This work is devoted to the investigation of biocidal properties of quaternary ammonium compounds (QACs) based on pyridine structures with aromatic spacers, and their widely known analogs, against clinically significant microorganisms.This study is focused on investigating their antimicrobial activity (minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) hero
IntroductionNitraria tangutorum Bobr., a prominent xerophytic shrub, exhibits remarkable adaptability to harsh environment and plays a significant part in preventing desertification in northwest China owing to its exceptional drought and salinity tolerance.MethodsTo investigate the drought-resistant mechanism underlying N.tangutorum, we treated 8-w
Based on the thermohydraulic calculation model verified in this study and Non-dominated Sorted Genetic Algorithm-II (NSGA-II), a multi-objective configuration optimization method is proposed, and the performances of shell-and-tube heat exchanger with disc-and-doughnut baffles (STHX-DDB) and shell-and-tube heat exchanger with segmental baffles (STHX
Preserving the cultural and historical heritage of various world nations, and their thorough presentation is a long-term commitment of scholars and researchers working in many areas.From centuries every generation is aimed at keeping record about its labor, so that it could be revised and studied by the next generations.New information and multimed
Virtual Synchronous Generator (VSG)-based grid-forming converters (GFC) increasingly serve as interfaces between renewable energy resources and the power grids with high penetration.Although the emulation of the characteristics of Synchronous Generator (SG) enables GFC to provide virtual inertia and oscillation damping under the VSG control, it rem
