The purpose of this paper is to investigate the EGM method and the behavior of a solid particle suspended in a twodimensional rectangular cavity due to conjugate natural convection. A thermal lattice Boltzmann BGK model is implemented to simulate the two dimensional natural convection and the particle phase was modeled using the Lagrangian–Lagrangian approach where the solid particles are treat...

conclusions calcined coral/sodium nitrate as a new, efficient, and natural heterogeneous catalyst used in aldol condensation reaction of ketones and aldehydes led to β-hydroxyketones in good to high yields in appropriate condition. materials and methods marine coral (acropora sp.) was washed several times using methanol-ethyl acetate and deionized water and then dried in an oven at 80°c for 48 ...

In the past few decades, there is increasing trend to use products from natural resources. Dyes obtained from natural sources are among such products. The present research mainly focuses on optimization of extraction conditions during a natural dye extraction from the flower petals of a tree ‘Flame of Forest’. Taguchi technique was employed for optimization of the parameters namely raw dyestuff...

Natural killer (NK) cells play an important role in the innate immune response against cancer, in particular in the elimination of tumor metastases and small tumors. NK cell-mediated control of large solid tumors is usually not efficient, although tumors often express high amounts of activating ligands and low levels of inhibitory ligands, such as MHC class I. Thus, we assume that these tumors ...

We derive boundary conditions for the vorticity equation with solid wall boundaries. The formulation uses a Dirichlet condition for the normal component of vorticity, and Neumann type conditions for the tangential components. In a Galerkin (integral) formulation the tangential condition is natural, i.e. it is enforced by a right-hand side functional and does not impose a boundary constraint on ...
