5 MW Wind Turbine Annual Energy Production Improvement by Flow Control Devices
(MDPI, 2018-11-06)
Several flow control devices have been studied in recent years. Majority of them were designed firstly for aeronautical purposes. At present many research is aimed to introduce these devices in wind turbines (WTs) in order ...
Gurney Flap Implementation on a DU91W250 Airfoil
(MDPI, 2018-11-06)
Abstract
The increasing capability of Wind Turbine (WT) based power generation systems has derived in an increment of the WT rotor diameter, i.e., longer rotor blades. This results in an increase of the electrical power ...
Strategies for the intensification of CO2 valorization in the one-step dimethyl ether synthesis process
(ACS, 2019-12-16)
The intensification of CO2 valorization has been theoretically studied in the direct synthesis of dimethyl ether (DME) carried out in a packed-bed reactor by means of two strategies pursuing the attenuation of the thermodynamic ...
An archaeology of “small worlds”: social inequality in early medieval Iberian rural communities
(Taylor & Francis, 2019-10-17)
This paper uses the archaeological record to analyse the forms of social inequality that existed within early medieval rural communities. The paper takes as its case study Álava, where there is a significant density of ...
Metropolitan and post-national urbanity beyond (pluri)nation(al)-states in the EU: Benchmarking Scotland, Catalonia and the Basque Country
(European Centre for Minority Issues, 2017)
This article compares the cases of the three small, stateless, city-regional nations of Scotland, Catalonia, and the Basque Country in the period after September 2014. Since the referendum on Scottish independence, these ...
Genetic and environmental influences on adult human height across birth cohorts from 1886 to 1994
(eLife Sciences Publications, 2016-12-14)
Human height variation is determined by genetic and environmental factors, but it
remains unclear whether their influences differ across birth-year cohorts. We conducted an
individual-based pooled analysis of 40 twin ...
A novel RT-QPCR-based assay for the relative quantification of residue specific m6A RNA methylation
(Nature Publishing Group, 2019-12)
N6-methyladenosine (m6A) is the most common and abundant RNA modification. Recent studies have shown its importance in the regulation of several biological processes, including the immune response, and different approaches ...
The methylome of the celiac intestinal epithelium harbours genotype-independent alterations in the HLA region
(Nature Publishing, 2019-02-04)
The Human Leucocyte Antigen (HLA) locus and other DNA sequence variants identified in Genome-Wide Association (GWA) studies explain around 50% of the heritability of celiac disease (CD). However, the pathogenesis of CD ...
Genetic and environmental influences on height from infancy to early adulthood: An individualbased pooled analysis of 45 twin cohorts
(Nature Research, 2016-06-23)
Height variation is known to be determined by both genetic and environmental factors, but a
systematic description of how their influences differ by sex, age and global regions is lacking. We
conducted an individual-based ...
Analysis of DC–DC power supply systems for pulsed loads from green electronics perspective
(The Institution of Engineering and Technology, 2015-06-01)
Discontinuous loads frequently compromise the performance of their power source and electronics. They cause the voltage and current ripple at the source and load, and introduce electromagnetic interferences. Also, they ...
