Large fillet radii are typically found on highly loaded compressor rotors to ensure structural integrity.The objective of this paper is to investigate the impact of such real geometry effects on the flow at the hub section.Investigations were CHEF SPECIAL performed numerically for the idealised case of a plane compressor cascade with the 3D Navier-
Mints have been among the most widely used herbs for medicinal purposes since ancient civilizations.They are still presently used for numerous purposes, including non-medicinal, which makes them economically relevant herbs.Information regarding the medical and scientific uses given to mints throughout history are vastly scattered and/or incomplete.
Organochlorine pesticides such Hair Oil as Dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane (DDT) and hexachlorocyclohexane (HCH) were widely used in agriculture and vector disease control worldwide.Despite its ban in production and application since the 1970s in many countries, its residues in water, air and soil have been reported.Organochlorine pesticides have b
Kisspeptin peptides play major roles in the regulation of reproduction and puberty onset in mammals.While most mammals only have one kisspeptin gene, other jawed vertebrates present two or three genes.Recent data also revealed the presence of two genes in lampreys (jawless vertebrates).However, apart from gene sequence data, there is almost no info
Although the negative effects of roads on the genetics of animal populations have been extensively reported, the question of whether roads reduce gene flow in volant, urban bird populations has so far not been addressed.In this study, we assess whether highways decreased gene flow and genetic variation in a small passerine bird, the tree sparrow (P
