Analysis of Ventilation Efficiency and Effective Ventilation Flow Rate for Wind-driven Single-sided Ventilation Buildings by Junli Zhou, Yong Hua, Yuan Xiao, Cheng Ye, Wei Yang

“…Effects of various influencing parameters, such as wind speed, opening location, opening area and aspect ratio of windward wall on ventilation efficiency were evaluated. An estimated mixing coefficient has been established by the modelling, which would be beneficial for the predication of the short-circuit ratio of ventilation rate through openings.…”

Preamplification Procedure for the Analysis of Ancient DNA Samples by Stefania Del Gaudio, Alessandra Cirillo, Giovanni Di Bernardo, Umberto Galderisi, Theodoros Thanassoulas, Theodoros Pitsios, Marilena Cipollaro

“…Real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) was used to detect in the extracts the presence of PCR inhibitors and to estimate the DNA content. As mitochondrial DNA was detected in all samples, amplification of nuclear targets, as amelogenin and the polymorphism M470V of the transmembrane conductance regulator gene, yielded positive results in one case only. …”

SU(N) magnetism with ultracold molecules by Bijit Mukherjee, Jeremy M Hutson, Kaden R A Hazzard

“…In this paper, we predict that ultracold molecules shielded from destructive collisions with static electric fields or microwaves exhibit SU( N ) symmetry, which holds because deviations of the s-wave scattering length from the spin-free values are only about 3% for CaF with static-field shielding and are estimated to be even smaller for bialkali molecules. …”
