Light-time effect in two eclipsing binaries: NO Vul and EW Lyr
No full text32nd International Physics Congress of Turkish-Physical-Society (TPS) -- SEP 06-09, 2016 -- Bodrum, TURKEYIn this study, orbital period variations of two eclipsing binary systems (NO Vul and EW Lyr) were discussed. Possible light time effects due to third bodies in these systems were re-examined. The mass function and orbital period of hypothetical third bodies were calculated to be 0.000627 +/- 1.000003 M-circle dot, 26.17 +/- 0.05 years and 0.12682 +/- 0.00003 M-circle dot, 77.23 +/- 0.72 years for NO Vul and EW Lyr, respectively.Turkish Phys So
Exact analytical solutions of the fractional biological population model, fractional EW and modified EW equations
No full textIn this paper, exact analytical solutions of the biological population model, the EW and the modified EW equations with a conformable derivative operator have been examined by means of the trial solution algorithm and the complete discrimination system. Dark, bright and singular traveling wave solutions of the equations have been obtained by algorithm. Also, revealed singular periodic solutions have been listed. All solutions were verified by substituting them into their corresponding equation via Mathematica package program. © 2021 Balikesir University.

The tumble mode - where test pilots fear to tread
No full textFollowing a fatal accident in 1997 and identification of common patterns in several (usually fatal) previous accidents the AAIB (United Kingdom Air Accidents Investigation Branch) asked the BMAA (British Microlight Aircraft Association) to pursue a course of investigation into the tumble mode, which had been attributed as the primary cause of that fatal accident.
The tumble mode is a peculiarity of weightshift controlled aircraft - that is flexwing microlights and hang-gliders. It is a departure from controlled flight leading to a nose-down pitch autorotation: pitch rates of 400°/s are known. When a tumble occurs in a microlight aeroplane, it is rare for the crew to survive and loss of the aircraft is universal

Tanami EW - radiometric line data (AWAGS)
No full textMaintenance and Update Frequency: notPlannedStatement: This Tanami EW - radiometric line data (AWAGS) is an airborne-derived radiometric data for the NTGS Tanami EW Detailed Airborne Magnetic Radiometric and Digital Elevation Survey, NT, 2018. The data was acquired under the project No. 1312 for the geological survey of NT. A total of 97969 line-kilometres of data at a line spacing of 200m were acquired during this survey. To constrain long wavelengths in the data, an independent data set, the Australia-wide Airborne Geophysical Survey (AWAGS) airborne magnetic data, was used to control the base levels of the survey data (Milligan et al., 2009). This survey data is essentially levelled to AWAGS. Noise-adjusted singular value decomposition (NASVD) has been applied to the data. NASVD is a spectral component analysis procedure for the removal of noise from gamma-ray spectra. Details of the specifications of individual airborne surveys can be found in the Fourteenth Edition of the Index of Airborne Geophysical Surveys (Percival, 2014). This Index is also available online at http://pid.geoscience.gov.au/dataset/79134.

TGF-β type i receptor kinase inhibitor EW-7197 suppresses cholestatic liver fibrosis by inhibiting HIF1α-induced epithelial mesenchymal transition
No full textBackground/Aims: Hypoxia is an environmental factor that aggravates liver fibrosis. HIFla activates hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) and increases transforming growth factor-ß (TGF-β) signaling and the epithelial mesenchymal transition (EMT), accelerating the progression of fibrosis. We evaluated the anti-fibrotic therapeutic potential of a small-molecule inhibitor of TGF-β type I receptor kinase, EW-7197, on HIF1α-derived TGF-β signaling in cholestatic liver fibrosis. Methods: We used a bile duct ligation (BDL)-operated rat model to characterize the role of HIF1α-derived TGF-β signaling in liver fibrosis. Cellular assays were performed in LX-2 cells (human immortalized HSCs). The anti-fibrotic effects of EW-7197 in livertissues and HSCs were investigated via biochemical assays, immunohistochemistry (IHC), immunofiuorescence (IF), chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) assays, real-time PCR, and western blotting. Results: In our BDL rat model, orally administered EW-7197 inhibited fibrosis and attenuated HIF1α-induced activation of HSCs and EMT in vivo. In addition, EW-7197 inhibited HIF1α-derived HSC activation and expression of EMT markers in LX-2 cells in vitro. Conclusion: This study suggests that EW-7197 exhibits potential as a treatment for liver fibrosis because it inhibits HIF1α-induced TGF-β signaling. © 2016 The Author(s)
Strengthening Early Warning Response in the Construction Sector: A Qualitative Study on Mechanisms Influencing the Response to Early Warning Signs in Dutch Construction Projects
No full textConstruction projects have become more complex over time, and cost overruns and time delays have become a global phenomenon. Signs that can indicate future project failure, such as cost overruns and time delays, in early project phases are Early Warning (EW) signs. EW signs are defined as indicators for potential future problems. This research investigates mechanisms that influence the response to EW signs in construction projects. Directions for solutions to mitigate the obstructions for responding to EW signs found in this research are also provided. This research provides a new perspective compared to current literature, by conducting research from the perspective of a contractor, including the interaction with subcontractors. Previous studies focused on the client’s perspective instead.This qualitative research uses a combination of research methods including an in-depth case study on the EW response of three constructions projects, expert interviews and an expert meeting. Data analysis in this research uses grounded theory methodology, and combines organisational behaviour theory with the topic of EW signs.Two main mechanisms influencing the EW response were found: (1) the lack of information flow in projects seems to prevent EW signs from being identified, and (2) group culture and team interaction were found to hinder the response to EW signs in projects. A third mechanism was found as a recurring theme impacting three out of four analysed EW responses: interpretations of agreements and contracts, and trust in the work carried out by other parties seem to reduce the activity of identifying and responding to EW signs.To mitigate the obstructions for identifying and responding to EW signs found in this research, the following directions for solutions are concluded to show potential: attention for individual characteristics in team composition, equipping the information system in projects with accessible options to store, and keep track of potential EW signs during projects, increasing the attention to EW signs during the tender phase, and creating awareness of the importance of responding to EW signs in project teams.Civil Engineering | Construction Management and Engineerin
TGF-beta Type I Receptor Kinase Inhibitor EW-7197 Suppresses Cholestatic Liver Fibrosis by Inhibiting HIF1 alpha-Induced Epithelial Mesenchymal Transition
No full textBackground/Aims: Hypoxia is an environmental factor that aggravates liver fibrosis. HIF1 alpha activates hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) and increases transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) signaling and the epithelial mesenchymal transition (EMT), accelerating the progression of fibrosis. We evaluated the anti-fibrotic therapeutic potential of a small-molecule inhibitor of TGF-beta type I receptor kinase, EW-7197, on HIF1 alpha-derived TGF-beta signaling in cholestatic liver fibrosis. Methods: We used a bile duct ligation (BDL)-operated rat model to characterize the role of HIF1 alpha-derived TGF-beta signaling in liver fibrosis. Cellular assays were performed in LX-2 cells (human immortalized HSCs). The anti-fibrotic effects of EW-7197 in liver tissues and HSCs were investigated via biochemical assays, immunohistochemistry (IHC), immunofluorescence (IF), chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) assays, real-time PCR, and western blotting. Results: In our BDL rat model, orally administered EW-7197 inhibited fibrosis and attenuated HIF1 alpha-induced activation of HSCs and EMT in vivo. In addition, EW-7197 inhibited HIF1 alpha-derived HS[activation and expression of EMT markers in LX-2 cells in vitro. Conclusion: This study suggests that FW-7197 exhibits potential as a treatment for liver fibrosis because it inhibits HIF1 alpha-induced TGF-beta signaling. (C) 2016 The Author(s) Published by S.
