Investigation of ethanol blending on soot particle evolution in counterflow diffusion flames of a gasoline surrogate

Applications in Energy and Combustion Science
Across all transport sectors, there is an increasing recognition of the importance of reducing not only CO2 emissions but also other climate-impacting pollutants, such as soot particulate matter.

Osteological correlates of the respiratory and vascular systems in the neural canals of Mesozoic ornithurines Ichthyornis and Janavis

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract In birds, the neural canal houses a variety of anatomical structures including the spinal cord, meninges, spinal vasculature, and respiratory diverticula. Among these, paramedullary diverticula and the extradural dorsal spinal vein may leave behind osteological correlates in the form of pneumatic foramina and fossae, and a bilobed geometry of ...

The influence of rivers on seabird foraging ecology

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Rivers act as vital arteries to the world's oceans, delivering fresh water and nutrients that sustain marine ecosystems. Globally, river flow increasingly is being altered by climate change and anthropogenic pressures; yet the significance of rivers to predatory marine species, such as seabirds, and the extent to which river‐related changes ...

Two-dimensional soot volume fraction measurements in flames doped with large hydrocarbons [PDF]

Proceedings of the Combustion Institute, 2017
Abstract Developing diesel surrogates that mimic the essential characteristics of target fuels such as their sooting tendency and volatility is a necessary but challenging endeavor, owing in part to the scarcity of available experimental sooting data for compounds in the appropriate high molecular weight range.

Protocol for Reconstituting Adaptor‐Mediated Activation of Full‐Length Kinesin‐1

Cytoskeleton, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Kinesin‐1 is a member of the kinesin superfamily that plays an essential role in intracellular cargo transport. In the absence of cargo, Kinesin‐1 exhibits low motor activity due to autoinhibition. Multiple studies have demonstrated that adaptor proteins, which link cargos to Kinesin‐1, can activate Kinesin‐1 by releasing the autoinhibition ...

Climate Change, Air Quality, and Pollen Allergies-State of the Art and Recommendations for Research and Public Health. [PDF]

Allergy
ABSTRACT Allergies are one of the major health challenges of our time, associated with a high individual burden of disease and high costs for the healthcare system. Given their prevalence, allergies are also highly relevant from a public health perspective. The development of allergic diseases is multifactorial. In addition to individual factors (e.g.,

Numerical Simultaneous Determination of Non-Uniform Soot Temperature and Volume Fraction from Visible Flame Images

Energies, 2022
This paper presents a method to invert the two-dimensional distribution of a temperature and volume concentration of soot particles from color images. By using numerical simulation, the temperature field and particle volume-concentration field of a non ...
