LATTICE BOLTZMANN MODEL AND ITS GPU ACCELERATION FOR TRANSIENT FLOW IN CHANNEL AND PRESSURIZED PIPE COMBINED WATER DELIVERY SYSTEM

Lattice Boltzmann model and its GPU acceleration for transient flow in channel and pressurized pipe combined water delivery system

Abstract The open channel and pressurized pipe combined water delivery systems usually have long pipelines, many overflow structures, and especially with two different flow regimes, making the transient simulations complicated THROWS and time-consuming.A graphics processing unit (GPU)-accelerated lattice Boltzmann model (LBM) is proposed to solve t

A Comparative Study of Food Source Selection in Stingless Bees and Honeybees: Scent Marks, Location, or Color

In social bees, the choice of food sources is based on several factors, including scent marks, color, and location of flowers.Here, we used similar setups, in which two stingless bee species, Melipona subnitida and Plebeia flavocincta, and the Western honeybee, Apis mellifera, were tested regarding the importance of chemical cues, color cues, and l

Epstein-Barr Virus Nuclear Antigen 1 Recruits Cyclophilin A to Facilitate the Replication of Viral DNA Genome

Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) nuclear antigen 1 (EBNA1)-mediated DNA episomal genome replication and persistence are essential for the viral pathogenesis.Cyclophilin A (CYPA) is upregulated in EBV-associated nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) with unknown roles.In the present approach, cytosolic CYPA was found to be bound with EBNA1 into the nucleus.The ami
