The shear viscosity of a two-dimensional liquid-state dusty plasma was measured experimentally. A monolayer of highly charged polymer microspheres, with a Yukawa interaction, was suspended in a plasma sheath. Two counterpropagating Ar+ laser beams pushed the particles, causing shear-induced melting of the monolayer and a shear flow in a planar Couette configuration. By fitting the particle velo...

The effect of heparin on thrombogenesis induced by the subendothelium of rabbit aorta was investigated in 24 healthy volunteers after intravenous injection of different doses (0, 1000, 2500, and 5000 IU). By using an ex vivo perfusion chamber system, the interaction between flowing blood and exposed subendothelium was measured at low (50 s-1), intermediate (650 s-1), and high (2600 s-1) wall sh...

Simple, accurate buckling interaction formulae are presented for long orthotropic plates with either simply supported or clamped longitudinal edges and under combined loading that are suitable for design studies. The loads include 1) combined uniaxial compression (or tension) and shear, 2) combined pure inplane bending and 3) shear and combined uniaxial compression (or tension) and pure inplane...

Data association is important in the point cloud registration. In this work, we propose to solve partial-to-partial registration from a new perspective, by introducing multi-level feature interactions between source and reference clouds at extraction stage, such that can be realized without attentions or explicit mask estimation for overlapping detection as adopted previously. Specifically, pre...
