We present VLBA observations and a statistical analysis of 5 GHz VLBI polarimetry data from 177 sources in the Caltech-Jodrell Bank flat-spectrum (CJF) survey. The CJF survey, a complete, flux-density-limited sample of 293 extragalactic radio sources, gives us the unique opportunity to compare a broad range of source properties for quasars, galaxies and BL Lacertae objects. We focus primarily o...

We present a microfluidic based injection system designed to achieve intracellular delivery of macromolecules by directing a picoliter-jet of a solution towards individual cells. After discussing the concept, we present design specification and criteria, elucidate performance and discuss results. The method has the potential to be quantitative and high throughput, overcoming limitations of curr...

W et injection was first proposed for administering inI sulin over 35 years ago (1). The stated rationale for I the initial devices was to decrease pain of injection I compared to needles and syringes (2). There was W little further application of jet injection to the treatment of diabetes for over 10 years, although jet injection developed wide use for mass immunization programs. Recently, the...

We report the best evidence to date of a jet break in a short gamma-ray burst (GRB) afterglow, using Chandra and Swift XRT observations of the X-ray afterglow of GRB 051221A. The combined X-ray light curve, which has three breaks, is similar to those commonly observed in Swift observations of long GRBs. A flat segment of the light curve at 0.1 days after the burst represents the first clear cas...

• A three-stage behavior of tip penetration in ammonia jets are proposed. The and methane have similar S , α fuel mole fractions at jet axis. hyperbolic decays concentrations the axis confirmed. Fuel increase with increased P inj but reduce a . Ammonia show distinct flammable mixture distributions. direct-injection gaseous is possible way to engines meet scenario zero-carbon emission. In this s...

This study aims to investigate the dynamics characteristics of liquid jet injected from a needle-free injection device by analyzing the the flow visualization from the high-speed video camera and the CFD calculation. This is to investigate the jet flow phenomena (e.g. penetration, dispersion, velocity) in the quiescent air and in the tissue simulant (20% polyacrylamide gel) as the further infor...

The effect of a combined system of the bed suction and jet injection as a pier-scour countermeasure on the turbulent flow field is studied in a laboratory flume using an Acoustic Doppler Velocimeter (ADV). The three components of the velocities in the vertical symmetry plane in the equilibrium scour hole in front and rear of the pier under 3-jet injections and bed suction rate Qs/Q0 = 2%located...

In the scramjet engine, injection and mixing of fuel are basis for organizing efficient combustion. The shock wave/jet shear layer interaction is one methods used to enhance in supersonic flow. this research, effect induced wave on augmentation counter-flow jet studied crossflow. results show that symmetrical setting generators (SWGs) has highest efficiency but brings a greater total pressure l...

We study the long-term evolution of relativistic jets in collapsars and examine the effects of viewing angle on the subsequent gamma ray bursts. We carry out a series of high-resolution simulations of a jet propagating through a stellar envelope in 2D cylindrical coordinates using the FLASH relativistic hydrodynamics module. For the first time, simulations are carried out using an adaptive mesh...

Gamma ray bursts are often modelled as jet-like outflows directed towards the observer; the cone angle of the jet is then commonly inferred from the time at which there is a steepening in the power-law decay of the afterglow. We consider an alternative model in which the jet has a beam pattern where the luminosity per unit solid angle (and perhaps also the initial Lorentz factor) decreases smoo...
