Nuclear domains called ND10 or PML bodies might function as nuclear depots by recruiting or releasing certain proteins. Although recruitment of proteins through interferon-induced upregulation and SUMO-1 modification level of PML had been defined, it is not known whether release of proteins is regulated and has physiological consequences. Exposure to sublethal environmental stress revealed a se...

Observed thermal emission from accreting neutron stars (NSs) in a quiescent state is believed to be powered by nonequilibrium nuclear reactions that heat the stellar crust (deep crustal heating paradigm). We derive simple universal formula for efficiency, assuming an NS has fully accreted crust. further show that, within recently proposed thermodynamically consistent approach crust, release can...

The relationship between heat release rate and other fire reaction properties of fibre reinforced polymer composite materials is investigated. The heat release rate and fire reaction properties of thermoset matrix composites reinforced with combustible fibres (aramid, extended-chain polyethylene) or non-combustible fibres (glass, carbon) were determined over a range of heat flux levels using th...

the dual fuel engines at part loads inevitably suffer from lower thermal efficiency and higher carbon monoxide and unburned fuel emission. this work is carried out to investigate combustion characteristics of a dual fuel (dieselgas) engine at part loads, using a single zone combustion model with detailed chemical kinetics for combustion of natural gas fuel. the authors developed software in whi...

High-resolution measurements of ocean temperature and salinity in the Arctic Ocean’s Canada Basin reveal the importance of the release of solar-derived stored ocean heat on sea ice growth. Locally absorbed summer solar heat is stored in a near-surface temperature maximum (NSTM) layer underlying the mixed layer. The heat content of the NSTM layer was anomalously large following summer 2007, whic...

Considering the importance of determining potential hazards and factors that can cause anunexpected fire and due to the important role of nanotechnology to achieve more effectiveproperties, this paper presents our experiments on preparing nanocomposites based onPoly(ethylene terephthalate)(PET) and montmorillonite (MMT) as organoclay via meltblending with different clay loadings to investigate ...

Unsteady simulations of stagnation point flames are conducted in order to study flame turbulence interactions in a relatively simple flow environment. Flame propagation is represented using a flamelet model called the G equation. Two subgrid models are used to close the filtered G equation. The effects of significant heat release on the turbulent flow and the effect of varying turbulence intens...
