This study examined three-dimensional, volumetric mean velocity fields and corresponding performance measurements for an isolated vertical-axis wind turbine (VAWT) and for co- and counter-rotating pairs of VAWTs with varying incident wind direction and turbine spacings.The purpose was to identify turbine configurations and flow mechanisms that can
Differential Response of Coral Assemblages to Thermal Stress Underscores the Complexity in Predicting Bleaching Susceptibility.
Coral bleaching events have been predicted to occur more frequently in the coming decades with global warming.The susceptibility of corals to bleaching during thermal stress episodes is dependent on many factors and an understanding of these underlying drivers is crucial for conservation management.In 2013, a mild bleaching episode ensued in respon
Perinatal risk factors and preliminary prediction of conductive hearing loss in infancy
Purpose To investigate the perinatal risk factors for conductive hearing loss (CHL) in Nail Buffer infancy and develop an initial prediction model to facilitate accurate diagnosis and early detection of CHL.Method This retrospective study utilized data from the Newborn Cohort Study of Hearing Loss (ChiCTR2100049765).Infants who underwent diagnostic
Left Flank Pain and Hydronephrosis as the Initial Presentations of Advanced Gastric Cancer
Ureteric obstruction is rarely noted in cases of gastric cancer.Its involvement by distant metastasis from gastric adenocarcinoma Tridonic EC 30 C502K without direct invasion is an exceptionally unusual occurrence.This is the story of a 58-year-old man who arrived at the emergency department with acute flank pain and fever.He was initially diagnose
