colleagues [1] reported a multicenter cohort study that showed pulmonary vascular permeability index (PVPI) to be a practical diagnostic parameter to recognize acute lung injury/acute respiratory distress syndrome (ALI/ ARDS) in pulmonary edema. Th eir study deserves to be appreciated. Th e transpulmonary thermodilution technique allows an accurate bedside estimation of increased pulmonary vasc...

Motivated by recent trends in spin coating operations chemical engineering which are exploiting nanomaterials, the present article investigates theoretically and numerically steady mass heat transfer von Karman swirling slip flow of a nanofluid from rotating disk touching to homogenous non-Darcy porous medium. The medium is simulated with Darcy–Forchheimer–Brinkman model. To track thermophoresi...

To maximize the usefulness of groundwater flow models for protection aquifers and abstraction wells, it is necessary to identify decrease uncertainty associated with major parameters such as permeability. do this, there a need develop set estimates representing subsurface heterogeneity or representative soil permeability estimates. Here, we use coupled Random Field extended Theory Porous Media ...

The problem of the resistive wall mode (RWM) is studied in cylindrical geometry and compared to experimental observations from HBT-EP tokamak. In HBT-EP, a dynamical RWM plasma response is studied by applying static, rotating and phase-flip external magnetic perturbations. The plasma response to the applied perturbation is included via the permeability matrix, P = 1/(−s+iα). Here, s is the norm...

Accurate characterization and modeling of subsurface flow in multi-fluid soil systems require development of a rapid, reproducible experimental method that yields the information necessary to determine the parameters of the capillary pressure–saturation and permeability functions. Previous work has demonstrated that parameter optimization using inverse modeling is a powerful approach to indirec...

One the one hand, capillary permeability to water is a well-defined concept in microvascular physiology, and linearly relates the net convective or diffusive mass fluxes (by unit area) to the differences in pressure or concentration, respectively, that drive them through the vessel wall. On the other hand, the permeability coefficient is a central parameter introduced when modeling diffusible t...

PURPOSE Phorbol esters have been shown to have a profound influence on cellular activity in many cell types. The purpose of this study was to examine the influence of phorbol esters on the function and structure of corneal endothelial cells. METHODS Corneas were placed under a specular microscope, and the endothelium was superfused with glutathione bicarbonate Ringer's solution (GBR); with GB...

Abstract. Mineral dissolution and precipitation can substantially affect rock permeability, which is a critical parameter for broad range of geological subsurface applications. Virtual experiments on digital pore-scale samples represent powerful flexible approach to understand the impact microstructural alterations evolving hydraulic behaviour quantify trends in permeability. In present study, ...

Permeability is a crucial parameter for enhancing shale oil recovery through CO2 injection in oil-bearing shale. After injected into the reservoir, corrosion and adsorption-induced strain can change permeability of shale, affecting oil. This study aimed to explore influence on The deformation internal pore diameter induced by under different pressures was measured low-pressure nitrogen gas adso...
