This article aims to understand the radiation behavior within a photo-reactor, following the ISO 22197-1:2007 standard. The RADIANCE lighting simulation tool, based on the backward ray-tracing modeling method, is employed for a numerical computation of the radiation field. The reflection of the glass cover in the photo-reactor and the test sample influence the amount of irradiance received by t...

To correctly speciate members of the genus Heterodera, the vulva area of cysts must be examined to assess the morphology of the underbridge, bullae, and fenestrae. The usual procedure (1) is to soak the cyst in water for about an hour, after which a scalpel is used to cut away the posterior part of the cyst containing the vulva area. The severed part is cleaned and trimmed, placed in absolute a...

Abstract Present work shows the results of thermal performance a single-slope solar still under different tilt angles glass cover, using numerical simulation through CFD. Simulations were carried out Computational Fluid Dynamics for glass-cover 10°, 20°, 30°, and 40°. For each angle, distributions temperature, density velocity fluid obtained. Besides, convective heat transfer coefficient betwee...

Introduction: Titanium alloy is a commonly used implant material in orthopaedics but improving its interface with bone is a key goal in its application to new tissue engineering approaches. In this project we investigated the osteogenic potential of AC-100 (an active motif from the Matrix Extracellular Phosphoglycoprotein) and in doing so further studies could be carried out on titanium surface...

We have used epifluorescence and photobleaching techniques to study the lateral distribution and motion of fluorescein-conjugated Fab fragments of anti-C3b receptor antibody bound to human neutrophils when the cells rest on various solid supports (microscope slides or cover slips). Supports composed of quartz, glass, or alkylated glass induced cellular adhesion, spreading, and an extensive late...

This study compared three broadband emissivity (BBE) datasets from satellite observations. The first is a new global land surface BBE dataset known as the Global Land Surface Satellite (GLASS) BBE. The other two are the North American ASTER Land Surface Emissivity Database (NAALSED) BBE and University of Wisconsin Global Infrared Land Surface Emissivity Database (UWIREMIS) BBE, which were deriv...
