In this paper, we present a fully coupled computational fluid dynamic (CFD) and discrete module beam (DMB) method for the numerical prediction of nonlinear hydroelastic responses ship advancing in regular focused wave conditions. A two-way data communication scheme is applied between two solvers, whereby external pressure exported from CFD simulation used to derive structural DMB solver, deform...

[[Cu(fum)(dmb)]·H2O]n (1) (fum = fumarate; dmb = 5,5’-dimethyl-2,2’-bipyridine) was obtained by a self-assembly solution reaction, at ambient conditions, and characterized elemental analysis, IR spectroscopy X-ray single crystal diffraction. Crystallographic studies show that 1 crystallizes in triclinic system with P-1 space group, a = 8.2308(2) A, b = 9.7563(2) c = 10.3990(2) A; α = 80.3444(4)...

Vascular endothelial dysfunction, a characteristic of the aging process, is an important risk factor for cardiovascular disease in aging. Although, vascular inflammation and oxidative stress are major contributors to endothelial dysfunction in aging, the underlying mechanisms during the aging process are not fully understood. Accumulating evidence reveals that gut microbiota-dependent metabolit...

DMB (Dimethylbarbituric) and DETB (Diethylthiobarbituric) are both barbituric thiobarbituric acid derivatives respectively, that forms enamines with the Nα amine of amino acids. These compounds were found to be stable crystalline solids show stability in standard acidic basic conditions used for solid-phase peptide synthesis (SPPS) strategies. protecting groups cleaved by a mild solution 2 % hy...

A reduction in mechanical loading of the mandible brought about by mastication of soft food is assumed to decrease the remodelling rate of bone, which, in turn, might increase the degree of bone mineralization. The effect of a reduction in masticatory functional load on the degree and distribution of mineralization of mandibular bone was investigated in male juvenile New Zealand White rabbits. ...

Excessive consumption of diets high in sugars and saturated fat, frequently known as western diet (WD), may lead to obesity and metabolic syndrome. Recent evidence shows that WD-induced obesity impairs cardiac function, but the underlying mechanisms are not fully understood. Trimethylamine N-oxide (TMAO), a gut microbiota-dependent metabolite of specific dietary nutrients, has emerged as a key ...

The fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe switches mating type by transposition of a copy of DNA derived from either of the two storage cassettes, mat2 -P and mat3 -M, into the expression locus, mat1 . The recombinational event of switching is initiated by a double-stranded DNA break present in approximately 20% of the molecules at mat1 . Fifty-three mutants defective in switching of mating t...
