The presence of lymph node (LN)-like vasculature in tumours, characterized by expression of peripheral node addressin and chemokine CCL21, is correlated with T-cell infiltration and positive prognosis in breast cancer and melanoma patients. However, mechanisms controlling the development of LN-like vasculature and how it might contribute to a beneficial outcome for cancer patients are unknown. ...

introduction: inferior mandibular bolck anesthesia, some time causes postoperative lip and tongue biting trauma, however, an infiltration injection with a limited anesthetized area, has less complications. the aim of present study is to compare of two techniques (block and infiltration) for class i restorative treatment in primary second molars. methods and materials: fourty children between 5-...

In dentin restoration, collagen fiber network infiltration is an issue. Using data from the litterature, we have constructed a relevant numerical geometrical model of the network. The specificity of our model is that the fibers are taken into account implicitly using a regularized Heaviside function. This function is either used to set the viscosity or to localize the contact line where capilla...

Rainfall-runoff transformation on urban catchments involves physical processes governing runoff production in areas (e.g., interception, evaporation, depression, infiltration). Some previous 1D/2D coupled models do not include these processes. Adequate representation of rainfall–runoff–infiltration within a dual drainage model is still needed for practical applications. In this paper we propose...

soil hydrau-physical data are important for many hydrological modelings. they are the main variables controllingthe key processes such as water and chemicals movement and transport in the soil profiles. this study was conductedin order to analyze the spatial distribution of selected soil hydrau-physcial characteristics including infiltration rate(ir), saturated hydraulic conductivity (ks), bulk...

the aim of this research was to study the wear behavior of 42crmo4 steel/zro2 composite with 10 and 30 ppi performed ceramic and compare it with the un-reinforced steel under different applied loads. the composite specimens were obtained by pressureless infiltration of the melt into a preformed ceramic of zirconium oxide. the effect of applied load on the specimens wear behavior was studied by ...

the purpose of this work was to test the efficiency of the treatment of wastewater by infiltrationunder laboratory conditions, to remove bacterial and organic load and to convert it to available nutrient for crop plants. in order to achieve this objective, polyvinyl chloride (pvc) columns of 133 cm of height were used. the columns were filled with sand and/or pozzolana and loaded with municipal...
