Influence of Radial Pressure Gradient on Secondary Flows: Numerical Study and Design Optimization for High-Speed Annular Sector Cascades

open access: yesInternational Journal of Turbomachinery, Propulsion and Power
Secondary flow phenomena have a significant influence on the generation of losses and the propagation of coolant on the turbine end walls. The majority of film cooling studies are carried out on linear rather than annular cascades due to the structural ...

Protein pyrophosphorylation by inositol pyrophosphates — detection, function, and regulation

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Protein pyrophosphorylation is an unusual signaling mechanism that was discovered two decades ago. It can be driven by inositol pyrophosphate messengers and influences various cellular processes. Herein, we summarize the research progress and challenges of this field, covering pathways found to be regulated by this posttranslational modification as ...

On convergence of the maximum block improvement method

open access: yes, 2015
. The MBI (maximum block improvement) method is a greedy approach to solving optimization problems where the decision variables can be grouped into a finite number of blocks. Assuming that optimizing over one block of variables while fixing all others is

The (Glg)ABCs of cyanobacteria: modelling of glycogen synthesis and functional divergence of glycogen synthases in Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
We reconstituted Synechocystis glycogen synthesis in vitro from purified enzymes and showed that two GlgA isoenzymes produce glycogen with different architectures: GlgA1 yields denser, highly branched glycogen, whereas GlgA2 synthesizes longer, less‐branched chains.

Multi-Objective Optimization of the Hydrodynamic Performance of the Second Stage of a Multi-Phase Pump

open access: yesEnergies, 2017
Most multi-phase pumps used in crude oil production have been developed to satisfy certain pressure specifications. In the design of these pumps, the flow characteristics of the posterior stage are different from those of the prior stage. For this reason,
