We have developed and tested a numerical model for turbulence resolving simulations of dense mud–water mixtures in oscillatory bottom boundary layers, based on low Stokes number formulation the two-phase equations. The resulting non-Boussinesq equation fluid momentum is coupled to transport mud volumetric concentration, giving rise volume-averaged velocity that non-solenoidal, was implemented a...

Electron microscopy was used to evaluate the function and formation of dense core lysosomes. Lysosomes were preloaded with bovine serum albumin (BSA)-gold conjugates by fluid phase endocytosis using a pulse-chase protocol. The gold particles present in dense core lysosomes and late endosomes were flocculated, consistent with proteolytic degradation of the BSA. A second pulse of BSA-gold also ac...

background: serological assay based on dense granular (gra) proteins of toxoplasma gondii (t. gondii) is actually the most popular laboratory diagnostic tool to detection of toxoplasmosis. we aimed to construct a recombinant gra7-ptz57rt plasmid vectors that it is suitable for sub-cloning and gra7 protein production. m aterials and methods: souris mice were used for maintaining of t. gondii tac...

A dense mixture of granules and liquid often shows a severe shear thickening and is called a dilatant fluid. We construct a fluid dynamics model for the dilatant fluid by introducing a phenomenological state variable for a local state of dispersed particles. With simple assumptions for an equation of the state variable, we demonstrate that the model can describe basic features of the dilatant f...

At subduction zones, the deep seismogenic transition from a frictionally locked to steady sliding interface is thought to primarily reflect changes in rheology and fluid pressure and is generally located offshore. The development of fluid pressures within a seismic low-velocity layer (LVL) remains poorly constrained due to the scarcity of dense, continuous onshore-offshore broadband seismic arr...

By means of extensive coupled molecular dynamics-lattice Boltzmann simulations, accounting for grain dynamics and subparticle resolution of the fluid phase, we analyze steady inertial granular flows sheared by a viscous fluid. We show that, for a broad range of system parameters (shear rate, confining stress, fluid viscosity, and relative fluid-grain density), the frictional strength and packin...

We extend the applicability range of fermionic path integral Monte Carlo simulations to heavier elements and lower temperatures by introducing various localized nodal surfaces. Hartree-Fock nodes yield the most accurate prediction for pressure and internal energy, which we combine with the results from density functional molecular dynamics simulations to obtain a consistent equation of state fo...

We study the routing problem in massively dense static adhoc networks as the node density increases. We use a fluid approximation in which the graph providing the available routes becomes so dense that it can be approximated by a continuous area which inherits from the original problem the cost structure: a cost density is defined at each point on the limit plain; it is a function of the locati...

We present a technique for the illustrative rendering of 3D line data at interactive frame rates. We create depth-dependent halos around lines to emphasize tight line bundles while less structured lines are de-emphasized. Moreover, the depth-dependent halos combined with depth cueing via line width attenuation increase depth perception, extending techniques from sparse line rendering to the ill...
