In this paper, experimental data and numerical results of heat transfer from a heated rotating disk in still air are presented over a large range of inclination angles and a dimensionless correlation is developed for forced, natural and mixed convection. The measured Nusselt number over the rotating disk is compared with the numerical results. The goal of the present research is to develop a se...

In this paper, an analytical solution for computing the plastic & linear plastic stresses and critical angular velocity in a FGM hollow & solid rotating disk is developed. It has been assumed that the modulus of elasticity and yield strength were varying through thickness of the FGM material according to a power law relationship. The Poisson's ratio were considered constant throughout the thick...

SUPERFICIAL ocular infections, for example blepharitis, are better treated by local applications than by systemic therapy. Local applications of antibiotic and chemotherapeutic agents are also of value in reducing the incidence of infection after corneal injury. Sulphacetamide is most commonly used but, although its value in the prevention of corneal infection is well established (Cameron, 1949...

The incidence of multidrug-resistant (MDR) organisms, including methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), is a serious threat to public health. Progress in developing new therapeutics is being outpaced by antibiotic resistance development, and alternative agents that rapidly permeabilize bacteria hold tremendous potential for treating MDR infections. A new class of glycopolymers inclu...

The vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) has been located in various structures of the rat brain, but few actions of the peptide have been reported as yet. Because VIP might interact with classical neurotransmitter systems in the central nervous system as it does in the periphery, we investigated whether VIP can modulate serotonin (5-HT1) receptors in membrane preparations obtained from brain ar...
