EXPERIMENTAL AND NUMERICAL STUDY ON THE PERFORMANCE CHANGE OF A SIMPLE PROPELLER SHAPE USING THE COANDA EFFECT

Experimental and Numerical Study on the Performance Change of a Simple Propeller Shape Using the Coanda Effect

In this study, a jet injection propeller was designed to increase its efficiency, and the results were compared by open water tests and numerical computations.Also, the red pygmy dogwood change in shape of the slit and injection volume conditions, which are difficult to perform experiments with, were analyzed through computations.The jet injected f

Methodological constraints in interpreting serum paraoxonase-1 activity measurements: an example from a study in HIV-infected patients

Abstract Background Paraoxonase-1 (PON1) is an antioxidant enzyme that attenuates the production of the monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) in vitro.Although oxidation and inflammation are closely related processes, the association between PON1 and MCP-1 has not been completely characterised due, probably, to that the current use of syntheti

Population Genetic Analysis of the Threatened Plant Leavenworthia exigua var. laciniata (Brassicaceae) Reveals Virtually No Genetic Diversity and a Unique Mating System

Leavenworthia (Brassicaceae) has served as a model group for investigating the evolution of mating systems in plants, yet several Leavenworthia species remain understudied.One such taxon is Leavenworthia exigua var.laciniata, one of three varieties of L.exigua, a winter-annual plant endemic to the central United States.Because L.exigua var.laciniat
