The present work numerically simulates the flow of a single isolated liquid plug (of glycerine and water, respectively) flowing in a round capillary tube (ID = 2.0 mm), to understand its local thermal transport behavior. When an isolated liquid plug moves in a capillary tube there is a difference in the advancing and receding dynamic contact angles of the two menisci, respectively. This has bee...

objective(s): previous studies showed that skeletal muscle microcirculation was reduced in chronic heart failure. the aim of this study was to investigate the effects of endurance training on capillary and arteriolar density of fast and slow twitch muscles in rats with chronic heart failure. materials and methods: four weeks after surgeries (left anterior descending (lad) artery occlusion), chr...

block heights and capillary continuity between matrix blocks play paramount role in the sensitivity analysis and therefore the history matching of cumulative oil production and production rate of carbonated fractured reservoirs. in this study, the influence of these parameters upon cumulative production and recovery factor of an iranian fractured reservoir were studied by the usage of a simulat...

pyogenic granuloma (pg) is a reactive inflammatory hyperplastic oral lesion in response to local irritants. it is the most commonly occurring and a well-known oral lesion by oral physicians that most commonly affects gingiva, followed by lips, buccal mucosa, palate and tongue. “pyogenic granuloma” term itself is a misnomer. this article presents a report of 2 cases of pyogenic granuloma of ...

Using air to displace a viscous fluid contained in a Hele-Shaw cell can create a fingering pattern at the interface between the fluids if the capillary number exceeds a critical value. This Saffman-Taylor instability is revisited for the inverse case of a viscous fluid displacing air when partially wettable hydrophilic particles are lying on the walls. Though the inverse case is otherwise stabl...

The drag past spherical particles attached to a deformable fluid-fluid interface in the limit of small Capillary number and deviation contact angle from 90 degrees is determined. Analytical results are given for single particle flow while an analytical investigation supplemented with straightforward numerical done pairs on interface. Asymptotic large Bond number.

336 CLINICALCHEMISTRY, Vol.25,No. 2, 1979 capillary, the nine negative specimens were sampled and processed. This experiment was repeated with a plastic capillary. With the glass capillary, the first specimen was positive as expected, but the next eight specimens were also positive. The last specimen was negative. For the plastic capillary, the first specimen was positive and the next three ori...

Ultrastructural morphometric techniques were used to quantify pericyte degeneration in retinal and uveal capillaries of streptozotocin-diabetic rats in order to assess the suitability of this small rodent model of diabetes for studies of the pathogenesis of microvascular eye disease in diabetic humans. Male, Sprague-Dawley rats were killed by intraaortic perfusion of fixative 6 and 9 mos after ...

The capillary human tumor clonogenic cell assay (HTCA) has been shown to have important advantages over conventional HTCAs. In the present report, this promising novel HTCA was further optimized and characterized using 46 primary human tumor specimens, 6 human tumor cell lines (1 astrocytoma, 2 colon carcinomas, 1 melanoma), and 2 murine leukemias. Hydrocortisone, epidermal growth factor, heat-...
