Spatially Varied Flow Profiles in a V-Shaped Side-Channel

Flow Seals Parameters Analysis For Rotors

The interaction of work fluid mechanics with that of the rotary system itself, basically composed of axes, bearings and rotors, is performed by inserting equivalent dynamic coefficients in the mathematical model of the rotor, the latter being obtained by the finite element method. In this paper, the dynamic coefficients of inertia, stiffness and damping of the flat seals analyzed here are evalu...

Partition of coronary flow and cardiac oxygen extraction between coronary sinus and other coronary drainage channels.

• Coronary flow measurements in the intact animal and in man have been based principally on the amount of the coronary sinus drainage. Two assumptions are involved in the use of the coronary sinus drainage as an index of total and of left ventricular coronary flow: (1) The coronary sinus flow is a fixed percentage of total coronary flow, and (2) it represents all or a constant portion of the ve...

Linear Coding for Fading Channels

We consider the linear coding of a memoryless Gaussian source transmitted through a discrete memoryless fading channel with additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN). The goal is to minimize the mean squared error (MSE) of the source reconstruction at the destination while there is average power constraint imposed on the channel input symbols. We show that among all singleletter codes, linear coding...

Fibronectin in human trabecular drainage channels.

Fibronectin, an extracellular glycoprotein, has been shown to be produced by human trabecular cells in culture by our group as well as Polansky and co-investigators. Studies of Rodrigues et al suggested that fibronectin may be one of several glycoproteins found in increased amounts in the corneoscleral trabecular meshwork of glaucomatous eyes. The authors have developed a sensitive immunoassay ...
