IMPROVING THE PERFORMANCE OF A TWO-PHASE EJECTOR USING GENETIC ALGORITHM BASED ON SECONDARY FLUID ENTRAINMENT RATE

Improving the performance of a two-phase ejector using genetic algorithm based on secondary fluid entrainment rate

Ejectors offer a cost-effective and practical solution for recovering flare gases, thereby reducing greenhouse gases.Improving the entrainment rate of the secondary fluid can enhance ejector performance.The objective of this research is to identify the optimal ejector geometry to maximize the absorption rate of the secondary fluid.Computational flu

Age-related changes in somatic condition and reproduction in the Eurasian beaver: Resource history influences onset of reproductive senescence.

Using 15 years of data from a stable population of wild Eurasian beavers (Castor fiber), we examine how annual and lifetime access to food resources affect individual age-related changes in reproduction and somatic condition.We found an age-related decline in annual maternal reproductive output, after a peak at age 5-6.Rainfall, an established nega

An unusual specimen of the enigmatic fungal reproductive unit Windipila spinifera from the Lower Devonian Rhynie cherts of Scotland

Windipila spinifera from the Rhynie cherts is a spheroidal microfossil enveloped in a hyphal mantle from which extend prominent spines and otherwise shaped projections.It is believed to be a reproductive unit of a fungus in the Glomeromycota or zygomycetes, but features to determine the systematic affinities have not hitherto been documented.This s

Guidelines for reporting on animal fecal transplantation (GRAFT) studies: recommendations from a systematic review of murine transplantation protocols

Fecal microbiota transplant (FMT) is a powerful tool used to connect changes in gut microbial composition with a variety of disease Hospital Bedrails states and pathologies.While FMT enables potential causal relationships to be identified, the experimental details reported in preclinical FMT protocols are highly inconsistent and/or incomplete.This
