A new annular lift fan configuration that has very high lift efficiency is explored by using a numerical scheme.The inlet lip radius and diffuser angle are maximized by semicircle duct walls and the location of the lift fan is moved from the throat to the diffuser area to maximize the diffusion effect of the ducted fan.The improved lift fan achieve
Treatment of tropical peat water in Sarawak peatlands nature reserve by utilising a batch electrocoagulation system
Tropical peat water is abundantly available in peatlands nature reserve, especially on Borneo Island.However, this water source contains humic substances that could be harmful to human health if consumed without undergoing water treatment process.Although tropical peat water could be treated with conventional treatment, the system possesses drawbac
Spatio-temporal Analysis of An Invasive Alien Species, Vachellia nilotica, on Rodrigues Island, Mauritius, Using Geographic Information Systems and Remote Sensing Techniques
Invasive alien species (IAS) constitute a large console side upper right and growing environmental and socio-economic problem.Tropical islands, one of the richest habitats in the world, are especially vulnerable to invasions because of their island-specific flora and fauna.The aim of this study is thus to assess the viability of monitoring IAS dist
A rare case report of dominant paediatric sinus pericranii: food for thought!
Abstract Background Sinus pericranii (SP) is a rare venous anomaly abnormally connecting the intracranial dural sinuses with the epicranial venous channels.Various authors have attempted to classify this entity to decide management for this potentially life-threatening condition.With approximately 200 cases reported in world literature till date, n
Characterisation of type I and type II nNOS-expressing interneurons in the barrel cortex of mouse
In the neocortex, neuronal Nitric Oxide-Synthase (nNOS) is essentially expressed in two sets of GABAergic neurons: type I neurons displaying a high expression and type II neurons displaying a weaker expression.Using immunocytochemistry on mice expressing GFP under the control of the glutamic acid decarboxylase 67k (GAD67) promoter we studied the di
