Different problems may cause distortion of the rotor, and hence vibration, which is the most severe damage of the turbine rotors. Different techniques have been developed for the straightening of bent rotors. The method for straightening can be selected according to initial information from preliminary inspections and tests such as nondestructive tests, chemical analysis, run out tests and also...

Quercetin is the most abundant flavonoid molecules, widely distributed in the plant kingdom and has a wide range of uses. The aim of the study was to determine the LD50 of onion skin quercetin (OSQ) and its effect on the liver and kidney of mice. The study consists of 2 phases. In phase 1, nine mice BALB/c were divided into three groups of three mice each. The mice in each group received OSQ at...

The ability to deploy neural networks in realworld, safety-critical systems is severely limited by the presence of adversarial examples: slightly perturbed inputs that are misclassified by the network. In recent years, several techniques have been proposed for increasing robustness to adversarial examples — and yet most of these have been quickly shown to be vulnerable to future attacks. For ex...

It is well known that the instability of boundary layers is sensitive to the mean velocity profile, so that a small distortion to the basic flow may have a detrimental effect on its stability. The main interest of the present paper is in investigating the mechanisms by which a relatively weak distortion can significantly affect the instability of an otherwiseuniform Blasius flow. Specifically, ...

Running title: Genetics of speciation in Drosophila pseudoobscura. ABSTRACT Understanding the genetic basis of reproductive isolation between recently diverged species is a central problem in evolutionary genetics. Here, I present analyses of the genetic architecture underlying hybrid male sterility and segregation distortion between the Bogota and USA subspecies of D. pseudoobscura. Previously...
