Fluid management is an integral component in the management of patients with acute renal failure (ARF) in the ICU setting. In the presence of a failing kidney, fluid removal is often a challenge and requires the use of high dose diuretics with a variable response. It is often necessary in this setting to institute dialysis for volume control rather than metabolic control. CRRT techniques offer ...

   Drilling fluids are an essential component of the rotary drilling process used to drill for oil and gas on land and offshore environments. The injection of this nano particle into drilling fluid increases the viscosity levels fluids. In these experiments, the rheological properties of the fluid including apparent viscosity (AV), plastic viscosity (PV), yielding point (YP), mud c...

In this paper, we propose a new fluid-fluid collision model for particle-based immiscible fluid animation. Our model consists of two components, namely, collision detection and collision response. An interesting feature is that our model not only can prevent immiscible fluids from mixing with each other, but also can allow one fluid to run through or to wrap around another fluid. The model is v...

to investigate uterine fluid and serum copper (cu) and zinc (zn) variations during the estrous cycle in water buffaloes, 71 genital tracts and blood samples were collected from the abattoir in urmia, iran. the phase of the estrous cycle was determined by examining ovarian structures; 18, 15, 16 and 22 were pro-estrous, estrous, met-estrous and diestrous, respectively. the uterine fluid was coll...

Nowadays, atomic-force microscopy plays a significant role in nanoscience and nanotechnology, and is widely used for direct measurement at atomic scale and scanning the sample surfaces. In tapping mode, the microcantilever of atomic-force microscope is excited at resonance frequency. Therefore, it is important to study its resonance. Moreover, atomic-force microscopes can be operated in fluid e...
