Thrust-isolating mounting [PDF]

open access: yes, 1974
A supporting frame for a load, such as one or more telescopes, is isolated from all multi-gravitational forces, which will be developed within that load as that load is propelled into space, by using a shroud to fully and solidly hold that load until ...

Transfer of Energy and Momentum Between Magnetoactive Surface Microstructure and a Solid Object

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
We demonstrate that magnetoactive multilamellar arrays subjected to a rotating magnetic field can function as platforms for controlled transport of physical objects. Through systematic experimental investigation, we elucidate the underlying physical mechanisms determining the upper limit of the achievable transportation speed in such magnetic “conveyor‐

DNA actively regulates the “safety-belt” dynamics of condensin during loop extrusion

open access: yesNature Communications
Condensin plays an essential role in genome folding through its active DNA loop extrusion activity. Condensin contains a binding interface between its Ycg1 HEAT-repeat subunit and the Brn1 kleisin, together forming a “safety-belt” DNA-binding groove ...

Performance and Emissions of Camelina Biodiesel–Jet A Blends in a Micro-Gas Turbine as a Sustainable Pathway for Aviation

open access: yesFire
This study investigates the performance, emissions, and physicochemical characteristics of a small-scale gas turbine fueled with Jet A and camelina biodiesel blends (B10, B20, and B30). The blends were characterized by slightly higher density (up to +3%),

Study on the thrust generated by a thin plate imitating fish’s caudal fin

open access: yesNihon Kikai Gakkai ronbunshu, 2016
Purpose of this study is to investigate the relation between the shape of a thin plate and thrust force. The thin plate is what imitates the fish’s caudal fin. We adopt an equilateral triangular, square, regular pentagon and hexagon as the shape of the

Influence of an Argon/Silane Atmosphere on the Temperature of a Thermal Plasma

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
The influence of a silane‐doped argon atmosphere on the chemical composition and temperature of a thermal nontransferring argon plasma is investigated using optical emission spectroscopy. As a result of the high amount of free electrons resulting from the stepwise ionization and dissociation of the silane molecule, even a silane addition of 0.01 vol ...

Removing Homocoupling Defects in Alkoxy/Alkyl‐PBTTT Enhances Polymer:Fullerene Co‐Crystal Formation and Stability

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
PBTTT‐OR‐R, a C14‐alkoxy/alkyl‐PBTTT polymer derivative, is of substantial interest for optoelectronics due to its specific fullerene intercalation behavior and enhanced charge‐transfer absorption. Comparing this polymer with (S) and without (O) homocoupling defects reveals that PBTTT‐OR‐R(O) forms stable co‐crystals with PC61BM, while PBTTT‐OR‐R(S ...

Evaluation of various thrust calculation techniques on an F404 engine [PDF]

open access: yes
In support of performance testing of the X-29A aircraft at the NASA-Ames, various thrust calculation techniques were developed and evaluated for use on the F404-GE-400 engine. The engine was thrust calibrated at NASA-Lewis.

Understanding and Optimizing Li Substitution in P2‐Type Sodium Layered Oxides for Sodium‐Ion Batteries

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
This work explores Li‐substituted P2 layered oxides for Na‐ion batteries by crystallographic and electrochemical studies. The effect of lithium on superstructure orderings, on phase transitions during synthesis and electrochemical cycling and on the interplay of O‐ versus TM‐redox is revealed via various advanced techniques, including semi‐simultaneous
