Spray Evaporation on Enhanced-Surface Tube Bundles with Low-GWP Refrigerants
(2023-05-04)
With the development of new low-GWP HFO refrigerants and increasingly stringent regulation of existing HVAC&R systems, the heat transfer performance of these refrigerants and the effects of various enhancement techniques ...
Spray-dried Cellulose Nanocrystal Reinforced Polypropylene Composites
(2023-12-06)
Cellulose nanocrystal (CNC), a nano-scale structure with unique properties such as high crystallinity, Young’s modulus, and strength, is dominantly extracted from lignocellulosic materials and primarily dispersed in aqueous ...
Sprayable formulations of dsRNA as a tool for management of Popillia japonica (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae)
(2023-11-27)
RNA interference (RNAi) mediated by environmental dsRNA presents a promising, target-specific approach to providing plant-protection against damage from invasive and outbreak insect pests. However, this approach has not ...
Spreading like wildfire: The impact of communication channel on emotional contagion
(2014-07-02)
Affect is a burgeoning area of study in organizational research. However, very few studies to date have examined the impact of communication channel on message interpretation. Research merging these two areas is even more ...
SQSTM1/p62 Expression Effects on Mitochondria and Protection from Neurodegeneration: A Proposed Role from Mitochondrial Dynamics to Learning and Memory
(2013-09-12)
Sequestosome 1(SQSTM1/p62) is a multi-domain scaffolding protein involved in
multiple cellular processes ranging from endocytosis to protein degradation that employ
both the ubiquitin proteasome system and autophagy. In ...
Stability Analysis of a Segmented Free-wing Concept for UAS Gust Alleviation in Adverse Environments
(2009-08-03)
High altitude, long endurance (HALE) aircraft feature large wing spans and
have very low wing loadings resulting in sensitivity to turbulence. While turbulence
is usually quite low in the stratosphere where HALE aircraft ...
Stability and Performance of Emerging Wireless Networks
(2016-07-20)
