The fluid-structure interaction problems of two side-by-side flexible plates with a finite aspect ratio in a three-dimensional (3D) uniform flow are numerically studied. The plates’ motions are entirely passive under the force of surrounding fluid. By changing the aspect ratio and transverse distance, the coupling motions, drag force and energy capture performance are analyzed. The mechanisms u...

BACKGROUND Considering that ELISA method presently is the test of choice for diagnosis of fasciolosis, the present study was undertaken to evaluate the maximum validity of coated plates at different temperatures and different times during one year of evaluation. METHODS Serum samples of patients infected with fasciolosis (n=10), hydatidosis (n=5), toxocariasis (n=5), and negative control sera...

The abundance of ions is an essential parameter for ion mobility and mass spectrometry instrument design the control or optimization chemical reactions with reactant ions. This information also advances study atmospheric pressure kinetics under continuous ionization, which has a role in developing trace level analyzers. In this study, ionization chamber described to measure produced by 4.9 keV,...

The present paper explores the factors influencing efficiency of an HHO-gas-electrolyzer. experiments were held in respective laboratory at Technical University Varna with a principal focus on two these –i.e., distance between plates and number wet electrolyzer. scientific tests performed all remaining conditions being constant appropriate results obtained visualized to disclose most efficient ...

We evaluate the Casimir energy and force for a massive scalar field with general curvature coupling parameter, subject to Robin boundary conditions on two codimension-one parallel plates, located on a (D + 1)-dimensional background spacetime with an arbitrary internal space. The most general case of different Robin coefficients on the two separate plates is considered. With independence of the ...

A new beta-lactamase assay method with agar plates containing pyridinium-2-azo-p-dimethylaniline chromophore (PADAC) (50 microM), a beta-lactamase-labile, chromogenic cephalosporin, was examined. On the PADAC plates inoculated with beta-lactamase-producing gram-negative bacteria (10(4) CFU per spot) and incubated at 37 degrees C, a yellow zone showing hydrolysis of PADAC by beta-lactamase was f...

The (nine) valid species of Japanagallia Ishihara, 1955 from Guizhou, and Yunnan Provinces, and Guangxi Autonomous Region of Southwest China are reviewed and four new species J. gracilenta sp. nov., J. neohamata sp. nov., J. trifurcata sp. nov. and J. viraktamathi sp. nov. are described and illustrated. These species can be distinguished by unique features of the aedeagus. J. hamata Zhang & Li,...

Morphine and tramadol which have analgesic effects can be administered acutely or chronically. This study tried to investigate the effect of these drugs at various times by using different methods of administration (intraperitoneal, oral, acute and chronic). Sixty adult female rats were divided into six groups. They received saline, morphine or tramadol (20 to 125 mg/Kg) daily for 15 days. A ho...

Functionally graded porous (FGP) plates have been introduced as modern structural members which open a new window to optimal and functional designs. Despite the need study effect of porosity on mechanical behavior FGP plates, it is necessary consider very extensive valuable literature in this field, presenting remarkable closed-form solutions. Hence, paper aims answer where possible implement a...
