Komplex nadřazenosti. „Naše“ versus „cizí“ v českém užitém umění mezi světovými válkami by Iva Knobloch

“…Although the textual programmes of the representatives of the state, national style come to terms with the position of Czech applied art and architecture on the world stage in an immature way, the actual results of their artistic work no longer have to be evaluated from the modernist perspective as a dead end, but as distinctive manifestations of international modern decorativism, despite the isolationist ideas of the creators at the time. …”

Broadband high sound absorption from labyrinthine metasurfaces by Huiting Chang, Liu Liu, Chi Zhang, Xinhua Hu

“…Here, we report on the design, fabrication, and characterization of acoustic metasurfaces consisting of dead-end channels coiled in a 2D plane. It is found that when the area of the channel’s cross section is about 1/10 of the area (4.3 cm × 4.3 cm) of the upper surface of the building block, the sound loss in channels approaches to a critical value, resulting in near-perfect absorption (A > 99%) at resonant frequency. …”

Analysis of railway transport snow-blowing equipment operating modes by diesel generator operation parameters by Kochetkov Anton, Gulyaev Mikhail, Popkov Artem

“…The technological cycle of such trains can be reduced to three operations: clearing the track and loading snow mass, transportation to the unloading dead end, unloading and returning to the work site. …”

Non-linear relationship between built environment and non-motorized travel efficiency under the traffic micro-circulation model. by Xiaoyuan Dong, Lining Wang, Sen Du, Bicheng Qian, Jiaxin Wang

“…The results indicate that factors such as the branch road/street, land-use mix, land-use density, neighborhood entrance/exit density, bus station density, and dead-end-roads density are key influences on non-motorized travel efficiency. …”

Why Markets Make Mistakes by Weil, Henry Birdseye

“…The undesirable outcomes could include vicious cycles of investment and profitability, market bubbles, accelerated commoditization, excessive investment in dead-end technologies, giving up on a product that becomes a huge success, waiting too long to reinvent legacy companies, and changes in market leadership. …”

An energy-efficient method for mitigating membrane fouling : a novel embodiment of the inverse fluidized bed by Zamani, Farhad, Ma, Aijing, Han, Qi, Ma, Qinglang, Zhang, Hua, Fane, Anthony G., Chew, Jia Wei

“…The key highlights are (i) for all the conditions investigated, IFB consistently gave a lower trans-membrane pressure (TMP) than aeration at the same energy requirement; (ii) IFB performed better even when the energy input was reduced by 87.5%; (iii) IFB provided an impressive enhancement of up to 54 times that of dead-end filtration.…”

UiTM Jasin Navigation system / Nur Syahirah Mohammad Ariffin by Mohammad Ariffin, Nur Syahirah

“…People often use signboard to get the direction, also by asking another people around that sometimes can lead to dead end. If they reach on that particular building, they are having trouble to search for indoor room. …”

Simultaneously reconstructing viral cross-species transmission history and identifying the underlying constraints. by Faria, N, Suchard, M, Rambaut, A, Streicker, D, Lemey, P

“…By further extending this model with branch partitioning, we allow for distinct host transition processes on external and internal branches, thus discriminating between recent cross-species transmissions, many of which are likely to result in dead-end infections, and host shifts that reflect successful onwards transmission in the new host species. …”

Critical, sustainable and threshold fluxes for membrane filtration with water industry applications. by Field, R, Pearce, G

“…However, in the application of UF membranes in the water industry, dead-end (direct-flow) designs are used. Direct-flow is a pseudo steady state operation with different fouling characteristics to cross-flow, and thus the critical flux concept has limited applicability. …”

Catalysis in the crystal: synchrotron radiation studies with glycogen phosphorylase b. by Hajdu, J, Acharya, K, Stuart, D, McLaughlin, P, Barford, D, Oikonomakos, N, Klein, H, Johnson, L

“…There are pronounced conformational changes associated with the formation and binding of the high-affinity dead-end product, heptulose-2-phosphate, which show that movement of an arginine residue, Arg 569, is critical for formation of the substrate-phosphate recognition site. …”

Fouling mechanisms in constant flux crossflow ultrafiltration by Kirschner, AY, Cheng, Y-H, Paul, DR, Field, RW, Freeman, BD

“…A few studies apply these models to constant flux dead-end filtration systems. However, these models have not been reported for constant flux crossflow filtration, despite the frequent use of this mode of membrane operation in practical applications. …”

Role of initiating nucleoside triphosphate concentrations in the regulation of influenza virus replication and transcription. by Vreede, F, Gifford, H, Brownlee, G

“…In addition, we show that base pair mutations in the vRNA promoter can lead to nontemplated dead-end mutations during replication to cRNA in vivo. …”

Separation of hydridocarbonyltris(triphenylphosphine) rhodium (I)catalyst using solvent resistant nanofiltration membrane by Nur S.A. Razak, Maizatul S. Shaharun, Hilmi Mukhtar, Mohd F. Taha
