fault deformation width (W) is often assumed as a constant in the range of 75–150 km, the stretching factor estimated from fault geometry (βf ...

Fecal microbiota in horses with asthma

open access: yesJournal of Veterinary Internal Medicine, 2020
Background Gastrointestinal microbiota can be influenced by several factors, including diet and systemic inflammation, and in turn could act as a modulator of the allergic response.

On the Responses of Braced Diaphragm Wall Supporting Deep Excavation Subjected to Asymmetric Surcharge Loads

open access: yesAdvances in Civil Engineering, 2023
As cities grow, so does the need for housing and transportation infrastructure, necessitating deep excavations. Near the deep excavation, especially in the urban centers, there are existing structures whose loads are often different, resulting in ...
