Ice flashover threatens the security and reliability of power transmission. However, the ice flashover mechanism of insulators remains poorly understood. This study analyses water droplet freezing and ion distribution in ice layer under alternating electric field. It also investigates ion migration during icing process of insulator string under alternating electric field and its effects on insu...

In this study, the multiphase multicomponent Shan-Chen lattice Boltzmann method is employed to analyze impact of capillary force on oil-CO2-water fluid flow and enhanced oil recovery. Various sizes single throat are designed simulate interaction between displacing displaced phases as well their mechanical equilibrium. Several sensitivities taken into account, such wettability, miscibility, inte...

The risk of neurological diseases increases with age. In WAG/Rij rat model of absence epilepsy, the incidence of epileptic spike-wave discharges is known to be elevated with age. Considering close relationship between epileptic spike-wave discharges and physiologic sleep spindles, it was assumed that age-dependent increase of epileptic activity may affect time-frequency characteristics of sleep...

Gas reservoirs usually have high recovery due to high mobility and low residual gas saturation, although some of them producing under water-drive mechanism have low recovery efficiency. Encroachment of water into these reservoirs traps considerable amount of gas and increases the maximum residual gas saturation, which results in the reduction of gas and condensate production. Generally, the rec...

A 2-yr study was conducted to evaluate 1) steers fed ad libitum high concentrate after weaning (CONC), or 2) steers grown on pasture for 82 d, followed by high-concentrate finishing (PAST), on the performance and carcass traits of 74 early-weaned (117 d of age) steers. Potential breed differences were evaluated using crossbred steers of three types: 1) 3/4 Angus x 1/4 Simmental (BRI), 2) 3/4 Si...

Potential breed differences were evaluated using steers of three different breed types: 1) 3⁄4 Angus x 1⁄4 Simmental (BRI), 2) 3...

Objective: In the last two decades, research on epigenetic mechanisms has expanded dramatically. Recent studies demonstrated that regulate epilepsy and epileptogenic pathologies. this study, we aimed to investigate changes in promoter methylation status of voltage-gated T-type calcium channel alpha 1 subunit G (CACNA1G) gene total histone deacetylase activity Wistar Albino Glaxo/Rijswijk (WAG/R...

An external transverse-alternating magnetic field with sinusoidal and triangular alternating currents was applied to a combined plasma arc to create a plasma arc for expanding the cross section of arc column and flatting the distributions of arc temperature. Two mathematical models were developed to describe the heat flux density distributions of the combined plasma arc driven by a transverse-a...

Metallic nanoparticles are widely used in cosmetics, food products and textile industry. These particles are known to cause respiratory toxicity and epithelial inflammation. They are eventually released to aquatic environment necessitating toxicity studies in cells from respiratory organs of aquatic organisms. Hence, we have developed and characterized a new cell line, WAG, from gill tissue of ...
