The initiated due to motion of lower wall the channel and axial pressure gradient. modelled aid low Reynolds number lubrication approximation theory. Exact analytical expressions are gathered velocity, stream functions various stations Ph...

The present study aimed to evaluate the influence of selected compounds from the polyol group, as well as other saccharides, on the osmotic dehydration process of apples. The following alternative solutions were examined: erythritol, xylitol, maltitol, inulin and oligofructose. Efficiency of the osmotic dehydration process was evaluated based on the kinetics of the process, and through comparis...

Polyelectrolyte hydrogel is a ternary mixture of water, polymer network and mobile ions. The present paper examined two popular models describing the swelling and deformation behaviors of polyelectrolyte hydrogels, i.e. the multiphasic model and the transport model. The water flow, the network deformation and the ionic diffusion are coupled in the multiphasic model, and the gradient of the flui...

The hydraulic conductivity of the membranes surrounding the giant axon of the squid, Dosidicus gigas, was measured. In some axons the axoplasm was partially removed by suction. Perfusion was then established by insertion of a second pipette. In other axons the axoplasm was left intact and only one pipette was inserted. In both groups hydrostatic pressure was applied by means of a water column i...

Salinity stress affects plant growth and development by causing osmotic nutrient imbalances through excess Na+, K+, Cl− ion accumulations that induce toxic effects during germination, seedling development, vegetative growth, flowering, fruit set. However, the of salt on processes, especially in polyploidized leguminous plants, remain unexplored scantly reported compared to their diploid counter...

Teleost fish experience passive osmotic water influx in fresh water (FW) and water outflux in salt water, which is normally compensated by water flow driven by active ion transport mechanisms. Euryhaline fish may also minimize osmotic energy demand by "behavioral osmoregulation", seeking a medium isotonic with their body fluids. Our goal was to evaluate the energy requirement for osmoregulation...

Current definition of inflammation by its cardinal signs is obsolete and unsuitable for guiding adequate therapeutic strategies. Furthermore, present theory of the inflammatory process regarding vascular phenomena as essential for generation of cardinal signs is invalid and unable to explain well established empirical facts, particularly the extent of the osmotic pressure and temperature variat...

Retarded accelerations of the self-organized front that separates two steady states of a continuous bistable system are studied by considering the response of the “bistable” front (BF) to the step-like force of flexible steepness. The driven system is described by a nonlinear differential equation of reaction–diffusion type, with the rate function approximated by the linear pieces. The retarded...

The numerical simulation of a Poiseuille flow in a narrow channel using the molecular dynamics simulation (MDS) is performed. Poiseuille flow of liquid Argon in a nanochannel is simulated by embedding the fluid particles in a uniform force field. Density, velocity and Temperature profiles across the channel are investigated. When particles will be inserted into the flow, it is expected that the...
