Experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) is mediated by inflammatory cells recruited from the circulation to the CNS. We used intravital microscopy to investigate the mechanisms of this recruitment. No leukocyte rolling and very little adhesion was observed in healthy control mice. In contrast, both rolling and adhesion was observed in brain postcapillary venules before onset of physical...

The cross-rolling is a new process that results in significant evolutions in microstructure of the metallic sheets. In this study, an aluminium 1050 sheet was rolled up to 95% reduction in cross directions for ten passes. The rolled samples were investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The rolled samples possess a high dislocation density and ultra-fin...

To assess the role of second-order channels in symmetry perception we measured the effects of check size, spatial frequency content, eccentricity and grey scale range on the detection of symmetrical and anti-symmetrical patterns. Thresholds for symmetrical stimuli were only moderately affected by these manipulations. Anti-symmetrical stimuli composed of large black and white checks elicited low...

in this work, effects of homogenization time of 3 to 13 h at 1200 °c on the grain refinement of as-cast aisi 301 stainless steel after different hot rolling conditions were investigated. the results showed that the minimum grain size of 16±7 mm was achieved when homogenization took place at 1200 °c for 9 h followed by hot rolling at temperature range of 1000–1200 °c with strain of 0.8 and strai...

– A first-principle continuum-mechanics expression for the rolling friction coefficient is obtained for the rolling motion of a viscoelastic sphere on a hard plane. It relates the friction coefficient to the viscous and elastic constants of the sphere material. The relation obtained refers to the case when the deformation of the sphere ξ is small, the velocity of the sphere V is much less than ...

Rolling motion is the where a body flies at constant pitch angle α with respect to freestream velocity vector, while undergoing angular rotation p about its longitudinal axis. An effect of this appearance Magnus force and moment, which add static forces moments. One problem that arises high angles attack flow not symmetric in these conditions, leading non-zero side zero spin rate. Additionally,...

The crystallographic texture of Ti–29Nb–9Ta–10Zr alloy is studied after cold-rolling with different amounts of thickness reduction, up to 60%. The major texture components developed during cold-rolling were: γ-fibre components: {111}〈 〉, {111}〈 〉, {111}〈 〉 and {111}〈 〉; texture component: {112}〈 〉 and texture components: {001}〈 〉 and {010}〈001〉. Besides crystallographic texture the resulted mec...

wheel numeric and different versions of mobility numbers are important models for predicting the rolling resistance. in this study, data related to the rolling resistance of cross ply and radial ply tires were compared with the resultant values from several models. also, the preciseness of models in rolling resistance prediction was evaluated. for this purpose f test and 1-1 line method (p≥ 0.0...

This paper presents a rolling sound synthesis model which can be intuitively controlled. To propose this model, different aspects of the rolling phenomenon are explored : physical modeling, perceptual attributes and signal morphology. A source-filter model for rolling sounds synthesis is presented with associated intuitive controls.

Leukocyte rolling in venules is inhibited by several sulfated polysaccharides, by antibodies to the leukocyte adhesion receptor L-selectin (LECAM-1), and by recombinant soluble L-selectin. The sulfated fucose polymer fucoidin and the polyphosphomannan PPME bind to L-selectin and inhibit L-selectin-mediated lymphocyte adhesion to lymph node high endothelial venules (LN-HEV). We investigated whet...
