The aerodynamics of turbomachines for high–enthalpy gas heating by Karefyllidis, N

“…</p> <br> <p>In response to the urgent demand to reduce industrial CO₂ emissions and achieve net-zero by 2050, a new class of electrically-driven, energy-imparting turbomachines referred to as the turbo-heaters have been developed. These machines fundamentally aim to convert mechanical energy into internal energy without pressurising the gas, enabling ultra-high-enthalpy gas heating for a range of high-temperature industrial applications. …”

Serological cross-reactivity between Crimean-Congo haemorrhagic fever virus and Nairobi sheep disease virus glycoprotein C by Maze, EA, Booth, G, Limon, G, Belij-Rammerstorfer, S, Tchakarova, SR, Alexandrov, T, Browning, C, Wilsden, G, Ludi, AB, Charleston, B, Lambe, T

“…Crucially, only one seropositive sample to NSDV Gc-specific out of a set of 224 (0.4%) showed a neutralizing capacity at the lowest serum dilution (1:8), suggesting these field sera have not been exposed to NSDV. Based on an analysis of known epitopes in NP targeted by antibodies in sheep serum, we propose that NP is less cross-reactive because dominant epitopes are highly dissimilar between CCHFV and NSDV. …”
