establishing satisfactory estimation methods of lake evaporation has been crucial vital for research and management of water resources and ecosystems. determining the accurate method to estimate evaporation from reservoirs in the investigation and management of water resources is very important. hence, in this study eight empirical methods such as; makkink, debruin-kejiman, penman, priestley-ta...

To characterize the "portal signal" in a nonsteady hyperglycemic state, the kinetic relationship between net hepatic glucose balance (NHGB) and either hepatic glucose load (HGL) or plasma insulin level was determined during glucose infusion using a catheter technique in 36 conscious dogs. Glucose was infused intraportally (Po group) and peripherally (Pe group) at 39, 56, and 83 micromol x kg(-1...

In these studies, the DF32P leukokinetic is obtained. This technique has been technique has been modified so that successfully employed in the study of the neutrophil kinetics may be studied in the early phase of cortisol-induced granulononsteady state. In order to achieve this cytosis, allowing measurement of cell modification, an acid citrate solution was flow rate in and out of the circulati...

Engineered tissue constructs are limited in size, and thus clinical relevance, when diffusion is the primary mode of oxygen transport. Understanding the extent of oxygen diffusion and cellular consumption is necessary for the design of engineered tissues, particularly those intended for implantation into hypoxic wound sites. This study presents a combined experimental and computation model to p...

evaporation of micro-liter drops from solid surfaces at room condition is mainly governed by diffusion. therefore, there should be no difference between evaporation rate of sessile and pendant drops. however, some studies indicate a difference and explain the difference using buoyancy. the objective here is to reconcile the inconsistency in the literature. for that, first, by comparing two iden...

Let Ω be a bounded domain in IR with a Lipschitz boundary, ∂Ω ∈ | C and let Γ1, Γ2 be open disjoint subsets of ∂Ω such that ∂Ω = Γ1 ∪ Γ2, Γ1 6= ∅ and the 1-dimensional measure of ∂Ω − (Γ1 ∪ Γ2) is zero. The domain Ω represents a channel filled up with a fluid, Γ1 is a fixed wall and Γ2 is both the input and the output of the channel. Let T ∈ (0,∞], Q = Ω×(0, T ). The classical formulation of ou...

The aim of the present experiments is to validate, in conscious dogs, the tracer infusion methods of measuring nonsteady turnover rates. This was done in nine experiments performed in four normal dogs by infusing isotopically labeled glucose (2-3H, 6-3H, 1-14C) and monitoring the concentrations of both the labeled and unlabeled substances. The validation is based on the observation that a high ...
