A study of detonations in high-molecular weight hydrocarbon fuels of interest to pulse detonation engine applications was performed in a 280 mm diameter, 7.3 m long facility. Detonation pressure, wave speed, and cell width measurements were made in JP-10 mixtures and in mixtures representative of the decomposition products of JP-10. Experiments were performed in vapor-phase JP-10 mixtures at 35...

Junctional membrane complexes (JMCs) composed of the plasma membrane and endoplasmic/sarcoplasmic reticulum seem to be a structural platform for channel crosstalk. Junctophilins (JPs) contribute to JMC formation by spanning the sarcoplasmic reticulum membrane and binding with the plasma membrane in muscle cells. In this article, we report that mutant JP double-knockout (JP-DKO) mice lacking neu...

Recent evidence suggests that neurokinin (NK)-receptor activation may have a protective role in maintaining lung integrity when challenged by airborne toxicants such as sulfur dioxide, ozone, acrolein, or hydrocarbons. To investigate the effect of NK1-receptor activation on hydrocarbon-induced lung injury, B6.A.D. (Ahr d/Nats) mice received subchronic exposures to JP-8 jet fuel (JP-8). Lung inj...

This study was performed to analyze the spray, combustion, and air pollutant characteristic of JP-5 fuel for naval aircraft in a spray visualization system single-cylinder CRDI diesel engine that can be visualized. The analysis results were compared with DF. tip penetration showed diminished as developed. had highest ROHR ROPR regardless injection timings. physicochemical characteristics JP-5, ...

A plasma arc welding (PAW)-tungsten inert gas (TIG) hybrid welding process is proposed to weld pure nickel. In PAW-TIG welding, the arc of the PAW was first to be ignited, then TIG was ignited, while in PAW welding, only the PAW arc was launched. This paper investigated the effect of different welding processes on electrochemical and corrosion performance of between a pure nickel joint and a ba...

Jieduquyuziyin prescription (JP), a traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) prescription, has been widely used for the clinical treatment of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). However, the complex chemical constituents of JP and the multifactorial pathogenesis of SLE make research on the therapeutic mechanism of JP in SLE challenging. In this paper, a serum metabolomics approach based on rapid reso...

Abstract: Purpose: This study aims to analyze Knowledge Hiding (KH), Psychological Distress (PD), Stress (PS) on Employees at Mutiara Sukma Mental Hospital NTB. Research Methodology: The sample used was purposive sampling 125 employees of RSJ NTB by distributing online questionnaires. Using the Multiple Linear Regression Analysis method with SPSS version 23 program. Result: results showed that ...

We demonstrate the way to derive second Painlevé equation P2 and its Bäcklund transformations from deformations of Nonlinear Schrödinger (NLS), all while preserving strict invariance with respect Schlesinger transformations. The proposed algorithm allows for a construction Jordan algebra-based completely integrable multiple-field generalizations also producing corresponding suggest calling such...

Purpose: In this article, we examined the mediating effect of employees’ intrinsic motivation (IM) on relationship between Islamic work ethics (IWE) and job performance (JP) in higher education sector Pakistan. A correlational research design was employed to undertake crosssectional study. Methodology: This study conducted using a simple random sampling technique. Findings: The results reveal s...
