THE EVALUATION OF THE CRITICAL WIND SPEED THAT OVERTURNS A VEHICLE WITH SPACE-AVERAGED INSTANTANEOUS WIND VELOCITY

The evaluation of the critical wind speed that overturns a vehicle with space-averaged instantaneous wind velocity

Under the existing method based on a detailed equation for evaluating the wind speed that can cause a vehicle to overturn, it is assumed that the crosswind blows the vehicle at the same wind speed uniformly over the entire length of the vehicle body along the track.However, taking into consideration the actual wind state, there is a wind speed dist

The Sweet Potato NAC-Domain Transcription Factor IbNAC1 Is Dynamically Coordinated by the Activator IbbHLH3 and the Repressor IbbHLH4 to Reprogram the Defense Mechanism against Wounding.

IbNAC1 is known to activate the defense system by reprogramming a genetic network against herbivory in sweet potato.This regulatory activity elevates plant defense potential but relatively weakens plants by IbNAC1-mediated JA response.The mechanism controlling IbNAC1 expression to balance plant vitality and survival remains unclear.In this study, a

Hydrodynamic Performance of a Hybrid System Combining a Fixed Breakwater and a Wave Energy Converter: An Experimental Study

In this paper, a hybrid system integrating a fixed breakwater and an oscillating buoy type wave energy converter (WEC) is introduced.The energy converter is designed to extract the wave power by making use of the wave-induced heave motions of the three floating pontoons in front of the fixed breakwater.A preliminary experimental study is carried ou

Hydrolysis of Methylumbeliferyl Substrate Proxies for Esterase Activities as Indicator for Microbial Oil Degradation in the Ocean: Evidence from Observations in the Aftermath of the Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill (Gulf of Mexico)

Biological oil weathering facilitated by specialized heterotrophic microbial communities plays a key role in the fate of petroleum hydrocarbon in the ocean.The most common methods of assessing oil biodegradation involve (i) measuring changes in the composition and concentration of oil over time and/or (ii) biological incubations with stable or radi
