A theoretical answer to the controversial issue on anomalous convective heat transfer in nanofluids has been provided, exploiting Buongiorno model for with modifications fully account effects of nanoparticle volume fraction distributions continuity, momentum, and energy equations. set exact solutions have obtained hydrodynamically thermally developed laminar nanofluid flows channels tubes, subject constant flux. From solutions, it concluded that rate, exceeding rate expected from increase...
Lectins on antigen presenting cells are potentially involved in the uptake and cellular recognition trafficking. Serial analysis of gene expression monocyte-derived dendritic (DCs), monocytes, macrophages revealed that 7 19 C-type lectin mRNA were present immature DCs. Two these, macrophage mannose receptor specific for galactose/N-acetylgalactosamine (MGL), found only DCs, as confirmed by reverse transcriptase-PCR flow cytometric analysis. By subcloning sequencing amplified mRNA, we...
A novel hyaluronan-binding protein (PHBP) was purified from human plasma by affinity chromatography on hyaluronan-conjugated Sepharose. The contaminating IgM and albumin in the partially preparation were removed with anti-IgG antibody-conjugated Sepharose anti-albumin Sepharose, respectively, no other contaminant observed. Finally, 800 μg of PHBP isolated 500 ml plasma. gave a single 70-kDa band SDS-PAGE under non-reducing conditions, 50-kDa 17-kDa bands reducing conditions. Thus,...
The continuous resources recovery system utilizing the water electrolysis reaction was developed for recovering magnesium from seawater. A set of experiments forming hydroxide deep-ocean were carried out at a cathode channel separated by an ion exchange membrane. concentrations and calcium in solution obtained outlet measured ICP to evaluate usefulness proposed method system. Moreover, configuration component precipitate formed analyzed SEM EDS respectively. It found that all contained...
A volumetric solar receiver receives the concentrated radiation generated by a large number of heliostats. Heat transfer takes place from solid phase to air as it passes through porous receiver. Such combined heat within receiver, associated radiation, convection and conduction, are investigated using local thermal nonequilibrium model. The Rosseland approximation is applied account for radiative while low Mach exploited investigate compressible flow Analytic solutions obtained developments...
A porous media approach was proposed to investigate the characteristics of bifurcating airflow and mass transfer within a lung. The theory introduced in order deal with large number bifurcations vast scale difference resulting from bifurcations. Upon introducing two-medium treatment for air convection diffusion its surrounding wall tissue, oxygen between inhaling tissue considered along effects blood perfusion on tissue. overall resistance inlet trachea capillaries obtained basis approach....
A porous media approach based on the volume-averaging theory has been proposed to investigate solute diffusion and ultrafiltration processes associated with hemodialysis using a hollow fiber membrane dialyzer. general set of macroscopic governing equations derived for three individual phases, namely, blood phase, dialysate phase. Thus, conservations mass, momentum, species are considered compartments, membranes within dialyzer establish concentration equation model. These can be...
An exhaustive experimental investigation has been carried out for accurate determination of interstitial heat transfer coefficients ceramic foams in forced convective flows.The single-blow method was used, which, the fluid temperature varies with time and becomes time-dependent.The results a transient conjugate phenomena between foam fluid.These data are then compared theoretical to obtain corresponding solid surface.The thus determined against available sets data, so as examine consistency...
The effects of PRL on fertilization and cleavage human oocytes subsequent pregnancy were studied. Forty-five patients (47 cycles) with euprolactinemic normal menstrual cycles undergoing in vitro (IVF) for the treatment tubal infertility selected this study. divided into three groups dependent upon their mean serum concentrations 3 days prior to Oocyte retrieval; hypoprolactinemic ( < 10 µg/I), (10–30 µg/l) hyperprolactinemic (≧30 µg/I). Multiple follicular development was induced hMG,...
Composting is the biological decomposition and stabilization of organic substrates. Heat generated biologically to produce a final product that stable, free pathogens weed seeds, which can be beneficially applied land. As pointed out by Haug (1) Li Jenkins (2), composting an ancient art, yet engineering still often conducted using "handbook approach." However, such approach lacks knowledge control various factors involved achieve desired end economics. A typical system with aeration shown in...
A mathematical model has been proposed for numerical simulation of composting processes under aeration controls. Exploiting the local volume-averaging theory, an appropriate set governing equations introduced so as to describe complex transport phenomena associated with microbe species, substrates, and water in operations. two-dimensional experiment conducted reveal temporal spatial variations system temperature, microbial concentrations within open channel-type system, aerated by forced...
The pig counterpart of human IHRP has been isolated from serum, and cDNA clones encoding this were characterized. amino acid sequence predicted the nucleotide its shows reasonable homology to that IHRP. is identical mRNA partially determined be heavy chain I'll [Buchman et al. (1990) Surgery 108,560-666]; it one major mRNAs induced in liver on cardiogenic shock. Thus we concluded reported should code for not ITI. also seems pig-MAP, which was recently a acute phase serum protein...
