The relationship between the intragastric distribution, dilution, and emptying of meals and satiety was studied using noninvasive magnetic resonance imaging techniques in 12 healthy subjects with four polysaccharide test meals of varying viscosity and nutrient content as follows: 1) low-viscosity nonnutrient, 2) low-viscosity nutrient, 3) high-viscosity nonnutrient, and 4) high-viscosity nutrie...

Flow rate versus viscosity Another major difference between the pump types is the effect viscosity has on the capacity of the pump. You will notice in the flow r loses flow as the viscosity goes up but the PD pump’s flow actually increases. This is because the higher viscosity liquids fill the clearances of the pump causing a higher volumetric efficiency. Remember, this chart shows effect of vi...

When time reversal is broken the viscosity tensor can have a non vanishing odd part. In two dimensions, and only then, such odd viscosity is compatible with isotropy. Allowing for odd viscosity leads to a generalization of the wave and Navier-Stokes equations. Elementary features of odd viscosity are examined by considering solutions of these equations for hypothetical fluids where the stress i...

Kubo's formula relates bulk viscosity to the retarded Green's function of the trace of the energy-momentum tensor. Using low energy theorems of QCD for the latter we derive the formula which relates the bulk viscosity to the energy density and pressure of hot matter. We then employ the available lattice QCD data to extract the bulk viscosity as a function of temperature. We find that close to t...

background: we aimed to compare the effect of albumin 5% in half normal saline (half ns) versus normal saline (ns) infusion on the plasma viscosity in the near-normal physiological condition. according to the high oncotic pressure of albumin along with prolonged half-life of its molecules in comparison to ns in the intra-vascular compartment, it has been proposed that a more significant reducti...

This paper is devoted to the study of the maximum principle for the elliptic equation with a deviated argument. We will consider viscosity solutions of this equation.

The behavior of a number of motile flagellated bacteria toward viscosity characteristics of their fluid environments was observed. All showed an increase in velocity (micrometers per second) in more viscous solutions. Velocity reached a maximum at a characteristic value, however, and thereafter decreased with higher viscosities. Peritrichously flagellated bacteria had maximum velocities at high...

In this paper, we investigate the controlled systems described by forward-backward stochastic differential equations with the control contained in drift, diffusion and generator of BSDEs. A new verification theorem is derived within the framework of viscosity solutions without involving any derivatives of the value functions. It is worth to pointing out that this theorem has wider applicability...

Given a Carnot-Carathéodory metric space (R, dcc) generated by vector fields {Xi} m i=1 satisfying Hörmander’s condition, we prove in theorem A that any absolute minimizer u ∈ W 1,∞ cc (Ω) to F (v,Ω) = supx∈Ω f(x,Xv(x)) is a viscosity solution to the Aronsson equation (1.6), under suitable conditions on f . In particular, any AMLE is a viscosity solution to the subelliptic ∞-Laplacian equation ...
