Comparison of Saddle-Shaped Region of Head-Flow Curve between Axial-Flow Pump and Its Corresponding Axial-Flow Pump Device by Dongtao Ji, Weigang Lu, Linguang Lu, Lei Xu, Jun Liu, Wei Shi, Ye Zhu

“…The results show that when the flow rate decreases, the first saddle-shaped region of the axial-flow pump and the saddle-shaped region of the pump device are caused by the decrease of the lift coefficient due to the increase of the attack angle between flow and blade. When the flow rate is less than 0.32Qd, the influence range of backflow in the inlet pipe is large, which leads to the high-pressure zone near the wall of the inlet pressure measurement section during the pump performance test, and hence the second saddle-shaped region of the axial-flow pump is essentially a measurement illusion. …”

Secure and energy-efficient inter- and intra-cluster optimization scheme for smart cities using UAV-assisted wireless sensor networks by Niayesh Gharaei, Aliaa M. Alabdali

“…Security issues, such as insufficient data encryption, further exacerbate these challenges, leaving WSNs vulnerable to attacks. To address these gaps, we propose the secure and energy-efficient inter- and intra-cluster optimization scheme (SEI2), a novel WMET-based framework that ensures balanced energy utilization among cluster heads (CHs) and member nodes (MNs) while securing data transmission. …”

Excretory/secretory-products of Echinococcus multilocularis larvae induce apoptosis and tolerogenic properties in dendritic cells in vitro. by Justin Komguep Nono, Katrien Pletinckx, Manfred B Lutz, Klaus Brehm

“…Our data indicate that the early infective stage of E. multilocularis is a strong inducer of tolerance in DC, which is most probably important for generating an immunosuppressive environment at an infection phase in which the parasite is highly vulnerable to host attacks. The induction of CD4+CD25+Foxp3+ T cells through metacestode E/S-products suggests that these cells fulfill an important role for parasite persistence during chronic echinococcosis.…”

The defense function of the state: Traditional and modern understanding by Vračar Milinko S., Barišić Igor I.

“…While the object of the state's defense remains the same, its survival and vital values, the changes in the essence of its defense function emerge from the dialectical relationship between defense and attack. Therefore, the modern defense function of the state can be understood as a protective function by which the state, through the use of military and non-military instruments of national power in both peace and war, protects its survival and vital values from various military and non-military threats.…”
