Murine cardiac function: a cautionary tail.

The capacity to selectively mutate genes or create excessive or deleted gene expression in mice has yielded a powerful new approach to structure-function studies of cardiac proteins and their role in heart disease. As it happened, the molecular techniques required to generate such animals developed more rapidly than did the methods for studying the chamber physiological phenotype. Mainly becaus...

Contact-line motion of shear-thinning liquids

It is demonstrated that, for the slow advance of a viscous liquid onto a previously dry substrate, the well-known moving contact line paradox is alleviated for liquids exhibiting power-law shear-thinning behavior. In contrast to previous models that allow contact-line motion, it is no longer necessary to abandon the no-slip condition at the substrate in the vicinity of’the contact point. While ...

Turbulent pipe flow of shear-thinning fluids

Direct numerical simulation of the weakly turbulent flow of non-Newtonian fluids is undertaken for two different generalised Newtonian rheology models using a spectral element-Fourier method. Results for a power law (shear-thinning) rheology agree well with experimentally determined logarithmic layer correlations and with other previously published experimental work. As the flow index becomes s...
