This study presents a feasibility study for an induction motor rim drive to power aircraft boundary-layer-ingestion (BLI) fans.The design is developed from a BLI-fan specification for traditional aircraft architecture: the rotor is Mug fastened to the rim of the blade shroud, not to obstruct the fan duct and interfere with the air flow.The main obj

Recent work using tools from quantum information theory has shown that for small systems where quantum effects become prevalent, Sticker Pack there is not one thermodynamical second law but many.Derivations of these laws assume that an experimenter has very precise control of the system and heat bath.Here we show that these multitude of laws can be

There is a need to extend the planting season of conifer regeneration into periods where the soil remains unfrozen due to a lack of available labor and the mechanization of planting.This study investigated how the summer- (August) and autumn-, especially late autumn (mid-September to mid-October) plantings affect the field performance of Scots pine

During an inspection in plastic houses in Sapopema, Paraná, 90% of tomato plants showed leaf abnormalities, probably associated with herbicide toxity.However, virus like symptoms developed in selected hosts after mechanical inoculatation.RT-PCR reactions using primers for an internal region within the movement protein gene of TMV and ToMV resulted

Abstract Background Few somatic mutations have been linked to breast cancer metastasis, whereas transcriptomic differences among primary tumors correlate with incidence of metastasis, especially to the lungs and brain.However, the epigenomic alterations and transcription factors (TFs) which underlie these alterations remain unclear.Methods To ident
