The recent ACE-2, EPIC and DYCOMS-II field experiments showed that the drizzle precipitation rate of marine stratocumulus scales with the cloud geometrical thickness or liquid water path, and the droplet concentration, Prep Pads when averaged over a domain typical of a GCM grid.This feature is replicated here with large-eddy-simulations using state
Sodium taurocholate cotransporting polypeptide (NTCP) acts as a cellular receptor for the hepatitis B virus infection of host hepatocytes.Previously, many studies confirmed that the NTCP p.Ser267Phe variant was a protective factor against HBV-related disease progression.We therefore designed this study to investigate whether the NTCP p.Ser267Phe va
The present work analyzes the use of hybrid joints for the construction of yachts with the purpose of reducing the structural weight.By means of the elaboration of specimens made of tubular steel and fiberglass (GFRP).This is to significantly reduce the weight of the 5-HTP superstructure, allowing the yacht to be lighter.At the same time this reduc
Good knowledge of cross section neutron induced reactions on Zr becomes of importance due to the use of zirconium as structural material in reactors, its applicability in neutron dosimetry and the theoretical model testing.Thin Zr foils (0.05 mm thickness, 99.2% purity) were irradiated in the quasi-monoenergetic p-Li neutron fields, the proton beam
This paper presents a geometric approach for modelling tree roots with different Levels of Detail, suitable for analysis of the tree anchoring, potentially occupied underground space, interaction with urban elements and damage produced and taken in the built-in environment.Three types of tree roots are considered to cover several species: tap root,
