PURPOSE To determine the composition and investigate the elastin fiber system in the juxtacanalicular tissue adjacent to and between collector channel orifices in normal human eyes. METHODS Normal human eyes (71.0 ± 8.6 years; mean ± SD; n = 4) were perfusion fixed at low (10 mm Hg) and high pressure (20 mm Hg) with 3% paraformaldehyde/0.1 M phosphate buffer. Frontal serial sections were cut ...

sugarcane, which has high water requirements, is grown in khuzestan province (iran). climate and optimizing the use of water is very important to sustainable cultivation of sugarcane. studies of water requirements for sugar cane in khuzestan show that in parts of sugarcane agro-industry, the water applied is more than the actual water requirement of the plant. the present study was conducted to...

Automatic storage reclamation via reference counting has important advantages, but has always suffered from a major weakness due to its inability to reclaim cyclic data structures. We describe a novel cycle collection algorithm that is both concurrent — it is capable of collecting garbage even in the presence of simultaneous mutation — and localized — it never needs to perform a global search o...

A new and compact fluorescence biosensor is constructed. The distinguished feature of this setup is the use of an ellipsoidal reflector as an optical collector of the fluorescence light. A traditional collecting lens with numerical aperture of 0.5 can only collect a few percent of the available signal, while the incorporation of the ellipsoidal reflector enables the apparatus to provide a signa...

In this paper the possibility of using the pyrolysis oil derived from waste tyres as a collector in flotation of coal was evaluated. The pyrolysis oil was obtained at the initial and final pyrolysis temperatures of 400 and 700 C, respectively, and the heat holding time of 30 min. Flotation results indicated that the pyrolysis oil emulsion showed stronger collecting ability than diesel and the c...

This paper describes the modeling of the resonant-tunneling hot-electron transistor (RHET). In the analysis of the resonanttunneling harrier, we solved the Schrodinger and the Poisson equations self-consistently. We simulated the electron transport in the base and the collector barrier region using the Monte Carlo method, taking account of the space charge in the collector barrier. Our model in...

This experimental study is intended to explore the heat performance of a novel vacuum tube heat collector with thermal storage. In order to enhance the heat transfer performance, we add radial metal fins to the U-tube which is used as the heat transfer channel of water. Meanwhile, in order to increase the thermal capacity of the heat collector, the heat collector model is designed to be larger ...

One of the effective methods to improve the thermal efficiency of solar collectors is using nanofluids as the coolant. The present study experimentally investigated the effect of SiO2/water nanofluid with 1% mass fraction on the performance of a symmetric collector, i.e. conical solar collector. The conical solar collector with 1 m2 area and normal to the earth was tested in Ahvaz, a city in th...
