Sphingolipid metabolism was examined in guinea-pig airway smooth muscle cells stimulated by platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) and 4β-phorbol 12- myristate 13-acetate (PMA), as mitogens and bradykinin (BK) as non-mitogen. Stimulation of the cells by PMA and PDGF for 60 min. at 37°C induced the following changes in sphingolipid metabolites: in cells prelabeled with PH] palmitate, a 1.2 f...

The importance of the study blood flow equations is widely recognized as it a tool to understand circulatory system. Arteries and veins result have both elastic viscous behaviour. Models for first case are much more studied they be simpler still satisfying if compared experimental data. In this paper, we consider model which encompasses viscoelastic response in arterial walls, respectively lead...

In this paper, stable and “low-diffusive” multidimensional interface capturing (IC) schemes using slope limiters are discussed. It is known that direction-by-direction slope-limited MUSCL schemes create geometrical artefacts and thus return a poor accuracy. We here focus on this particular issue and show that the reconstruction of gradient directions are an important factor of accuracy. The use...

به کارگیری روش رؤ در حل معادلات هیدرودینامیک مغناطیسی اگرچه باعث کاهش لزجت حل عددی و افزایش دقت آن می شود، اما با افزایش نسبت مجذور جریان تخلیه الکتریکی به دبی جرمی ورودی( ) در رانشگرهای پلاسمایی مغناطیسی که با وقوع انبساط های قوی در نوک الکترودها همراه است، به حل غیرفیزیکی منجر می گردد. برای رفع این مشکل، استفاده از یک الگوریتم ریمانی ترکیبی مدنظر قرار گرفته است. در این الگوریتم با جایگزینی رو...

A numerical study on mixing of hydrogen injected transversely into a supersonic air stream has been performed by solving Two-Dimensional full Navier-Stokes equations. An explicit Harten-Yee Non-MUSCL Modified-flux-type TVD scheme has been used to solve the system of equations, and a zero-equation algebraic turbulence model to calculate the eddy viscosity coefficient. The main objectives of this...

A computationally efficient, high-resolution numerical model of shallow flow hydrodynamics is described, based on boundary-fitted adaptive quadtree grids. The numerical model solves the two-dimensional non-linear shallow water equations by means of an explicit second-order MUSCL-Hancock Godunov-type finite volume scheme. Interface fluxes are evaluated using an HLLC approximate Riemann solver. T...

The maximum activities of 6-phosphofructokinase and oxoglutarate dehydrogenase in muscle provide quantitative indices of the maximum capacities of anaerobic g lycolys is and the Krebs cyc le ( i .e . the aerobic capacity) respectively. These activities were measured in red, whit% and cardiac muscle of bird~ and the rat. The a c t i v i t i e s in the white pectoral muscle of the domes t i c fow...

A Finite Volume method based on Characteristic Fluxes for compressible fluids is developed. An explicit cell-centered resolution is adopted, where second and third order accuracy is provided by using two different MUSCL schemes with Minmod, Sweby or Superbee limiters for the hyperbolic part. Few different times integrator is used and be describe in this paper. Resolution is performed on a gener...

Aims. In this paper, we present a new method to perform numerical simulations of astrophysical MHD flows using the Adaptive Mesh Refinement framework and Constrained Transport. Methods. The algorithm is based on a previous work in which the MUSCL–Hancock scheme was used to evolve the induction equation. In this paper, we detail the extension of this scheme to the full MHD equations and discuss ...
