Taylor series expansions of turbulent time correlation functions are applied to show that helicity influences Eulerian time correlations more strongly than Lagrangian time correlations: to second order in time, the hclicity effect on Lagrangian time correlations vanishes, but the helicity cffect on Eulerian time correlations is nonzero. Fourier analysis shows that the hclicity effect on Euleria...

This paper estimates international spillover e§ects of US Quantitative Easing (QE) on emerging market economies. Using a Bayesian VAR on monthly US macroeconomic and financial data, we first identify the US QE shock with non-recursive identifying restrictions. This identified shock is then used in another Bayesian panel VAR for emerging market economies to infer the international spillover e§ec...

  　 Objective(s): Ex vivo expansion of hematopoitic stem cells is an alternative way to increase umbilical cord blood (UCB)-CD34+ cells for bone marrow transplantation. For this purpose demineralized bone matrix (DBM) and mineralized bone allograft (MBA) as two scaffolds based on bone matrix and stem cell niche, were simultaneously used to enhance the effect of human mesenchymal pro...

Background: Umbilical cord blood hematopoietic stem cells (UCB-HSCs) are an attractive source for transplantation. The generation of megakaryocyte-committed cells could lead to shorten period of thrombocytopenia after HSCs transplantation. Platelet lysate (PL) unlike fetal bovine serum (FBS) can prevent immune problems as well as avert transmission of certain diseases to the recipient. In this ...

formation of hydraulic jump is necessary for dissipation of the excess kinetic energy downstream of spillways and gates. hydraulic jump stilling basins of sudden expansion are one of the energy dissipater structures which are used where the available tail water depth is less than the required sequent depths. in the present study to further reduce the hydraulic jump sequent depths ratio, a rough...

Avoidance of predators or impending collisions is important for survival. Approaching objects can be mimicked by expanding flow-fields. Tethered flying fruit flies, when confronted with an expansion flow-field, reliably turn away from the pole of expansion when presented laterally, or perform a landing response when presented frontally. Here, we show that the response to an expansion flow-field...
