Demand for lower fuel consumption, more power and improved reliability keeps engine manufacturers constantly renewing their market offerings. Simultaneously, the growing number of aircraft models on the market, due to both the emergence of the very light jet (VLJ) segment and the numerous derivative designs aircraft makers are marketing, demands an ever expanding range of engines. In its busine...

Background: To establish a distant metastasis (DM) cells must disseminate from the primary tumor and overcome a series of obstacles, the metastatic cascade. In this study we develop a mathematical model for this cascade to estimate the tumor size and the circulating tumor cell (CTC) load before the first metastasis has formed from a primary breast cancer tumor. Methods: The metastatic cascade i...

Article H.6 of the Shenzhen Code (Turland & al. in Regnum Veg. 159. 2018) provides instructions for formation nothogeneric names intergeneric hybrids. H.6.3 and H.6.4, dealing with hybrids involving three or more genera, provide a name to be formed from person which is added termination -ara. This very workable procedure. However, when personal used already ends -a, addition -ara produces doubl...

We characterize the optimal regulatory policy to promote demand response in the electricity sector. Demand response arises when consumers reduce their purchases of electricity in times of peak demand, when the utility’s marginal cost of supplying electricity is relatively high. The optimal policy differs systematically from the policy in the U. S. Federal Energy Regulatory Commission’s (FERC’s)...

Aquaporins form a family of water and solute channel proteins and are present in most living organisms. In plants, aquaporins play an important role in the regulation of root water transport in response to abiotic stresses. In this work, we investigated the role of phosphorylation of plasma membrane intrinsic protein (PIP) aquaporins in the Arabidopsis thaliana root by a combination of quantita...
