In May–June 2017 an expedition on board RV Investigator sampled benthic communities along the lower slope and abyss of Australia’s eastern margin from off mid-Tasmania to Coral Sea. Over 200 annelids family Serpulidae collected during voyage were deposited in Australian Museum Sydney. Among them there was a new species poorly known abyssal (3754–4378 m) genus Spirodiscus. Serpulids typically bu...

Turbulent wake flows behind helical- and straight-bladed vertical axis wind turbines (VAWTs) in boundary layer turbulence are numerically studied using the large-eddy simulation (LES) method combined with actuator line model. Based on LES data, systematic statistical analyses performed to explore effects of blade geometry characteristics turbine wake. The time-averaged velocity fields show that...

We report superconducting phase-periodic conductance oscillations in ferromagnetic wires with interfaces to conventional superconductors. The ferromagnetic wires were made of Ho, a conical ferromagnet. The distance between the interfaces was much larger than the singlet superconducting penetration depth. We explain the observed oscillations as due to the long-range penetration of an unusual hel...

Heat shock factor-binding protein (HSBP) 1 is a small, evolutionarily conserved protein originally identified in a yeast two-hybrid screen using the trimerization domain of heat shock factor (HSF) 1 as the bait. Similar in size to HSF1 trimerization domain, human HSBP1 contains two arrays of hydrophobic heptad repeats (designated HR-N and HR-C) characteristic of coiled-coil proteins. Proteins o...

Abstract A new coupled numerical model of the overall vapor-compression cycle and water heater was developed in order to analyze influence condenser coil designs on heat transfer process a helical exchanger immersed storage tank. The using CFD code ANSYS Fluent. In simulation, treated as an internal source initial flux obtained from experimental results delivered each element boundary condition...

The cysteines involved in joining the 2 half-molecules of fibrinogen and also those located on either side of the alpha-helical coiled-coil region, were substituted, by site-directed mutagenesis, with serine. Fibrinogen assembly and secretion were determined in transiently transfected COS cells. Our studies indicate that in order to assemble the 2 half-molecules into a dimer, it is not sufficie...
