In this work, a theoretical model with numerical solution is brought forward for bio-nanofluid varying fluid features over slippery sheet. The partial differential equations (PDEs) involving temperature-dependent quantities have been translated into ordinary (ODEs) by using similarity variables. Numerical verifications done in three different methods: finite difference method, shooting and bvp4...

This work examines the slip boundary condition by Lattice Boltzmann simulations, addresses the validity of the Navier’s hypothesis that the slip velocity is proportional to the shear rate and compares the Lattice Boltzmann simulations to the experimental results of Tretheway and Meinhart (Phys. of Fluids, 14, L9-L12). The numerical simulation models the boundary condition as the probability, P,...

Fault slip during plate boundary earthquakes releases a portion of the shear stress accumulated due to frictional resistance to relative plate motions. Investigation of 101 large [moment magnitude (Mw) ≥ 7] subduction zone plate boundary mainshocks with consistently determined coseismic slip distributions establishes that 15 to 55% of all master event-relocated aftershocks with Mw ≥ 5.2 are loc...

A quantitative assay for lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus was developed and standardized. The assay is based on direct immunofluorescent staining of infected L-929 cell monolayers and enumeration of cells containing fluorescent viral antigens. Maximal adsorption of virus to cells occurred within 1 h. Observations on the sequential development of viral antigens within cells showed that specifi...
