[1] We used a two-dimensional coupled heat and fluid flow model to investigate large-scale, lateral heat and fluid transport on the eastern flank of the Juan de Fuca Ridge. Cool seawater in the natural system is inferred to enter basement where it is exposed close to the spreading center and flow laterally beneath thick sediments, causing seafloor heat flow to be depressed relative to that inpu...

In nature, fish have the ability to form flow-based maps to assist localizing predator or prey using the lateral-line system. Yet it is not fully understood what techniques are used by fish to draw these flow maps. Biologists try to figure out fish techniques by investigating different hypotheses [1]. Inspired by the lateral line of fish, we propose in this paper model based array signal proces...

Wearable lateral flow assay (LFA) devices in the point-of-care (POC) diagnosis are an emerging technology due to their ease of use, affordability, and robustness. Recent advances wearable allow rapid self-diagnosis using colorimetry. Visual readouts LFA strips often lead inaccurate readout different lighting conditions. Smartphone-based increasingly popular among POC platforms. Myriad challenge...

Introduction: The measurement of glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) is an established procedure in evaluating long-term glycemic control diabetic patients. There are many factors like temperature, pH, lifespan protein, substrate concentrations and levels that influence HbA1c estimation by any methods. aim the study to estimate High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) immunochromatography analyzer...

A total of 50 healthy volunteers aged between 18 and 54 years underwent phase-contrast cine MRI to assess cerebrospinal fluid flow characteristics in different regions of the vertebral canal. The results revealed that the cerebrospinal fluid peak flow velocity and peak flow rate in the systolic phase were significantly greater than those in the diastolic phase at the same level in the subarachn...

The mechanoreceptive lateral line system detects hydrodynamic stimuli and plays an important role in a number of types of fish behaviour, including orientation to water currents. The lateral line is composed of hair cell receptor organs called neuromasts that occur as superficial neuromasts on the surface of the skin or canal neuromasts located in subepidermal canals. Both are innervated by pri...

Early experiments with overlapping cuts to the stems of trees demonstrated that lateral flow within the stem must be possible to allow such trees to maintain water flow to their leaves. We present a mathematical approach to considering lateral flow in stems by treating the xylem as an anisotropic medium for flow and develop an expression of its conductivity in the form of a tensor. In both 3D m...
