TL;DR: In this article, the authors studied the wake of a finite circular cylinder of small aspect ratio with a seven-hole probe and thermal anemometry, which was mounted normal to a ground plane and was partially immersed in a turbulent boundary layer.
Abstract: The wake of a finite circular cylinder of small aspect ratio was studied with a seven-hole probe and thermal anemometry. The cylinder was mounted normal to a ground plane and was partially immersed in a turbulent boundary layer. The time-averaged velocity and streamwise vorticity fields showed the development of the tip vortex structures, the extent of the near-wake recirculation zone, the downwash phenomenon and base vortex structures within the boundary layer. The wake structure and power spectra were similar for cylinder aspect ratios of 5 to 9, but a distinctly different behaviour was observed for an aspect ratio of 3.

TL;DR: In this article, an inverse scattering approach for computing n-peakon solutions of the Degasperis-Procesi equation (a modification of the Camassa-Holm (CH) shallow water equation) is presented.
Abstract: We present an inverse scattering approach for computing n-peakon solutions of the Degasperis-Procesi equation (a modification of the Camassa-Holm (CH) shallow water equation) The associated non-self-adjoint spectral problem is shown to be amenable to analysis using the isospectral deformations induced from the n-peakon solution, and the inverse problem is solved by a method generalizing the continued fraction solution of the peakon sector of the CH equation

TL;DR: The study of primary cultures of mouse astrocytes suggests that the formation of α‐ketoglutarate from glutamate represents a net degradation, not an isotopic exchange, as well as indicating that the Formation of α-ketoglUTarate occurs as an oxidative deamination rather than as a transamination.
Abstract: The metabolic fate of L-[U-14C]- and L-[1-14C]glutamate was studied in primary cultures of mouse astrocytes. Conversion of the uniformly labeled compound to glutamine and aspartate was followed by determination of specific activities after dansylation with [3H]dansyl chloride and subsequent thin layer chromatography of the dansylated amino acids. Metabolic fluxes were calculated from the alterations of specific activities and the pool sizes, which were likewise measured by a dansylation method. Formation of 14CO2 from [1-14C]glutamate was determined by the trapping of CO2 in hyamine hydroxide in a gas-tight chamber, which is, in the known absence of glutamate decarboxylase activity in the cultured astrocytes, an unequivocal expression of the metabolic flux via alpha-ketoglutarate to CO2 and succinyl-CoA. The metabolic fluxes determined by these procedures amounted to 2.4 nmol/min/mg protein for glutamine synthesis, 1.1 nmol/min/mg protein for aspartate production, and 4.1 nmol/min/mg protein for formation and subsequent decarboxylation of alpha-ketoglutarate. The latter process was unaffected by virtually complete inhibition of glutamate-oxaloacetic transaminase with aminooxyacetic acid, indicating that the formation of alpha-ketoglutarate occurs as an oxidative deamination rather than as a transamination. This suggests that the formation of alpha-ketoglutarate from glutamate represents a net degradation, not an isotopic exchange.
