High salicylic acid concentration alters the electron flow associated with photosystem II in barley by Ghader Habibi, Atousa Vaziri

“…This lower Fv/Fm and PIABS coupled with lower levels of Chl b and carotenoids, and lower values of photosynthetic electron transport chain components including the electron transport flux (φEo) and the inferred oxygen evolving complex activity (Fv/Fo). By monitoring the chlorophyll a fluorescence rise kinetics, from the initial “O” level to the “P” (the peak) level, a dramatic increase in “OJ” phase was detected, which coincides with an increased photo-reduction of QA as a result of blockage of electron flow. …”

Experimental and Numerical Study on the Vortical Flow of MULDICON Wing Configuration by Ibrahim Madan, Jiun-Jih Miau, Shabudin Bin Mat

“…This paper highlights the results and comparison of the flow topology investigation above the unmanned combat aerial vehicle (UCAV) configuration, namely, multidisciplinary design configuration (MULDICON), with modified leading-edge profile at the apex region from a sharp to a blunt profile to reduce the complexity of the flow structure above the wing. It was found from the flow visualization results that at a low angle of attack, for instance, 10°, the onset of the flow separation took place near the apex region; the onset of a tip vortex at the wing tip was also detected. …”
