Pathogen-specific epitopes as epidemiological tools for defining the magnitude of Mycobacterium leprae transmission in areas endemic for leprosy. by Marcia V S B Martins, Marjorie M da S Guimarães, John S Spencer, Mariana A V B Hacker, Luciana S Costa, Fernanda M Carvalho, Annemieke Geluk, Jolien J van der Ploeg-van Schip, Maria A A Pontes, Heitor S Gonçalves, Janvier P de Morais, Tereza J P G Bandeira, Maria C V Pessolani, Patrick J Brennan, Geraldo M B Pereira

“…This subset of M. leprae-specific peptides allowed the differentiation of groups of individuals from sites hyperendemic for leprosy versus those from areas with lower level detection rates. A progressive reduction in the IFN-γ levels in response to the peptides was seen when contacts of multibacillary (MB) patients were compared to other less exposed groups, suggesting a down modulation of IFN-γ production with an increase in bacillary load or exposure to M. leprae. …”

Numerical investigation of cooling enhancement in double-layer fractal-like microchannel disk heat sinks via layer shifting and tertiary channels by Hosein Akhtari, Ardalan Shafiei Ghazani

“…The thermal and hydrodynamic performance of these enhanced designs is numerically evaluated and compared with single-layer and standard double-layer configurations under heat fluxes of 40, 60, and 80 W/cm² and inlet flow rates from 300 to 600 ml/min. While double layering effectively reduces pressure drop by redistributing the coolant flow, integrating tertiary microchannels leads to an additional ∼1.5 % drop due to reduced velocity and wall shear stress. …”

Simulation of the impacts of high temperature stress on pepper (Capsicum annum L.) yields by Bomi Park, Sojung Kim, Sumin Kim

“…PHR23, having a larger leaf area, accumulated more biomass than fruit yields in the initial month of exposure, thus increasing its yields at higher temperature conditions due to enhanced photosynthesis rates. The crop growth curve and parameters were formulated based on these studies, and the open field simulations were calibrated with measured yields from multiple locations in South Korea from 2020-2024. …”

Study on Heat Transfer of Fluid in a Porous Media by VOF Method with Fractal Reconstruction by Shuai Liu, Qingyong Zhu, Wenjun Xu

“…Through numerical simulation, the influence of the evaporation coefficient on the flow and heat transfer rate can be determined. Key findings from numerical simulations reveal the following: (1) Heat transfer rates decrease with increasing fractal dimension (surface complexity) and evaporation coefficient; (2) As the thermal Rayleigh number increases, the influence of the Marangoni number on heat transfer diminishes; (3) The coupling of buoyancy and Marangoni effects in porous media with complex evaporation surfaces significantly alters flow and heat transfer patterns compared to smooth-surfaced porous media. …”
