Alteration in cell volume of vertebrates results in activation of volume-sensitive ion flux pathways. Fine control of the activity of these pathways enables cells to regulate volume following osmotic perturbation. Protein phosphorylation and dephosphorylation have been reported to play a crucial role in the control of volume-sensitive ion flux pathways. Exposing Amphiuma tridactylu red blood ce...

The dynamics of non-Newtonian Jeffrey fluid in conjunction with a spinning disk surface can be problematic heating systems, polymer technology, microelectronics, advanced and substantive disciplines. Therefore, the significance Hall current Coriolis forces terms flowing across gyrating subject to non-Fourier heat flux was investigated this study. A temperature-related source (TRHS) exponential-...

In interfaced rat hippocampal slices spreading depression (SD) and hypoxia-induced SD-like depolarization are associated with increased light reflectance and decreased light transmittance, indicating increased light scattering. By contrast, mild hypotonicity or electrical stimulation decrease light scattering, which is usually taken to be caused by cell swelling. This difference has been attrib...

This article is also accessible online at: http://BioMedNet.com/karger Dear Sir, A recent study of corneal swelling by Aakre and Doughty [1] found two regimes in the time course of tissue fluid imbibition. We are pleased to note that this confirms our discovery made over 10 years ago at the University of New South Wales, Sydney [2, 3]. We first reported these results in 1986–1988 to meetings of...

In this paper, we analyze, from the numerical point of view, a swelling porous thermo-elastic problem. The so-called second-sound effect is introduced and modeled by using simplest Maxwell–Cattaneo law. This problem leads to coupled system which written displacements fluid solid, temperature heat flux. analysis performed applying classical finite element method with linear elements for spatial ...

comnode classification within membrane residue curves (m-rcms) currently hinges on lyapunov’s theorem and therefore the computation of mathematically complex eigenvalues. this paper presents an alternative criterion for the classification of nodes within m-rcms based on the total membrane flux at node compositions. this paper demonstrates that for a system exhibiting simple permeation behaviour...

Two-dimensional (2D) MXene-based nanofiltration membranes could sustainably and rapidly produce clean water. However, the challenges related to severe swelling of MXene in water should be overcome before practical application. In this work, negatively charged membrane is modified by positively polyethyleneimine (PEI) with various PEI:MXene ratios. The PEI-MXene deposited on a polyacrylonitrile ...
