The present paper reports a 2D-PIV (particle image velocimetry) study of Classic Tee (White the effect of the operating point on the leakage flow in a low-speed ring fan.First, the flow pattern has been studied at 12 operating points covering the whole characteristic curve.At very low loading, the leakage flow streams along the rotor ring and is di
Abstract Background Vessel collision induces blunt and sharp force traumas to aquatic animals and is a leading anthropogenic impact affecting cetaceans worldwide.Vessel collision is an important threat affecting vulnerable coastal cetaceans such as the Indo-Pacific humpback dolphins (Sousa chinensis) which reside in coastal waters of Hong Kong amon
In four preregistered studies, we tested implications from a cooperation model that explains victim-blaming as a strategic move, as a way for people to avoid the costs of helping victims (who seem to be unpromising cooperation partners) without paying the reputational cost of being seen as ungenerous, reluctant cooperators.An implication of this pe
Vegetation is a fundamental component of terrestrial ecosystems, and accurately assessing the effects of seasonal climate Car Mounts variations, extreme weather events, and land use changes on vegetation dynamics is crucial.The Ganjiang River Basin (GRB), a key region for water conservation and recharge in southeastern China, has experienced signif
Abstract The latest generation of smartphones are increasingly viewed as handheld computers rather than as phones, due to their powerful on-board computing capability, capacious memories, large screens and open operating systems that encourage application development.This paper provides a brief state-of-the-art overview of health and healthcare sma
