The concepts studied during Offset Stream Technology (OST) test were all designed to produce directional jet noise reduction in a separate flow engine configuration by redirecting the fan stream relative to the core stream, creating a thicker fan flow on one side of the jet. Previous studies, conducted at bypass ratios of five or less showed that lower noise levels would result on the thickened...

Background: An important mechanism for gene regulation utilizes small non-coding RNAs called microRNAs (miRNAs). These small RNAs play important roles in tissue development, cell differentiation and proliferation, lipid and fat metabolism, stem cells, exocytosis, diseases and cancers. To date, relatively little is known about functions of miRNAs in the lung except lung cancer. Results: In this ...
