Effect of Reynolds Number and Property Variation on Fluid Flow and Heat Transfer in the Entrance Region of a Turbine Blade Internal-Cooling Channel by Ben-Mansour R., Al-Hadhrami L.

“…The effect of temperature-dependent property variation showed a small change in the heat transfer rates when all properties were allowed to vary with temperature. However, individual effects can be significant such as the effect of density variation, which resulted in as much as <math alttext="$9.6$"> <mn>9.6</mn> </math>&#37; reduction in the heat transfer rate.…”

Medical leadership, a systematic narrative review: do hospitals and healthcare organisations perform better when led by doctors? by Jeffrey Braithwaite, Kristiana Ludlow, Robyn Clay-Williams, Luke Testa, Zhicheng Li

“…Five inter-related themes emerged from a narrative analysis: the impact of medical leadership on outcomes; doctors on boards; contribution of qualifications and experience; the medical leader as an individual or part of a team and doctors transitioning into the medical leadership role.Discussion and conclusion A modest body of evidence supports the importance of including doctors on organisational governing boards. …”

Barlow Twins deep neural network for advanced 1D drug–target interaction prediction by Maximilian G. Schuh, Davide Boldini, Annkathrin I. Bohne, Stephan A. Sieber

“…We also propose the use of an influence method to investigate how the model reaches its decision based on individual training samples. By comparing co-crystal structures, we find that BarlowDTI effectively exploits catalytically active and stabilising residues, highlighting the model’s ability to generalise from one-dimensional input data. …”

The neuroendocrine stress-response in insects: the history of the development of the concept by M. A. Eremina, N. E. Gruntenko

“…In this century, the main efforts of researchers are aimed at studying the mechanisms of stress reaction in imago and genetic control of its individual links. The study of stress reaction in insects has both theoretical importance, as it demonstrates the convergence of evolutionary pathways of adaptive transformations in such distant taxa as insects and mammals, and practical importance, since the patterns of this reaction’s mechanisms can be used in modeling hereditary or acquired human diseases, in developing breeding methods for economically valuable insects and in finding ways to fight insect pests…”
