Biological flyers and swimmers navigate in unsteady wake flows using limited sensory abilities and actuation energies.Understanding how vortical structures can be leveraged for energy-efficient navigation in unsteady flows is beneficial in developing autonomous navigation for small-scale aerial and marine vehicles.Such vehicles are typically operat
A high-fidelity numerical analysis methodology was proposed for evaluating the fuel rod cladding integrity of a Prototype Gen IV Sodium Fast Reactor (PGSFR) during normal operation and Design basis events (DBEs).The MARS-LMR code, system transient safety analysis code, was applied to analyze the DBEs.The results of the MARS-LMR code Griddle Accesso
We developed a project during an undergraduate course (advanced experimental chemistry) on the microwave-assisted synthesis of biodiesel (BD), via base-catalyzed transesterification of coconut Bartöl fat (CF) and soybean oil (SO) by ethanol, followed by product analysis by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry.Our goals were to introduce a problem
The invasion of Apis florea in Taiwan was first recorded in 2017.The deformed wing virus (DWV) has been identified as a common bee virus in apiculture around the world.Ectoparasitic mites are the main DWV vector for horizontal transmission.However, there are few studies about the Bar Soap ectoparasitic mite of Euvarroa sinhai, which has been found
The experiments were carried out on 5 different bioproducts for control of Verticillium longisporum in oilseed rape.For in vitro trials, greenhouse trials and field trials, the bioproducts used were based on Kitchen Knives bacteria (Bacillus amyloliquefaciens, Pseudomonas veronii) and fungi (Pythium oligandrum, Trichoderma asperellum, Coniothyrium
