Objective: The article presents the results of studying parameters in situ systems based on poloxamers. Methods: Natural, synthetic and semi-synthetic polymers were considered as additional gel-forming agents. above-mentioned agents cellulose derivatives, well rare-cross-linked acrylic polymers, alginic acid salts, xanthan gum. gelation temperature was visually recorded during gradual heating. ...

A dilute polymer solution is modeled as a suspension of non-interacting Hookean dumbbells and the effect of excluded volume is taken into account by incorporating a narrow Gaussian repulsive potential between the beads of each dumbbell. The narrow Gaussian potential is a means of regularising a deltafunction potential—it tends to the delta-function potential in the limit of the width parameter ...

A rigid-plastic Cosserat model for slow frictional flow of granular materials, proposed by us in an earlier paper, has been used to analyze plane and cylindrical Couette flow. In this model, the hydrodynamic fields of a classical continuum are supplemented by the couple stress and the intrinsic angular velocity fields. The balance of angular momentum, which is satisfied implicitly in a classica...

The thermal denaturation of the native DNA in solvents of varying salt concentrations was studied by viscometric and spectrophotometric methods. It was observed that within the molarity range of 0.02 M to 0.3 M, the melting temperatures obtained by the two independent methods agreed well, but that at lower ionic strength the agreement was not satisfactory. Both the visco­ metric and the spectro...
