The impact of a laser pulse onto a liquid metal droplet is numerically investigated by utilising a weakly compressible single phase model; the thermodynamic closure is achieved by the Tait equation of state (EoS) for the liquid metal.The smoothed particle Blu-Ray Player hydrodynamics (SPH) method, which has been employed in the arbitrary Lagrangian
Background/Aims: New strategies are required to combat neuronal ischemia-reperfusion injuries.K6PC-5 is a novel sphingosine kinase 1 (SphK1) activator whose potential activity in neuronal cells has not yet been tested.Methods: Cell survival and necrosis were assessed with a Cell Counting Kit-8 assay and lactate dehydrogenase release assay, respecti
The security-reliability tradeoff (SRT) in free-space optical (FSO) communications is the most critical property to highlight, especially Suncatcher Wind Chimes with respect to the development of wireless optical communications.In this paper, opportunistic scheduling selection techniques are used to improve the SRT of multiuser FSO systems under th
The COVID-19 pandemic highlights the importance of responsive institutions: governments and communities coordinating policy changes; media, social networks, and officials swiftly and accurately conveying information; and an engaged public.This special issue explores Floor Mats (Carpet) social and political factors that both shaped initial response
