“…Furthermore, the study identified the desirable accessions for desired storage root characteristics such as root constrictions, the external color of the storage root, the color of root pulp, the color of the root cortex, and cortex peeling tendency. In conclusion, the various analyses performed indicated the existence of sufficient genetic variability for the characteristics evaluated, which could be attributed to the dissimilar genetic backgrounds of the evaluated accessions. …”

Brain Activation and Psychomotor Speed in Middle-Aged Patients with Type 1 Diabetes: Relationships with Hyperglycemia and Brain Small Vessel Disease by Misun Hwang, Dana L. Tudorascu, Karen Nunley, Helmet Karim, Howard J. Aizenstein, Trevor J. Orchard, Caterina Rosano

“…Exposure to hyperglycemia, measured as glycosylated hemoglobin A1c, was associated with longer response time and with higher activation in the inferior frontal gyrus and primary sensorimotor and dorsal cingulate cortex. Higher activation in inferior frontal gyrus, primary sensorimotor cortex, thalamus, and cuneus was related to longer response times; in contrast, higher activation in the superior parietal lobe was associated with shorter response times. …”

Analysis of Pressure Pulsation Induced by Rotor-Stator Interaction in Nuclear Reactor Coolant Pump by Xu Zhang, Pengfei Wang, Xiaodong Ruan, Zhongbin Xu, Xin Fu

“…The study finds that, at nominal flow, the flow rate distribution in guide vanes is relatively uniform and the pressure pulsation amplitude is the smallest. Besides, the vortex shedding or backflow from the impeller blade exit has the same frequency as pressure pulsation but there are phase differences, and it has been confirmed that the absolute value of phase differences reflects the vorticity intensity.…”

Computational assessment of winglet-induced variations in pressure coefficients on NACA 4418 aircraft wings by Md. Abdullah, Mohammad Zoynal Abedin

“…The results indicate a significant modification in the pressure coefficient distribution due to the winglet, particularly at the wing tips with NACA 4418 using the angles of attack (AoA) at 4°, 0°, 4°, 8°, 12°, 16°, 20° and 24° for velocity of 30 m/s, where the reduction in vortex strength leads to decreased induced drag. The results reveal that the pressure coefficient becomes high at 20%C, then decreases to a minimum value at 45%C and then rises gradually up to again a higher value at 80%C for the angles of attack of − 4° and 0° at three airfoil velocity. …”
