Superfluid fountain effect in a Bose-Einstein condensate by Karpiuk, Tomasz, Grémaud, Benoît, Miniatura, Christian, Gajda, Mariusz

“…We show that the superfluid component can easily flow from the colder vessel to the hotter one while the normal component is practically blocked in the latter. In the long-time limit, the superfluid component exhibits periodic oscillations reminiscent of the ac Josephson effect obtained in superfluid weak-link experiments.…”

Thermomechanical coupling during large strain deformation of polycarbonate: experimental study by Song, P, Chapman, D, Graham, A, Trivedi, A, Siviour, C

“…Compression experiments are performed using a screwdriven machine, a hydraulic machine, and a long split Hopkinson bar, all instrumented with a high-speed infrared camera to measure temperature rises at strain rates between 0.01 and 2600 s-1 at a starting temperature around 20 °C. …”

Identification and characterisation of the haematopoietic stem/progenitor cells at risk for leukaemia development following radiation exposure by Verbiest, T

“…We report here, for the first time, that allogeneic haematopoietic stem cells can compete for niches in the nonmyeloablated NSG bone marrow compartment and that the nonmyeloablated NSG bone marrow microenvironment is capable of supporting allogeneic long-term HSC engraftment and differentiation. Using this NSG transplantation model, we then provided evidence of a reduced contribution of low dose irradiated HSCs towards longterm haematopoiesis. …”
