Regression transients modeling of solid rocket motor burning surfaces with physics-guided neural network
Monitoring the burning surface regression in ground static ignition tests is crucial for predicting the internal ballistic performance of solid rocket motors (SRMs).A previously proposed ultra-sparse computed tomography imaging method provides a possibility for real-time monitoring.However, sample shortages of SRMs highlights the need for monitorin
VSGs Expressed during Natural T. b. gambiense Infection Exhibit Extensive Sequence Divergence and a Subspecies-Specific Bias towards Type B N-Terminal Domains
ABSTRACT Trypanosoma brucei gambiense is the primary causative agent of human African trypanosomiasis (HAT), a vector-borne disease endemic to West and Central Africa.The extracellular parasite evades antibody recognition within the host bloodstream by altering its variant surface glycoprotein (VSG) coat through a process of antigenic variation.The
From two competing oscillators to one coupled-clock pacemaker cell system
At the beginning of this century, debates regarding what are the main control mechanisms that ignite the action potential (AP) in heart pacemaker cells dominated the electrophysiology field.The original theory which prevailed for over 50 years had advocated that the ensemble of surface membrane ion channels (i.e., M clock) is Swaddle sufficient to
