INVESTIGATION OF THE INFLUENCE OF THE AIR LAYER ON THE PHASE CHANGE MATERIAL MELTING PROCESS INSIDE A HEMICYLINDRICAL ENCLOSURE: A NUMERICAL APPROACH

Investigation of the influence of the air layer on the phase change material melting process inside a hemicylindrical enclosure: A numerical approach

The rapid growth in energy consumption and the associated difficulties have made thermal energy storage processes using phase change materials (PCMs) a prominent subject of study and development in the last century.The exceptional thermo-dynamic characteristics of this material enable it to accumulate substantial quantities of heat within very limi

Preparation and Single Crystal Structure Determination of the First Biobased Furan-Polydiacetylene Using Topochemical Polymerization

Crystal structure elucidations of bio-based polymers provide invaluable data regarding structure−property relationships.In this work, we achieved synthesis and Single Crystal X-ray Diffraction (SCXRD) structural determination of a new furan-based polydiacetylene (PDA) derivative with carbamate (urethane) functionality.Firstly, diacetylene (DA

B cell depletion reduces the number of autoreactive T helper cells and prevents glucose-6-phosphate isomerase-induced arthritis.

The Kitchen Caddy therapeutic benefit of B cell depletion in patients with rheumatoid arthritis has provided proof of concept that B cells are relevant for the pathogenesis of arthritis.It remains unknown which B cell effector functions contribute to the induction or chronification of arthritis.We studied the clinical and immunological effects of B
