Computational unsteady flow analysis for third-grade fluid from an isothermal vertical cylinder through a Darcian porous medium (2019)
Journal Article
Hiremath, A., Reddy, G., & Beg, O. (2019). Computational unsteady flow analysis for third-grade fluid from an isothermal vertical cylinder through a Darcian porous medium. Heat Transfer - Asian Research, 48(7), 2752-2772. https://doi.org/10.1002/htj.21511

The present paper describes a mathematical model for free-convective laminar incompressible boundary layer flow of a third-grade fluid of the Reiner-Rivlin differential type, external to a uniformly heated semi-infinite vertical cylinder embedded in...

Cuckoo Bumble Bees (Bombus (Psithyrus)) (2019)
Book Chapter
Martin, S. (2019). Cuckoo Bumble Bees (Bombus (Psithyrus)). In C. Starr (Ed.), Encyclopedia of Social Insects. Springer. https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-90306-4_33-1

There are about 250 species of bumble bees, genus Bombus, of which 30 have evolved into social parasites known as cuckoo bumble bees. All cuckoo bumble bees were at one time placed in their own genus, Psithyrus, which is now treated as a monophyletic... Read More about Cuckoo Bumble Bees (Bombus (Psithyrus)).

Cilia-assisted hydromagnetic pumping of biorheological couple stress fluids (2019)
Journal Article

A theoretical study is conducted for magnetohydrodynamic pumping of electro-conductive couple stress physiological liquids (e.g. blood) through a two-dimensional ciliated channel. A geometric model is employed for the cilia which are distributed at e... Read More about Cilia-assisted hydromagnetic pumping of biorheological couple stress fluids.

Mice Exposed to Combined Chronic Low-Dose Irradiation and Modeled Microgravity Develop Long-Term Neurological Sequelae (2019)
Journal Article

Spaceflight poses many challenges for humans. Ground-based analogs typically focus on single parameters of spaceflight and their associated acute effects. This study assesses the long-term transcriptional effects following single and combination spac...

Exergy analysis of a diesel engine with waste cooking biodiesel and triacetin (2019)
Journal Article
Odibi, C., Babaie, M., Zare, A., Nabi, M., Bodisco, T., & Brown, R. (2019). Exergy analysis of a diesel engine with waste cooking biodiesel and triacetin. Energy Conversion and Management, 198(111912), https://doi.org/10.1016/j.enconman.2019.111912

This study uses the first and second laws of thermodynamics to investigate the effect of 18 oxygenated fuels on the quality and quantity of energy in a turbo-charged, common-rail six19 cylinder diesel engine. This work was performed using a range of... Read More about Exergy analysis of a diesel engine with waste cooking biodiesel and triacetin.

Investigation of extensive green roof outdoor spatio-temporal thermal performance during summer in a subtropical monsoon climate (2019)
Journal Article

The thermal performance of green roofs is usually site-specific and changes temporally. Hence, thermal performance evaluation is necessary to optimize green roof design and its cooling effect. In this paper, we evaluated the outdoor spatio-temporal p...

Interaction of microtubules and actin during the post-fusion phase of exocytosis (2019)
Journal Article

Exocytosis is the intracellular trafficking step where a secretory vesicle fuses with the plasma membrane to release vesicle content. Actin and microtubules both play a role in exocytosis; however, their interplay is not understood. Here we study the...

Gene expression and immunohistochemical analyses identify SOX2 as major risk factor for overall survival and relapse in Ewing sarcoma patients (2019)
Journal Article

Background: Up to 30-40% of Ewing sarcoma (EwS) patients with non-metastatic disease develop local or metastatic relapse within a time span of 2-10 years. This is in part caused by the absence of prognostic biomarkers that can identify high-risk pati...
