Immunoreactivities for FMRFamide and substance P (SP) in the carotid labyrinth of the bullfrog were detected using the peroxidase-antiperoxidase method, and the results compared with corresponding differential interference-contrast (Nomarski) images. Colocalization of both peptides was determined by the indirect double immunofluorescence method. Immunoreactivities for FMRFamide and SP were foun...

any portion of the membranous or the bony labyrinth. A primary or secondary deficiency of the cochlear nerve may also present as a congenital anomaly. CT and MRI allow for a detailed analysis of each lesion and they can provide guidance for the proper treatment of each patient. Both CT and MR imaging can be used to detect inner ear malformations, yet the two techniques are often complementary. ...

In this work, CFD is used to simulate the flow in an existing thermal labyrinth located at the basement of a hospital building. This labyrinth is an underground channel equipped with water tanks to increase the thermal mass and reduce the heating and cooling demand of the building. Thermal energy storage in the water tanks is a complex heat transfer phenomena involving turbulent forced convecti...

A physical model for flow characteristics analysis of labyrinth-channel emitter is reconstructed by Reverse Engineering from an injection molded part, and both laminar flow and turbulence models are adopted to simulate the flow state under the condition of low Reynolds numbers. According to the distribution of separation and reattachment points, the onset of transition from laminar to turbulent...
