Prediction of Hypersonic Boundary Layer Transition on Ablative Rough Surfaces of Deep Space Reentry Capsules

In order to improve aerodynamic deceleration efficiency, deep space reentry capsules generally adopt large blunt windward shape and ablative heat protection system. However, factors such as the flat forebody shape and the sharp increase in ...

Effects of long-term exposure to air pollutant mixture on blood pressure in typical areas of North China

Background: Studies about the combined effects of gaseous air pollutants and particulate matters are still rare. Objectives: This study was performed based on baseline survey of the Diverse Life-Course Cohort in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei (B...

The Balanced Opioid Initiative: protocol for a clustered, sequential, multiple-assignment randomized trial to construct an adaptive implementation strategy to improve guideline-concordant opioid prescribing in primary care

Abstract Background Rates of opioid prescribing tripled in the USA between 1999 and 2015 and were associated with significant increases in opioid misuse and overdose death. Roughly half of all opioids are prescribed in primary care. Althoug...

The Mode of Constructing Safe Trajectories of Motion of the Unmanned Aerial Vehicle while Monitoring Power Lines Considering the Influence of their Electromagnetic Fields

The aim of this paper is to increase the flight safety of an unmanned aerial vehicle that monitors power lines under the negative influence of electromagnetic fields on the on-board equipment. This problem was solved with algorithms for pho...

A design method for booster motor of brake-by-wire system based on intelligent electric vehicle

ABSTRACT: The brake-by-wire (BBW) system is an essential part of the intelligent electric vehicle, which is determination of the braking safety and recovery efficiency. To design a safe and efficient booster motor, the design of booster mot...

Extracellular vesicles derived from mesenchymal stromal cells mitigate intestinal toxicity in a mouse model of acute radiation syndrome

Abstract Background Human exposure to high doses of radiation resulting in acute radiation syndrome and death can rapidly escalate to a mass casualty catastrophe in the event of nuclear accidents or terrorism. The primary reason is that the...

Protocol to induce de novo lipid droplets in Saccharomyces cerevisiae

Summary: The mechanisms underlying lipid droplet (LD) biogenesis in the endoplasmic reticulum are not completely understood. Here, we present a protocol for inducing de novo LDs containing either triacylglycerol (TAG) or sterol esters (SE) ...

Nanotechnology

Human dreams and imagination often give rise to new science and technology. Nanotechnology, a 21st-century frontier, was born out of such dreams. Nanotechnology is defined as the understanding and control of matter at dimensions between 1 a...

Aurelia: Dynamic asynchronous BFT with bandwidth-efficient bootstrapping

Dynamic asynchronous Byzantine Fault-Tolerant (BFT) protocols provide strong consistency guarantees in open networks with unbounded communication delays and evolving membership, making them a fundamental building block for long-lived distri...

Distributed System Design

Future requirements for computing speed, system reliability, and cost-effectiveness entail the development of alternative computers to replace the traditional von Neumann organization. As computing networks come into being, one of the lates...
