A solution is developed for the build-up, steady and post-arrest dissipative pore fluid pressure fields that develop around a blunt penetrometer that self-embeds from freefall into the seabed. Arrest from freefall considers deceleration under undrained conditions in a purely cohesive soil, with constant shear strength with depth. The resulting decelerating velocity field is controlled by soil s...

Novel advanced spray-dried and co-spray-dried inhalable lung surfactant-mimic phospholipid and poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG)ylated lipopolymers as microparticulate/nanoparticulate dry powders of biodegradable biocompatible lipopolymers were rationally formulated via an organic solution advanced spray-drying process in closed mode using various phospholipid formulations and rationally chosen spray...

Liquid fuel dispersion in practical systems is typically achieved by spraying the fuel into a polydisperse distribution of droplets evaporating and burning in a turbulent gaseous environment In view of the nearly insurmountable difficulties of this two-phase flow, a systematic study of spray evaporation and burning in configurations of gradually increasing levels of complexity, starting from la...

OBJECTIVE To examine the effectiveness of lidocaine spray compared with conventional lidocaine submucosal injection during a loop electrosurgical excision procedure (LEEP). METHODS Women undergoing LEEP for any degrees of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia were invited to participate. The participants were randomly assigned into two groups. In group 1 (injection), the participants were anesth...

For linear light scattering in apertureless scanning near-field optical microscopy, we have studied the correlations between the tip radius of the probe, signal strength, spatial resolution, and sample material. Pronounced variations of the near-field distance dependence on tip shape and dielectric function of the sample are observed. For very sharp metal tips, the scattered near-field signal d...

The coupling of Eulerian and Lagrangian methods in the Eulerian–Lagrangian Spray Atomization (ELSA) approach is critical. This study proposes an equation for primary breakup particle diameter D a diesel fuel spray adopts it as key transition criterion coupling. A three-dimensional modeled by large-eddy simulation (LES) approach. improved ELSA was conducted using various criteria Dcr. results sh...
