Investigation of the Characteristics of an Axisymmetric Jet Subjected to Azimuthal Forcing
(2013-05-15)
Characteristics of an axisymmetric jet subjected to azimuthal forcing were investigated. A circular variable diameter iris was positioned near the nozzle exit to impart azimuthal excitation to the jet at desired Strouhal ...
An Investigation of the Coevolutionary Relationship Between Aprostocetus hagenowii (Ratzburg) (Hymenoptera: Eulophidae) and its Cockroach (Blattodea) Hosts
(2023-08-02)
Oothecal parasitoid wasps (Hymenoptera) parasitize the egg cases (oothecae) of cockroaches (Blattodea). Oothecal parasitoids must have developed numerous adaptations to locate, parasitize, and develop within their hosts, ...
Investigation of the Effect of Radiation on the Thermophoretic Motion of Soot Particles in Free-Molecular Regime
(2005-08-15)
The coupling of radiation and thermophoresis is hypothesized to result in attractive forces among soot particles in combustion environments. The effect of radiation from the soot particles on their thermophoretic motion ...

Investigation of the Global Escarpment, Including the Fretted Terrain, in the Martian Northern Hemisphere
(2010-07-30)
The global escarpment and associated fretted terrain are located in the Martian northern hemisphere. Two competing hypothesis presently in play explain the origin of Mars’ global escarpment. These hypotheses involve endogenic ...
Investigation of the Impact of Copper Homeostasis on Cellular Physiology
(2024-05-01)
The copper pool within the mitochondrial matrix is required for assembly and activity of cytochrome c oxidase and a portion of copper/zinc superoxide dismutase. The mitochondrial copper exists bound to an anionic, fluorescent ...
