this paper deals with aerodynamic design of fan and compressor assembly for turbofan engines having arbitrary by-pass ratios. two different softwares were developed in this respect. first, based on general performance data at design point condition, a one-dimensional approach was activated. initial flow passages of both fan and compressor, together with splitter position were developed utilizin...

suppose $pi:mathcal{a}rightarrow mathcal{b}$ is a surjective unital $ast$-homomorphism between c*-algebras $mathcal{a}$ and $mathcal{b}$, and $0leq aleq1$ with $ain  mathcal{a}$. we give a sufficient condition that ensures there is a proection $pin mathcal{a}$ such that $pi left( pright) =pi left( aright) $. an easy consequence is a result of [l. g. brown and g. k. pedersen, c*-algebras of real...

Background Proper nasal tip projection and rotation are essential for an aesthetically pleasing nose. However, East Asians usually have thicker skin underdeveloped cartilage compared to Caucasians. Thus, techniques such as the septal extension graft, columellar strut L-shaped alloplastic implants been introduced additional support projection. no consensus exists regarding optimal method.Methods...

The quality of Chinese herbal medicine tablets suffers from batch-to-batch variability due to a lack of manufacturing process understanding. In this paper, the Panax notoginseng saponins (PNS) immediate release tablet was taken as the research subject. By defining the dissolution of five active pharmaceutical ingredients and the tablet tensile strength as critical quality attributes (CQAs), inf...

Polarizing cells extensively restructure cellular components in a spatially and temporally coupled manner along the major axis of cellular extension. Budding yeast are a useful model of polarized growth, helping to define many molecular components of this conserved process. Besides budding, yeast cells also differentiate upon treatment with pheromone from the opposite mating type, forming a mat...

Mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs) are involved in stress signaling to the actin cytoskeleton in yeast and animals. We have analyzed the function of the stress-activated alfalfa MAP kinase SIMK in root hairs. In epidermal cells, SIMK is predominantly nuclear. During root hair formation, SIMK was activated and redistributed from the nucleus into growing tips of root hairs possessing dense...

The dynamic localization of endosomal compartments labeled with targeted fluorescent protein tags is routinely followed by time lapse fluorescence microscopy approaches and single particle tracking algorithms. In this way trajectories of individual endosomes can be mapped and linked to physiological processes as cell growth. However, other aspects of dynamic behavior including endosomal interac...
