lung injury and has low survival rates. More than 150,000 cases of ARDS are diagnosed every year in the US alone, according to the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute database. 1H nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) has been a well-established technique for the recognition of biomarkers in various body fl uids [1]. Over last few decades, investigators have searched for novel biomarkers for t...

Conservative discretizations of two uid ow problems generally exhibit pressure oscillations In this work we show that these pressure oscillations are induced by the loss of a pressure invariance property under discretiza tion and we introduce a non oscillatory conservative method for barotropic two uid ows The conservative formulation renders the two uid ow problem suitable to treatment by a Go...

A DISTINGUISHING CHARACTERISTIC AMONG PERFECTLY WETTING FLUIDS JOHN MCCUAN Abstract. We consider a cylindrical lm of uid adhering to a rigid cylinder of xed radius. The main result is to give the critical (maximum) length for which such a lm of given thickness can be stable. The problem is considered both when the cylinder remains stationary and when the uid and the cylinder are co-rotating at ...

cacy of hydroxyethyl starch (HES) versus NaCl in patients with severe sepsis requires an algorithm to direct the timing and amount of fl uid resuscitation. Such an algorithm may include hemodynamic fl ow parameters. In a recent issue of Critical Care, Guidet and colleagues [1] reported that a smaller amount of 6% HES 130/0.4 versus 0.9% NaCl was required to achieve hemodynamic stability (HDS) d...

are called stationary Stokes equations, where u : Ω→ R denotes the velocity of the uid, p : Ω→ R denotes the pressure and f : Ω → R is the density of forces acting on the uid (e.g. gravitational force). The Stokes equations govern a ow of a steady, viscous, incompresible uid. We note that (1) is called the momentum equation and (2) is called the incompressibility equation. We supplement the sys...

We compare two models describing the dynamics of phase separation of incompressible mixtures: A local model proposed by de Gennes, and a nonlocal model proposed by E and Pally-Muhoray. We nd that in the interfacial regime, the local model gives rise to interfacial motion via the Mullins-Sekerka law for moderate quenches, and surface diiusion for deep quenches. The interface dynamics is slowed d...

The “uniform information density” (UID) hypothesis proposes that language producers aim for a constant rate of information flow within a message, and research on monologue-like written texts has found evidence for UID in production. We consider conversational messages, using a large corpus of tweets, and look for UID behavior. We do not find evidence of UID behavior, and even find context effec...

The dynamics of a relativistic, hot charged uid is expressed in terms of a hybrid magneto uid eld which uni es the electromagnetic eld with an appropriately dened but analogous oweld. In this uni ed eld, the uid experiences no net force. Suitably modi ed (due to temperature) minimal coupling prescription for particle dynamics may be invoked to a ect the transformation from the oweld (or the ele...
