Study of Stage Gap for a 2-bladed 2-stage Savonius-like-hydro-kinetic Turbine Performance Involving End Plates and Overlapping by K. C. Sarma, B. Nath, A. Biswas, R. D. Misra

“…The results demonstrate that SLHT produces more power and torque under a low-stage gap as the brake load rises, reaching the highest hydrodynamic torque (0.056 Nm) during a maximum load of 1250 g. The minimal stage gap is 5 mm, turbine braking loading 1250 g, 0.248 TSR, and 0.55 m/s water velocity yield the highest power coefficient (0.058), which is greater than some published SLHT designs. …”

A vibration damping optimization algorithm to solve flexible job shop scheduling problems with reverse flows by Esmaeil Mehdizadeh, Fatemeh Soleimaninia

“…In this paper, the FJSP with reverse flow consisting of two flows of jobs (direct and reverse) at each stage is studied; the first flow initiates in Stage 1 and goes to Stage C (the last stage), and the second flow starts with Stage c and ends up in Stage 1. The aim is to minimize the makespan of the jobs (the maximum completion time). …”

Suppressing the Endogenous Negative Influence Through Node Intervention in Social Networks by Satoshi Furutani, Tatsuhiro Aoshima, Toshiki Shibahara, Mitsuaki Akiyama, Masaki Aida

“…We prove that this problem is NP-hard and propose approximation algorithms to identify optimal intervention nodes that minimize the negative influence. Through numerical experiments, we demonstrate that our algorithms effectively suppress the negative influence regardless of the type of social network or experimental setting.…”

Studyng the effects of Cantharellus cibarius fungi on Opisthorchis felineus trematode and on parasite host - C57BL/6 inbred mice by M. A. Tsyganov, G. B. Vishnevetskaya, T. P. Kukina, I. V. Sorokina, M. N. Lvova, M. A. Protsenko, N. E. Kostina, D. F. Avgustinovich

“…The disease has a large number of complications and relatively few effective treatments, so nowadays it is relevant to look for new drugs for the treatment of opisthorchiasis, with the maximum antiparasitic and minimal side effect. In this work, a potentially anthelmintic effect of the methanol extract of the golden chanterelle mushroom (Cantharellus cibarius) was investigated. …”

Prolactin Is a Strong Candidate for the Regulation of Luteal Steroidogenesis in Vizcachas (Lagostomus maximus) by S. Proietto, S. A. Cortasa, M. C. Corso, P. I. F. Inserra, S. E. Charif, A. R. Schmidt, N. P. Di Giorgio, V. Lux-Lantos, A. D. Vitullo, V. B. Dorfman, J. Halperin

“…Instead, the luteolytic enzyme 20α-HSD showed low expression at early and midpregnancy, but reached its maximum at the end of gestation, when PRLR/LHR/3ß-HSD expressions and circulating P4 were minimal. In conclusion, both the PRLR and LHR expressions in the ovary would define the success of gestation in vizcachas by modulating the levels of 20α-HSD and 3ß-HSD, which ultimately determine the level of serum P4 throughout gestation.…”
