Manipulating Heat Release Features to Minimize Combustion Noise

Changes in combustion noise, eciency, and emissions are investigated as responses to boundary conditions and injection scheduling parameters of closely-coupled multiple-pilot strategies. The eects of pilot injection separation times, mixture dilution, and injection pressure are investigated. In order to minimize combustion noise, the heat release rate (HRR) should be as linear in its buildup as po

Somatic hypermutation in the absence of DNA-dependent protein kinase catalytic subunit (DNA-PK(cs)) or recombination-activating gene (RAG)1 activity

Somatic hypermutation and isotype switch recombination occur in germinal center B cells, are linked to transcription, and are similarly affected by deficiency in MutS homologue (MSH)2. Class-switch recombination is abrogated by disruption of genes encoding components of the catalytic subunit of DNA-dependent protein kinase (DNA-PK(cs))/Ku complex and likely involves nonhomologous end joining (NHEJ

Fluorescence excitation enhancement by waveguiding nanowires

The optical properties of vertical semiconductor nanowires can allow an enhancement of fluorescence from surface-bound fluorophores, a feature proven useful in biosensing. One of the contributing factors to the fluorescence enhancement is thought to be the local increase of the incident excitation light intensity in the vicinity of the nanowire surface, where fluorophores are located. However, thi

The Emerging Role of Topical Ocular Drugs to Target the Posterior Eye

The prevalence of chronic fundus diseases is increasing with the aging of the general population. The treatment of these intraocular diseases relies on invasive drug delivery because of the globular structure and multiple barriers of the eye. Frequent intraocular injections bring heavy burdens to the medical care system and patients. The use of topical drugs to treat retinal diseases has always be

Acid-triggering of light-induced charge-separation in hybrid organic/inorganic molecular photoactive dyads for harnessing solar energy

H+ modulated charge-transfer in photoexcited covalent polyoxometalate-bodipy conjugates is described. The hybrid organic/inorganic molecular photoactive dyads are based on Keggin-type polyoxometalates (POMs, where KM = [PM11O39] and M = Mo or W) covalently grafted via an organotin linker to a bodipy (BOD) photosensitizer. The relative potentials of the photosensitizer and POM are aligned such that

Numerical analysis of infraspecific variation in European Silene alba and S. dioica (Caryophyllaceae)

Infraspecific variation among European populations of Silene alba and S. dioica was analysed by non‐metric multidimensional scaling, which was applied to K‐dissimilarity matrices based either on 16 seed characters or on 34 seed, flower and capsule characters. The material used for analysis consisted of 167 collections of wild seed, largely obtained from European botanic gardens, and 97 sets of mat
