FUNDAMENTALS AND APPLICATIONS OF STEPPED PRESSURE CYCLE

Fundamentals and Applications of Stepped Pressure Cycle

A stepped pressure cycle is proposed to improve the energy efficiency of refrigeration and heat pump cycles.By constructing multiple suction and discharge pressures, the refrigerant temperatures in the evaporators and condensers underwent step changes and approached the heat source temperatures.This helps to improve heat transfer efficiency and red

Highly Dispersed Ag2S Nanoparticles: In Situ Synthesis, Size Control, and Modification to Mechanical and Tribological Properties towards Nanocomposite Coatings

A facile in situ synthesis approach and a size control strategy were established to obtain Ag2S nanoparticles in polyimide (PI) composite coatings.Such Ag2S nanoparticles in the composite coatings were characterized, and the effects of the as-obtained Ag2S nanoparticles of different sizes on the mechanical and tribological properties of the nanocom

Schistosoma haematobium and Schistosoma bovis first generation hybrids undergo gene expressions changes consistent with species compatibility and heterosis.

When two species hybridize, the two parental genomes are brought together and some alleles might interact for the first time.To date, the extent of the transcriptomic changes in first hybrid generations, along with their functional outcome constitute an important knowledge gap, especially in parasite species.Here we explored the molecular and funct
