the increasing incidence of systemic candidiasis, which parallels the use of invasive and immunosuppressive medical procedures, necessitates development of rapid and cost effective tests for diagnosis of systemic candidiasis. therefore in this study 85 mice were first immunosuppressed by cyclophosphamide and then infected by candida albicans ncpf 3153. other 85 mice were employed as control. th...

A thermodynamic model is used to analyze a transcritical carbon dioxide heat pump cycle integrating vortex tube. The objective prove that tube beneficial in raising efficiency. novelty of the current work lies implementing sophisticated operating with at high pressures or two-phase state. However, for all other components pump, commercial library (TIL) associated Dymola software simulate system...

In order to assess the dynamic performance of a submerged floating tunnel (SFT) subject flow-induced vibration (FIV) conditions in practical engineering application, one-way fluid–structure interaction (FSI) model consisting multi-scale hydrodynamic solvers combined with finite element method (FEM) is established. A typical long, large aspect ratio SFT modeled by coupling tube, joint, and moori...

in this paper, single, bi-layered and three-layered tube hydroforming processes were numerically simulated using the finite element method. it was found that the final bulges heights resulted from the models were in good agreement with the experimental results. three types of modeling were kept with the same geometry, tube material and process parameters to be compared between the obtained hydr...

Measurements of three-dimensional turbulent flow in the exit head section of a shell-andtube heat exchanger were performed using three-component laser Doppler velocimeter. The test geometry is half of a hemispherical cap with two outlet-tubes and with a cylindrical inlet section. Distributions of the velocity vector field, the three mean velocity components, and the Reynolds stress components a...

Lower plants generate mobile sperm cells that must reach their female counterparts by swimming. This requirement for water is a disadvantage for these plants as compared with angiosperms, for which the dry pollen attaches to a stigma and becomes hydrated, enabling the emerging pollen tube to grow in the protected environment of the pistil. After adhesion, hydration, and germination of the polle...

purpose: to evaluate the outcomes of traumatic canalicular laceration repair using masterka silicone tube. methods: this interventional case series included 25 patients with traumatic canalicular laceration who underwent canalicular repair with masterka tube. the patients were followed at least for 6 months. at last visit, anatomic and functional successes were assessed by diagnostic probing an...
