Multiple freshwater invasions of the tapertail anchovy (Clupeiformes
Freshwater fish evolved from anadromous ancestors can be found in almost all continents. The roles of paleogeographic events and nature selection in speciation process often are under focus of research. We studied genetic...
Investigations on the second-order transient gap resonance induced by focused wave groups

Two or more marine structures deployed side by side may encounter strong water-body resonances within narrow gaps between them. It may cause significant wave loads on structures and the green water phenomenon on the deck. In...

Solar Panel Technologies for Light-to-Chemical Conversion
Conspectus: The sustainable synthesis of fuels and chemicals is key to attaining a carbon-neutral economy. This can be achieved by mimicking the light-harvesting and catalytic processes occurring in plants. Solar fuel production...
Non-alcoholic fatty liver is associated with increased risk of irritable bowel syndrome
BACKGROUND: The relationship between non-alcoholic fatty liver degree as well as non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) remains poorly understood. We aimed to investigate the prospective...
Effects of free heave motion on wave resonance inside a narrow gap between two boxes under wave actions
Fluid resonance inside a narrow gap between two side-by-side boxes is investigated based on an open-source CFD package, OpenFOAM. An upstream box heaves freely under wave actions and a downstream box remains fixed. The focus of...

BACKGROUND: The relationship between non-alcoholic fatty liver degree as well as non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) remains poorly understood. We aimed to investigate the prospective...
Demographic noise slows down cycles of dominance

We study the phenomenon of cyclic dominance in the paradigmatic Rock–Paper–Scissors model, as occurring in both stochastic individual-based models of finite populations and in the deterministic replicator equations. The...

Optimal operation of combined heat and power system based on forecasted energy prices in real-time markets

This paper develops a discrete operation optimization model for combined heat and powers (CHPs) in deregulated energy markets to maximize owners' profits, where energy price forecasting is included. First, a single input and...

A three-dimensional hybrid electrode with electroactive microbes for efficient electrogenesis and chemical synthesis.
Integration of electroactive bacteria into electrodes combines strengths of intracellular biochemistry with electrochemistry for energy conversion and chemical synthesis. However, such biohybrid systems are often plagued with...

The ABC transporter DerAB of <i>Lactobacillus casei</i> mediates resistance against insect-derived defensins
Bce-like systems mediate resistance against antimicrobial peptides in Firmicutes bacteria. Lactobacillus casei BL23 encodes an 'orphan' ABC transporter that, based on homology to BceAB-like systems, was proposed to contribute to...
Harmonic Analyses of Hydrodynamic Characteristics for Gap Resonance Between Fixed Box and Vertical Wall

Two marine structures arranged side by side with a narrow gap may suffer from violent free-surface resonance, which would cause green water on deck, dramatically raise hydrodynamic loads on structures and seriously threaten...

Investigation on the effects of Bragg reflection on harbor oscillations

Periodic undulating topographies (such as sandwaves and sandbars) are very common in coastal and estuarine areas. Normally incident water surface waves propagating from open sea to coastal areas may interact strongly with...

Study on Influences of Fringing Reef on Harbor Oscillations Triggered by N-Waves

Influences of topographic variations of the offshore fringing reef on the harbor oscillations excited by incident N-waves with different amplitudes and waveform types are studied for the first time. Both the propagation of...
