the effects of some synthetic sweeteners on the rheological and physical properties of guar gum in dilute solutions were investigated.measurements include the determination of intrinsic viscosity and the particle size, surface weighted mean [d3, 2], volume weighted mean [d4,3] and specificsurface area ofguar gum andsyntheticsweeteners mixtures. the concentration of these sweeteners were 0, 0.1,...

The nonhomogeneous gas or fluid flowing through a nonhomogeneous porous medium is studied. An interesting phenomenon is discussed which shows that the state of the flow is not affected by the surrounding environment if some hypotheses are made on the porosity of the gas, the viscosity, and the permeability of the medium. Such a state is called an isolated environment. The conditions under which...

We present transport calculations for heavy ion reactions in which the mean field and the in-medium nucleon-nucleon cross section are consistently based on the same effective interaction, i.e. the in-medium T-matrix from microscopic Dirac-Brueckner calculations. Doing so, the stopping in central reactions in terms of the recently proposed vartl observable and the correlation to the behavior of ...

BACKGROUND Blood stasis has received increasing attention in research related to traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) and integrative Chinese and Western medicine. More than 90% of research studies use hemorheology indexes to evaluate the establishment of animal blood stasis models rather than pathological methods, as hemorheology index evaluations of blood stasis were short of the consolidated s...

Background and purpose - Stability and survival of cemented total hip prostheses is dependent on a multitude of factors, including the type of cement that is used. Bone cements vary in viscosity, from low to medium and high. There have been few clinical RSA studies comparing the performance of low- and high-viscosity bone cements. We compared the migration behavior of the Stanmore hip stem ceme...

This paper deals with an experimental description of the acoustic behaviour of non-consolidated granular materials submitted to static force. The aim of this work is to investigate the effect of a small amount of an interstitial fluid on the acoustic propagation. Measurements of the velocity and of the transmission of the coherent wave are performed for different values of the applied force. It...

this research was performed to study the effect of murray red gum tree age (4, 6, 8 years) on the chemical components, viscosity and the cellulose degree of polymerization. the eucalyptus trees were cut at the ages of 4, 6, and 8 from hand planted forests. the contents of cellulose, hemicellulose, lignin, extractives and ash for each age were then determined. the results show that with increasi...

While the time dependence of the friction on a tagged particle in a dense liquid has been investigated in great detail, a similar analysis for the viscosity of the medium and the interrelationship between the two has not been carried out. This is despite the close relation always assumed, both in theoretical and experimental studies, between friction and viscosity. In this article a detailed st...
