Simulation of Turbulent Wake at Mixing of Two Confined Horizontal Flows by Rok Krpan, Boštjan Končar

“…The mixing of such flows can be modelled as the flow of two components, where the concentration of one component in the mixing region is described as a passive scalar. The velocity field remains common over the entire computational domain, where the density and viscosity difference due to the concentration mainly affects the turbulent fluctuations in the mixing region. …”

The transport of polyphenols from Camellia fascicularis in Caco-2 cells based on UPLC-ESI-MS/MS by Shengjiang Duan, Hao Zheng, Junrong Tang, Huan Kan, Changwei Cao, Zhijiao Shi, Yun Liu

“…Among them, 40 polyphenol compounds were upregulated including eupatorin, 5,7,4′-trihydroxy-3,6,3′,5′-tetramethoxyflavone, and jaceosidin-7-O-glucoside, which might exhibit active transport, whereas the remaining 13 were downregulated and might exhibit passive diffusive transport. This study offers a rationale that further explored the bioactive mechanisms of CFPs.…”

Reorganization of the Action Observation Network and Sensory-Motor System in Children with Unilateral Cerebral Palsy: An fMRI Study by Giuseppina Sgandurra, Laura Biagi, Leonardo Fogassi, Elisa Sicola, Adriano Ferrari, Andrea Guzzetta, Michela Tosetti, Giovanni Cioni

“…Moreover, UCP and TD children carried out a further fMRI session to explore SMN in both an active motor and passive sensory task. AON in the UCP group showed higher lateralization, negatively related to performances on clinical scales, and had greater activation of unaffected hemisphere as compared to the bilateral representation in the TD group. …”

Effect of Free‐Stream Turbulence on the Power Performance and Wake Characteristics of Paired Counter‐Rotating Vertical‐Axis Wind Turbines by Ayoub Talamalek, Mark C. Runacres, Tim De Troyer

“…The experiments were conducted under two different turbulence intensities, 0.39% and 6.7%, with the latter being achieved by placing a passive wooden grid in the wind tunnel. The mechanical power output of the turbines was measured through torque and angular speed sensors, and the wake up to six rotor diameters downstream of paired VAWTs was characterised using constant temperature anemometry. …”
