A method for evaluating the heat rejection efficiency in a Lunar power plant consisting of a free-piston Stirling engine FPSE is proposed.The waste heat from the FPSE is absorbed by the refrigerant circulating in a closed pumped loop and then rejected through a radiator into space.The magnitude of the heat flux rejected through the radiator is dete
Abstract.Peste des petits ruminants is endemic in many parts of the world, including the Middle East.In the Middle Eastern countries, this disease causes significant economic losses, since small ruminant breeding in this region is a source of income for poor people.The aim of the work was to review the English-language literature on the spread of p
We report on an ultra-compact, low loss and broadband TM-pass polarizer, which is constructed by two interleaved subwavelength-gratings (SWGs) waveguides inserted in the center of the strip waveguide on a silicon-on-insulator (SOI) platform.The device structure is optimally engineered to support Bloch mode for fundamental TM polarization only.There
This review provides background and perspective for the articles contributing to the Special Issue of MDPI Micro-organisms on Paramecium as a Modern Model Organism.The six articles Zodiac Ranger Parts cover a variety of topics, each taking advantage of an important aspect of Paramecium biology: peripheral surface proteins that are developmentally r
Objectives Post-radiation nasopharyngeal necrosis (PRNN) is a serious complication that severely impacts the quality of life and survival of nasopharyngeal carcinoma patients.Endoscopic debridement is considered the first-line treatment for PRNN.This study aimed to analyze clinical outcomes, focusing on the mucosal resurfacing status and the effect
