The purpose of this study was to determine the concentration polarization of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) at the surface of the carotid artery under conditions of steady flow and to establish its relationship with shear stress using an in vitro vascular simulation model of carotid bifurcation. Shear stress, HDL concentration at the surface, and the ratio of HDL concentration at the surface to...

Published by the IEEE Computer Society 0018-9162/10/$26.00 © 2010 IEEE Instrumentation is one tool for collecting the information needed to understand programs. Instrumentationbased tools typically insert extra code into a program to record events during execution.1-4 The cost of executing the extra code can be as low as a few cycles, enabling fine-grained observation down to the instruction le...

It is shown how the Zak transform can be used to find nontrivial examples of functions f, g E L 2 ( 2 ) with f . g = 0 = F . C, where F, G are the Fourier transforms of f, g, respectively. This is then used to exhibit a nontrivial pair of functions h, keL2(T1), h # k, such that I h I = 1 k 1 , I H I = I K 1 . A similar construction is used to find an abundance of nontrivial pairs of functions h...

The paper presents the results of a calculation aimed to study influence ionizing, bremsstrahlung radiation on operation nanosatellite obtained during implementation project 0777-2020-0018 in 2020. A comparative analysis calculating specific ionization and energy losses protons (from 0.1 400 MeV) electrons 0.04 7 MeV), as well their path lengths aluminum according formulas various authors datab...

This study introduces a Vorticity Index (VI) and an Imminent Vortex Separation Condition (IVSC), which are considered valuable indicators to quantify the vorticity impact on vertical axis wind turbines (VAWTs) operation. The VI IVSC specifically applied H-Darrieus turbine (VAWT). Findings show that these two parameters display direct relationship with aerodynamic forces govern performance of th...

Abstract Hericium is a well-known genus that comprises edible and medicinal mushrooms with fleshy, distinctive white spines hang from tough, unbranched clump, grows on dying or dead wood. In preparation for the artificial cultivation of these in Thailand, an optimization mycelial growth different agar culture media, various conditions (including temperature, pH, cereal grains, agricultural wast...
