Slug flow is widely encountered in oil and gas systems. It has an unsteady hydrodynamic behavior that motivated the development of mechanistic models to better understand quantify parameters flow. The present work investigated several slug conditions through experimental campaign was performed a 2-in ID horizontal pipe facility. data were statistically analyzed they indicated suitability lognor...

PURPOSE In a previous genome-wide gene expression profiling analysis using an invasion cancer cell lines model, we have identified Slug as selectively overexpressed in the highly invasive cancer cells. Here, we investigated the clinical significance of Slug in lung adenocarcinoma and the role of Slug in the process of cancer cell invasion and metastasis. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN Real-time quantita...

A test facility to investigate flow pattern transitions of vertical two-phase CO 2 has been built within the scope high-luminosity detector upgrades at European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN). Adiabatic observations both up- and downflow are recorded with high-speed imaging in tubes 8 mm inner diameter, saturation temperatures range ? 25 ° C + 5 mass velocities ranging from 100 kg m s...

Wire-mesh sensors are flow imaging devices which produce three-dimensional data of void fraction distribution at high resolution thus being an appropriate tool to investigate two-phase gas-liquid flows. Slug flow is typically found in petroleum production lines. This type of flow is characterized by the intermittent occurrence of gas bubbles and liquid slugs along the pipe. An important issue o...

slug (snai2), a regulator of epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (emt), is a zinc finger transcription factor involved in neurulation. intriguingly, snai2 gene expression has been linked to the aggressiveness of neuroblastoma, melanoma and lung, colon, ovarian and breast carcinoma. of note, many metastatic cancers recapitulate emt to enhance cell motility and invasion. moreover, metastasis is ...

OBJECTIVES This study explored the expression and function of Slug in human extrahepatic hilar cholangiocarcinoma (EHC) to identify its role in tumor progression. METHODS The expression of Snail and Slug mRNA in 52 human tissue samples of EHC was investigated. The mRNA of Snail and Slug were quantified using reverse transcriptase-PCR, and correlations with E-cadherin expression and clinicopat...
