Performance evaluation of a variable-speed contra-rotating pump-turbine for low-head pumped hydro energy storage: An experimental study by Ruben Ansorena Ruiz, David Schürenkamp, Daan P.K. Truijen, Justus P. Hoffstaedt, Antonio Jarquin Laguna, Jonathan Fahlbeck, Håkan Nilsson, Melvin Joseph, Mehrdad Zangeneh, Jeroen D.M. De Kooning, Jonas Oldeweme, Heiko Schwarz, Nils Goseberg

“…Low-head pumped hydro energy storage (LH PHS) systems address this gap in flat topographic regions but requires efficient pump-turbine technology for operation at variable low heads. This study investigates the use of a variable-speed contra-rotating pump-turbine (CR RPT) for LH PHS applications, presenting experimental results from a model-scale test rig stablished at Technische Universität Braunschweig. …”

Targeted high-level production of chuangxinmycin and its halogenated derivatives with antitubercular activity by Xiongfang Zhao, Yuan Lu, Xintong Zhang, Xiumin Zhang, Yu Du, Xingli Han, Yuting Zhu, Wei Yu, Linzhuan Wu, Xingxing Li, Yuanyuan Shi, Tianyu Zhang, Bin Hong

“…Its congener norchuangxinmycin (NCM), which lacks antibacterial activity against various bacteria, unexpectedly retains antitubercular activity, indicating new mechanisms of action against M. tuberculosis in addition to tryptophan-tRNA synthetase inhibition. However, the variable low productivity and the limited number of active structural analogues represent a significant challenge for the future discovery and development of new anti-tuberculosis drugs involving CM and its derivatives. …”

Multi-objective observational constraint of tropical Atlantic and Pacific low-cloud variability narrows uncertainty in cloud feedback by Mengxi Wu, Hui Su, J. David Neelin

“…Here, we empirically constrain this feedback in two major low cloud regions, the tropical Pacific and Atlantic, using interannual variability. Low cloud sensitivities to local SST and to remote SST, represented by lower-troposphere temperature, are poorly captured in many models of the latest global climate model ensemble, especially in the less-studied tropical Atlantic. …”

Daily Variability in Sedentary Behaviour and Physical Activity Responsiveness in Older Women by Dale M. Grant, David J. Tomlinson, Kostas Tsintzas, Gladys L. Onambele-Pearson

“…Therefore, this study hypothesized that (1) inter-day variability in certain PBs would decrease following a sedentary behaviour (SB) reduction intervention, and (2) those with high inter-day variability (low regularity) at baseline would be less likely to alter their behaviour compared to those with low inter-day variability (high regularity). …”
