3-5 Analysis of Plant Cell Dynamics

Three Dimensional Computational Fluid Dynamics Analysis of a Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cell

A full three-dimensional, single phase computational fluid dynamics model of a proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) with both the gas distribution flow channels and the Membrane Electrode Assembly (MEA) has been developed. A single set of conservation equations which are valid for the flow channels, gas-diffusion electrodes, catalyst layers, and the membrane region are developed and numer...

Actin Dynamics in the Plant Cell

Dynamic rearrangements of the actin cytoskeleton are one of the fastest responses of the plant cell to environmental signals and an important part of developmental programs. The turnover rate of actin microfilaments and supramolecular structures is several orders higher than that of actin proteins and mRNAs. The high rate of actin polymerization in the cell is provided by specific nucleating ma...

Dynamics of a discrete-time plant-herbivore model

Effects on the 5 Dynamics of Plant – Herbivore 6 Models with Monotonic Plant 7 Growth Functions

We formulate general plant–herbivore interaction models with monotone plant growth 21 functions (rates). We study the impact of monotone plant growth functions in general 22 plant–herbivore models on their dynamics. Our study shows that all monotone plant 23 growth models generate a unique interior equilibrium and they are uniform persistent 24 under certain range of parameters values. However,...

Energy Price Analysis of a Biomass Gasification-Solid Oxide Fuel Cell-Gas Turbine Power Plant

In this study, effect of energy price on the development of a biomass gasification-solid oxide fuel cell-gas turbine hybrid power plant has been considered. Although, these hybrid systems have been studied based on sustainable approaches, economic aspects, specifically conventional energy prices, which are the principal bottleneck for the development of these new power generators, have attracte...
