This issue opens an inquiry into the tension between solidity and fluidity. is ingrained in Western intellectual tradition informs theoretical debates across sciences humanities. In physics, solid one phase of matter, alongside liquid, gas plasma. This, however, assumes all matter to be particulate. Reversing relation statics dynamics, we argue contrary, that exists as continuous flux. It both ...

BACKGROUND Exposomics is the cutting-edge concept of screening the environmental risk factors for disease. In the novel "top-down" approach, we estimate the molecular exposome by measuring all body fluid analytes in a case-controlled study. However, to detect diverse pollutants, a sufficient sample size and multiple analytical methods are required. This may lead to dramatically increased costs ...

In this paper some saturation properties of silicone oil-based magnetorheological fluids in mechanical engineering were researched and discussed by theoretical analysis and experiments. Firstly, experiment materials and preparation process of silicone oil-based magnetorheological fluids were presented. Secondly, magnetic-field saturation, particles saturation and added nano-particles saturation...

We report the successful preparation of solvent-free metal nanoparticle (NP) fluids with multiple-functionalities, such as rheological properties, magnetism, ionic conductivity, and electrical properties, allowing for facile synthesis and mass production. The gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) used in this study were synthesized using tetraoctylammonium bromide (TOABr) in toluene and then directly phas...

The synovial fluids of patients with a destructive form of osteoarthritis (DOA) were shown to contain high levels of bone resorbing activity as judged by the ability of the fluid to stimulate the release of 45Ca from labelled cultured mouse calvariae. The activity was lost on extended storage of the synovial fluids and was dependent for its effect on cellular activity in bone. Bone resorbing ac...
