Thermal performance analysis of a parabolic trough collector based solar water heater using revolving absorber tube by Rasaiah Naveenkumar, Pradeep Kumar Singh, Manickam Ravichandran, Vinayagam Mohanavel, Rajaraman Venkateshkumar, Ankit Kedia, Sathish Kannan, Manzoore Elahi M. Soudagar

“…Parabolic trough is designed in such a way, which tends to tilt at variant angles like 10°, 20°, 30° respectively towards North and South directions. Rotation is only about 180°, because at initial stage the absorber tube started its absorption from direct solar radiation and reflected solar radiations, though the rate of flow is very low, and the heat transfer fluid only flows at the lowermost surface of the absorber tube. …”

Neurofilament Light Chain Levels in Serum and Cerebrospinal Fluid Do Not Correlate with Survival Times in Patients with Prion Disease by Mika Shimamura, Kong Weijie, Toshiaki Nonaka, Koki Kosami, Ryusuke Ae, Koji Fujita, Taiki Matsubayashi, Tadashi Tsukamoto, Nobuo Sanjo, Katsuya Satoh

“…In this study, we employed a fully automated multiplex ELISA (Ella^®) to measure the concentrations of 14-3-3 protein, total tau protein, and neurofilament light chain (NF-L) in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and serum samples from patients with prion disease and analyzed their link to disease prognosis. However, in North American and European cases, we did not confirm a correlation between NF-L levels and survival time. …”
