The current version has also benefited greatly from extended discussion with James Webster, Stephanie Edgerly and Edward Malthouse. We are very grateful for the detailed and constructive feedback from the anonymous reviewers. Finally, we would like to acknowledge the terrific editorial support and direction...

It has recently been shown that aqueous humor is able to obstruct flow through Nuclepore polycarbonate filters having flow dimensions similar to those found in the juxtacanalicular tissue (JCT). We undertook studies designed to identify the component(s) of aqueous humor responsible for this obstruction and to determine the mechanism of blockage. We conclude that aqueous humor contains two compo...

An experimental study on the effects of various factors(fin spacing, fin arrangement, air temperature, air humidity, and air velocity) on the frost growth and thermal performance of a finned-tube heat exchanger has been conducted under the frosting condition. It is found that the thermal performance of a heat exchanger is closely related to the blockage ratio of air flow passage due to the fros...

introduction: lower limb surgeries are commonly done by using general anesthesia, regional anesthesia and blockade nerve. patients who are exposed to danger such as cardiovascular and cardiopulmonary patients and hemodynamic instability, for reducing complications in below knee surgery, can use lower limb blockage nerve in popliteal region which is a safe method. materials & methods: in this ex...

Nozzle sprays are used in wide range of application. The nozzle application is depend on the spray characteristics, by which to suit particular This project studies effect air blockage ratio characteristics. research conducted into two part experimental and simulation section. was using particle image velocimetry (PIV) method, ANSYS software as tools for There nozzles were tested at 1 bar press...
