Alcohol septal ablation for hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy: do mitral valve leaflet length, septal thickness, or sex affect the outcome? by Mustafic, Mesud, Jandér, Rebecka, Marlevi, David, Rickenlund, Anette, Rück, Andreas, Saleh, Nawzad, Abdi, Sam, Eriksson, Maria J., Damlin, Anna

“…Anatomical and hemodynamic parameters were collected from invasive catheterization before and during ASA, and from echocardiography (ECHO) examinations before, during, and at 1-year follow-up after ASA. Linear and logistic regression models were used to assess the association between sex, BSWT, AML, PML, and outcome, which was defined as the remaining LVOTO (≥ 30 mmHg) after ASA. …”

First record of multi-species synchronous coral spawning from Malaysia by Chelliah, Alvin, Amar, Halimi Bin, Hyde, Julian, Yewdall, Katie, Guest, James R., Steinberg, Peter David

“…While two of the Acropora species that reproduced in April (A. millepora and A. nasuta) exhibited highly synchronous spawning (100% of sampled colonies), two other common species (A. hyacinthus and A. digitifera) did not contain visible eggs in the majority of colonies sampled (i.e., <15% of colonies) in either April or October, suggesting that these species spawn at other times of the year. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first detailed documented observation of multi-species coral spawning from reefs in Malaysia. …”

Simulation of train induced forced wind draft for generating electrical power from Vertical Axis Wind Turbine (VAWT) by Chilugodu, Nikhita, Yoon, Yong-Jin, Chua, Kah Soon, Datta, Dhruv, Baek, Jong Dae, Park, Taezoon, Park, Woo-Tae

“…From the movement of MRT trains, the energy that can be harvested from wind using a 2kW vertical axis wind turbine is calculated as 600,000 W/year. Based on simulation, with a 5 meter increase in the height of the turbine, the efficiency of power generation increases by 0.2 percent.…”

Methane precipitation in ice giant atmospheres by Toledo, D, Rannou, P, Irwin, PG, de Batz de Trenquelléon, B, Roman, M, Apestigue, V, Arruego, I, Yela, M

“…</strong> Our simulations show cloud bases close to 1.24 bars in Uranus and 1.64 bars in Neptune, with droplets up to 100 µm causing high settling velocities and precipitation rates (∼370 mm per Earth year). The high settling velocities limit the total cloud opacity, yielding values at 0.8 µm of ∼0.19 for Uranus and ∼0.35 for Neptune, using Keddy = 0.5 m2 s−1 and a deep methane mole fraction (μCH4) of 0.04. …”
