NUMERICAL STUDY ON CHARACTERISTICS OF LEAD-BISMUTH LUBRICATED HYDRODYNAMIC BEARING CONSIDERING NON-CONDENSABLE GAS

Numerical Study on Characteristics of Lead-Bismuth Lubricated Hydrodynamic Bearing Considering Non-Condensable Gas

Lead-Bismuth Eutectic (LBE) is an interesting candidate as a coolant for Generation IV nuclear power plants.Lead-bismuth lubricated radial guide bearing is the key component of the mechanical pump in a lead-bismuth coolant system.In this paper, the transient calculation model of multiphase lubrication flow field of journal bearing is established by

A paradigm for virus-host coevolution: sequential counter-adaptations between endogenous and exogenous retroviruses.

Endogenous retroviruses (ERVs) are remnants of ancient retroviral infections of the host germline transmitted vertically from generation to generation.It is hypothesized that some ERVs are used by the host as restriction factors to block the infection of pathogenic retroviruses.Indeed, some ERVs efficiently interfere with the replication of related

Functional Identification of Px-fringe and Px-engrailed Genes under Heat Stress in Chlorpyrifos-Resistant and -Susceptible Plutela xylostella (Lepidoptera: Plutellidae)

In our previous research, the fitness cost of resistance of the diamondback moth (DBM), MOISTURIZING COMPLEX Plutella xylostella found in insecticide-resistant DBM (Rc-DBM) under heat stress was based on heavier damage to wing veins when compared to insecticide-susceptible DBM (Sm-DBM).To investigate the molecular mechanism of the damage to the vei
