Highly compacted sand-bentonite mixtures are often considered as possible engineered barriers in deep high-level radioactive waste disposals. In-situ, the saturation of these barriers from their initially unsaturated state is a complex hydro-mechanical coupled process in which temperature effects also play a role. The key parameter of this process is the unsaturated hydraulic conductivity of th...

Surgical excision of submandibular salivary glands (sialoadenectomy) alters cell turnover in mice liver. Here we show that the liver of adult mice contained scattered leukocyte infiltration foci whose size was in the range of the diameter of hepatocytes. The number of infiltration foci in the liver increased soon after sialoadenectomy and remained high for several weeks. Neutrophils were recrui...

in this study, hydrus2d/3d software was used to estimate the hydraulic parameters of van genuchten-mualem model via inverse modeling using double-ring infiltrometers data in 3 different soil textures. nine scenarios of inverse modeling (divided in three groups) were considered with different number (5, 4 and 3) of fitted hydraulic parameters for optimization. in the first group, simulation was ...

In his seminal paper on the solution of infiltration equation, Philip (1969), https://doi.org/10.1016/b978-1-4831-9936-8.50010-6 proposed a gravity time, tgrav, to estimate practical convergence time and domain validity infinite series expansion, TSE, for describing transient state. The parameter tgrav refers point in where is dominated equally by capillarity as derived from first two (dominant...

The effect of the infiltration pressure on the birefringent properties of a side-hole fiber filled with indium was investigated by the fiber-optic Sagnac loop interferometry. The fiber was made at the various gas pressures during the metal infiltration process. It was found that the birefringence of the fiber strongly decreased from 5.55×10(-4) to 1.68×10(-4) with the increase of the pressure f...

OBJECTIVE [corrected] To report a rare case of secondary testicular plasmocytoma in the context of a testicular mass. METHOD We introduced a patient with plasmocytoma and a testicular infiltration of his systemic affection. RESULT An inguinal orquiectomy was performed to treat the testicular infiltration and no recurrence of the process was seen after 6 months of follow up. CONCLUSIONS Pl...

Four case histories are reported in which the initial signs and symptoms were those of pulmonary infiltration and in which subsequently a diagnosis of myelodysplasia was made. The analysis of bronchoalveolar lavage fluid--demonstrating predominantly neutrophils and lymphocytes, and, occasionally blast cells as well as plasma cells--indicated that the pulmonary infiltration was related to the my...

Attempts have been made to describe the influence of the production process parameters and additions of iron powders on properties of copper infiltrated HSS based composites. The powder compositions used to produce skeletons for further infiltration were: M3/2, M3/2+20% Fe and M3/2+50% Fe. The powders were cold pressed at 800 MPa. The infiltration process was carried out in vacuum. Both green c...
