We theoretically considered two-dimensional flow in a vertically aligned thick molten liquid film to investigate the competition between cooling and gravity-driven draining, which is relevant formation of metallic foams. Molten films cools as it drains, losing its heat surrounding colder air substrate. extended our previous model include non-isothermal effects, resulting coupled non-linear evol...

This paper defines a PID type yarn tension control run by a PLC system that is used to control the yarn tension below the twisting head of the novel air jet texturing and twisting (AJT) machine. In the standard sequence of the AJT, if the yarn is transported to the twisting and winding head with a low tension value, the yarn is bound to wrap around the shoulder below the twisting head and break...

2014 We present an extensive light-microscopic study of mutual adhesion of egg (and dimyristoyl) lecithin bilayers in highly swollen samples, including adhesion brought about by osmotic inflation of vesicles. The lateral tensions associated with adhesion, if below ca. 3 x 10-4 dyn cm-1, could be read from a rounding of the membrane next to the contact area. The contact angle of symmetric adhesi...

A thorough understanding of the physiological processes that underlie muscle tension is foundational to any discussion on environments and substances that alter such a process. The fascial web, an interconnection of the various fascia, extends throughout the entire body and acts to link every area of the body together and connect external and internal structures. It is the fascial tissue that t...
