Numerical study on prediction and discrimination methods of propeller tip vortex cavitation inception

AIP Advances, 2023
Tip vortex cavitation is typically the first type of cavitation in real ship propellers due to the scale effect. To lessen or eliminate propeller cavitation noise, it is necessary to effectively identify and predict the tip vortex cavitation initiation ...

Dislocation‐Mediated Thermoelectric Performance and Mechanical Behavior

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Dislocations can scatter phonons to reduce thermal conductivity, thereby enhance thermoelectric performance. However, dislocations also impact mechanical properties, leading to increased brittleness and altered plasticity. It is essential to clarify the complex relationship between dislocations, thermal transport, and mechanical stability to achieve a ...

Phytochrome E Plays a Role in the Suppression of Germination in Far‐Red Light in Tomato

Plant Direct
As photoautotrophs, plants use light not only as a source of energy but also as cues for directing growth and development. Phytochromes comprise a small gene family of plant specific light receptors that absorb mostly in the red/far‐red portion of the ...

Intramolecular Down‐ and Up‐Conversion in Dimeric Tetracene Complexes Centered via Platinum(II) and Palladium(II)

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Metal‐tetracene dimeric complexes are synthesized through the pyridyl coordination to either Pt(II) or Pd(II). Photophysical properties are systematically compared as a function of the metal using steady‐state and time‐resolved spectroscopy. The Pt(II) dimer exhibits efficient intramolecular singlet fission and subsequent intramolecular up‐conversion ...
