The pair annihilation of straight line defects with strength +/-1/2 in bulk nematic systems is studied numerically, considering a full coupling of orientational degrees of freedom and hydrodynamics. This work is based on the generalization of the Ericksen-Leslie theory to the tensor order parameter as proposed by Qian and Sheng [T. Qian and P. Sheng, Phys. Rev. E 58, 7475 (1998)]. The approach ...

Multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS) has been the difficulty in clinical treatment of severe burns. In the 1990s, the incidence rate of MODS was 28.1% in severe burn patients, while the mortality rate was as high as 78%-98% (Huang et al., 1998). MODS was caused by two “attacks": the first attack was the early plasma leakage and the effective circulating blood volume reduction, as resulted...
