Dynamic study of ORC evaporator operating under fluctuating thermal power from waste heat sources by Jiménez-Arreola, Manuel, Pili, Roberto, Wieland, Christoph, Romagnoli, Alessandro

“…The component of major importance for the dynamics of the system is the evaporator, because it links the heat source to the ORC. Although different dynamic models of heat exchangers for ORC are available in literature, researchers have hardly focused their attention on a thorough analysis of the key factors that affect the evaporator dynamics. …”

Credit market tightness and zombie firms: theory and evidence by Hamano, M, Schnattinger, P, Shintani, M, Uesugi, I, Zanetti, F

“…We develop a simple model of financial intermediation with search and matching frictions between banks and firms. The model links credit market tightness –encapsulating the abundance of credit– to the search and opportunity costs of credit intermediation. …”

Hypoxia inhibits MHC I expression and antigen presentation to escape immune surveillance by Estephan, H, Tailor, A, Parker, R, Kreamer, M, Papandreou, I, Campo, L, Easton, A, Moon, EJ, Denko, N, Ternette, N, Hammond, E, Giaccia, A

“…Hypoxia is a common feature of solid tumors that has previously been linked to resistance to radiotherapy and chemotherapy, and more recently to immunotherapy. …”

Sequential phreatomagmatic eruptions during the lateral propagation of giant dyke swarms by Pryce, E, Cartwright, J, Kirkham, C, Phillips, D

“…The well data allow us to exclude crater forming mechanisms based on collapse into a void, but are consistent with those linked to phreatomagmatic eruption. We propose that the rapid cooling of dyke magma during the phreatomagmatic eruptive process was an important contributory factor in the upward arrest of dyke propagation, preventing surface extrusion and hence promoting lateral propagation.…”
