Microparticle separation and concentration based on size has become indispensable in many biomedical and environmental applications. In this paper we describe a passive microfluidic device with spiral microchannel geometry for complete separation of particles. The design takes advantage of the inertial lift and viscous drag forces acting on particles of various sizes to achieve differential mig...

The study addressed the underrepresentation of women in university leadership by focusing on middle management role dean. This research set forth two processes that may affect female and male professors' ambition to become a dean: (a) gender bias whereby stakeholders are more likely recommend men than for deanships, (b) self-selection find deanships appealing do. A multisource, time-lagged 278 ...

I read the recent systematic review which asked some interesting questions regarding the pathogenesis of tendinopathy (Vasta et al., 2016). The statement “histologic studies have demonstrated the absence of inflammatory infiltrates” is not supported by the current evidence base. Our recent systematic review on this subject demonstrated that the absence of neutrophils does not equate to the abse...

This paper presents a survey on computer and the internet usage in both governmental and private universities. Questionnaires were sent to the university administrators in the levels of department head, office head, associate dean and dean of 24 governmental universities and of 15 private universities. 46.7% of these questionnaires have been returned. The results of the survey show that both go...

granule-membrane surface as it undergoes exocytosis is dramatically decreased (Howell & Tyhurst, 1977). Incubation of isolated granules with 1-2m~-CaCI, did not produce a visible decrease in the number of anionic sites, although as shown by Dean (1974), even the small decrease in charge which could be expected after addition of 1 mM-CaZ+ would be sufficient to produce a 50-fold increase in the ...

Dean Russell Richey of the Candler School of Theology announced recently that he will step down as dean following the 2005–06 academic year to return to his teaching and scholarship. Richey has served as Candler dean since July 2000, when he left his position as professor of church history at the Duke Divinity School. From 1986–97 he served as associate dean for academic programs at Duke, and f...

A numerical method is described which is suitable for solving the equations governing the steady motion of a viscous fluid through a slightly curved tube of circular crosssection but which is also applicable to the solution of any problem governed by the steady two-dimensional Navier-Stokes equations in the plane polar co-ordinate system. The governing equations are approximated by a scheme whi...
