Earth Internal-Mountain Water Model Release: Water can Flow Upwards

Experimental Investigation of Surface Roughness Effect on Flow Boiling in Internal Combustion Engine Water Jacket

The subjects of heat transfer and cooling system are very important topics in the Internal Combustion Engines (ICE). In modern cooling systems, low weight, small size and high compactness are the critical designing criteria that requires heat transfer enhancement. Boiling phenomenon which is occurred in the water jacket of the ICE is one of the methods to increase heat transfer in the coolant s...

Harbor Seals (Phoca vitulina) Can Perceive Optic Flow under Water

Optic flow, the pattern of apparent motion elicited on the retina during movement, has been demonstrated to be widely used by animals living in the aerial habitat, whereas underwater optic flow has not been intensively studied so far. However optic flow would also provide aquatic animals with valuable information about their own movement relative to the environment; even under conditions in whi...

Transcellular Water Flow Modulates Water Channel Exocytosis

Introduction The regulation of osmotic water permeability (Pf) by vasopressin (VP) in kidney collecting tubule involves the exocytic-endocytic trafficking of vesicles containing water channels between an intracellular compartment and apical plasma membrane. To examine effects of transcellular water flow on vesicle movement, Pf was measured with 1-s time resolution in the isolated perfused rabbi...

Oil and water: a two-type internal aggregation model

We introduce a two-type internal DLA model which is an example of a nonunary abelian network. Starting with n “oil” and n “water” particles at the origin, the particles diffuse in Z according to the following rule: whenever some site x ∈ Z has at least 1 oil and at least 1 water particle present, it fires by sending 1 oil particle and 1 water particle each to an independent random neighbor x ± ...
