Erythrocytes and plasma proteins contribrelated (p < 0.001) with the plasma ute to viscosity of blood. Therefore, blood macroglobulin concentration in g/100 ml. viscosity was measured in 16 persons with The plasma of patients with macroglobumacroglobulinemia with a cone-plate vislinemia is a non-Newtonian fluid, but at a cometer at defined shear rates. In each given shear rate the plasma viscos...

Chemical modifications made to hyaluronan to enable covalent crosslinking to form a hydrogel or to attach other molecules may alter the physical properties as well, which have physiological importance. Here we created carboxymethyl hyaluronan (CMHA) with varied degree of modification and investigated the effect on the viscosity of CMHA solutions. Viscosity decreased initially as modification in...

Erhan Bayraktar University of Michigan Probabilistic Perron's method and verification without smoothness using viscosity comparison: the linear case We introduce a probabilistic version of the classical Perron's method to construct viscosity solutions to linear parabolic equations associated to stochastic differential equations. Using this method, we construct easily two viscosity (sub and supe...

Blood viscosity was studied during extracorporeal circulation by means of a cone in cone viscometer. This rotational viscometer provides sixteen kinds of shear rate, ranging from 0.05 to 250.2 sec-1 • Merits and demerits of the equipment were described comparing with the capillary viscometer. In experimental study it was well demonstrated that the whole blood viscosity showed the shear rate dep...

Satiety is important in regulating food intake and has important public health significance in the control of obesity. Food containing protein and non-starch polysaccharides provides a satiety effect through various mechanisms but a comparison of the satiety effect on each has not previously been investigated. This study compared the satiety effect or reduction of hunger after consumption of (i...

VISCOSITY is one of the fundamental physical properties of blood that has direct influence on its rate of flow. The viscosity varies mainly with the cell-plasma ratio and the plasma protein content and composition. Viscosity of whole blood is dependent on the number of erythrocytes and increases with the hematocrit but at a faster rate. At the same hematocrit, the viscosity is said to be propor...

Viscosity values of albumen reported in the literature are difficult to compare because different shear rates and different methods of sample preparation have been adopted. Therefore, we first investigated the effect of shear rate on the viscosity measurements of thick albumen. For intact albumen, a large intersample fluctuation in viscosity with increasing shear rate was observed. Furthermore,...

the seeds of lepidium sativum (garden cress) were selected as a new source of hydrocolloid and some of its fundamental physico-chemical properties such as intrinsic viscosity and functional group were determined. ftir analysis showed that this polymer was composed of carbohydrate with functional carboxyl and hydroxyl groups. intrinsic viscosity was determined to be 1.33 ml/mg in water. the hydr...

background: the aim of this study was to assess the infl uence of temperature on the viscosity of different endodontic irrigants. materials and methods: the measurements of viscosity of 3% hydrogen peroxide, 0.9% sodium chloride, aqueous solution of 0.2% chlorhexidine (chx) and 0.2% cetrimide, 5% sodium hypochlorite (naocl) and 17% ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (edta) at different temperature...

Research in nanotechnology in the petroleum industry is advancing rapidly and an enormous progress in the application of nanotechnology in this area is to be expected. In particular, adding nanoparticles to fluids may drastically benefit enhanced oil recovery and improve well drilling, by changing the properties of the fluid, rocks wettability alteration, advanced drag reduction, strengthen...
