introduction breeding quail and quail egg industrial production because of the high nutritional value of these products has been developing these years. considering the high demand and economical production, further development in the future is predicted. in order to design and effective utilization of the equipment for transportation, separation, packaging and storage, the physical and mechani...

A laser trap was used to compare the load-dependent binding kinetics between truncated P- and L-selectin to their natural ligand, P-selectin glycoprotein ligand-1 (PSGL-1) over the predicted physiological range of loading rates. Human PSGL-1 was covalently coupled to polystyrene beads. Chimeric selectins were adsorbed to nitrocellulose-coated glass beads on a coverslip. A PSGL-1 bead was held i...

The rupture of a liquid film on a solid surface and of a free liquid film have been studied using hydrodynamic stability theory. The films are not thicker than several hundred hgstrom. A sinall perturbation applied to the free interface generates motions in the film, and the assumption is made that the NavierStokes equations can be used to describe them. The difference in forces acting upon an ...

background : the liver which is a vascular organ can easily be lacerated or crushed, depending on the severity of trauma. case report: a 55 year-old lady who fell down was taken to a hospital within one hour and died two hours post-trauma. an autopsy revealed rupture a large sub capsular vascular lesion situated on the right lobe of liver with hemoperitoneum. there was a deep contusion on the a...

We use a modified conducting atomic force microscope to simultaneously probe the conductance of a single-molecule junction and the force required to rupture the junction formed by alkanes terminated with four different chemical link groups which vary in binding strength and mechanism to the gold electrodes. Molecular junctions with amine, methylsulfide, and diphenylphosphine terminated molecule...

Using Langevin dynamics simulations, we study effects of the shear force on the rupture of a double stranded DNA molecule. The model studied here contains two single diblock copolymers interacting with each other. The elastic constants of individual segments of diblock copolymer are considered to be different. We showed that the magnitude of the rupture force depends on whether the force is app...

Achilles tendon ruptures are treated with an initial period of immobilization, which obstructs the healing process partly by a reduction of blood circulation. Intermittent pneumatic compression (IPC) has been proposed to enhance tendon repair by stimulation of blood flow. We hypothesized that daily IPC treatment can counteract the deficits caused by 2 weeks of immobilization post tendon rupture...
