Aerodynamic Optimization Method for Propeller Airfoil Based on DBO-BP and NSWOA by Changjing Guo, Zhiling Xu, Xiaoyan Yang, Hao Li

“…The NACA4412 airfoil is selected as the research subject, optimizing the original airfoil at three angles of attack (2°, 5° and 10°). The CST (Class Function/Shape Function Transformation) airfoil parametrization method is used to parameterize the original airfoil, and Latin hypercube sampling is employed to perturb the original airfoil within a certain range to generate a sample space. …”

Systems genetic analysis of osteoblast-lineage cells. by Gina Calabrese, Brian J Bennett, Luz Orozco, Hyun M Kang, Eleazar Eskin, Carlos Dombret, Olivier De Backer, Aldons J Lusis, Charles R Farber

“…In conclusion, we have identified a physiologically relevant gene network and used it to discover novel genes and regulatory mechanisms involved in the function of osteoblast-lineage cells. Our results highlight the power of harnessing natural genetic variation to generate co-expression networks that can be used to gain insight into the function of specific cell-types.…”

Deformation anisotropy and lamellar α re-orientation of TC17 alloy under the different slip modes of HCP structure by Cong Li, Jiao Luo

“…Therein, the variation of the rotation factor with tilt angle conforms to the quadratic function, reaching a maximum value around 45°. When the rotation factor is small, the ratio of (01–11) [1–210] slip system with small Burgers vector at the phase boundary is large, the rotation tendency is poor, and the intragranular dislocation slip replaces the grain rotation as the strain accommodation mechanism, the lamella is more prone to globularization. …”
