Leaked air from an aircraft cabin into its envelope walls through cracks can lead to a large amount of moisture condensation on inner shell skins and in insulation layers.The leaked-air rate is subject Bikini to the stack pressure difference and the geometry of the cracks.So far, the impacts of the crack sizes and positions, and the flight conditio
Sphingolipids are abundant membrane components and important signaling molecules in eukaryotic Shorts cells.Their levels and localization are tightly regulated.However, the mechanisms underlying this regulation remain largely unknown.In this study, we identify the Golgi-associated retrograde protein (GARP) complex, which functions in endosome-to-Go
The carrying capacity of the environment for a population is one of the key concepts in ecology and it is incorporated in the growth term of reaction-diffusion equations describing populations in space.Analysis of reaction-diffusion models of populations in heterogeneous space have shown that, when the maximum growth rate and carrying capacity in a
Power electronic devices are integral to numerous applications in Shorts modern technology.The non-linear degradation and subsequent abrupt failure of these devices demand regular State of Health (SoH) checkups as well as accurate prediction of their Remaining Useful Life (RUL).SoH and RUL enable efficient maintenance planning, cost-effective resou
Greater availability and utilization of modern radiological imaging modalities have resulted in an increase in the incidental discovery of renal cell carcinoma.Such tumours tend to be smaller than their symptomatic counterparts and may potentially be adequately treated using nephron-sparing surgery.Methods: A retrospective review of all patients wh
