We introduce a model for ionic electrodiffusion and osmotic water flow through cells and tissues. The model consists of a system of partial differential equations for ionic concentration and fluid flow with interface conditions at deforming membrane boundaries. The model satisfies a natural energy equality, in which the sum of the entropic, elastic and electrostatic free energies are dissipated...

abstract: in this study, response surface methodology was used to optimize ultrasound osmotic pretreatment with finished freeze drying of black cherries. freeze drying is a separation process based on the  sublimation phenomenon. this process has the following advantages as compared to the conventional drying process, maintenance of the structure, moisture removal at low temperature (reduced tr...

The elastic shear modulus of monodisperse emulsions is shown to exhibit a universal dependence on droplet volume fraction f when scaled by the Laplace pressure of the droplets, increasing as fsf 2 fcd, where fc ø 0.635, the value of random close packing of solid spheres. Surprisingly the osmotic pressure required to compress the emulsions to increase f is nearly the same as the shear modulus ov...

In this work, the structural and elastic moduli properties of ZnFe2O4, Zn0.5Cu0.5Fe2O4, and Ni0.3Cu0.2Zn0.5Fe2O4 ferrites prepared by the citrate method have been investigated. The structuralcharacterization of the samples is evidence for a cubic structure with Fd-3m space group. TheHalder-Wagner analysis was used to study crystallite sizes and lattice strain and also stressand energy density. ...

the main purpose of cementing of the well is to provide effective zonal isolation for the entire life of wells. the standard cements cannot prevent loss of zonal isolation when the stress level in the well cement is severely fluctuated. since elastic cements improve elastic properties, recently, a number of studies have been done in this area. for this purpose, a nanoparticle, named ex-ripi, wa...

In a commutative, cancellative, atomic monoid M , the elasticity of a non-unit x is defined to be ρ(x) = L(x)/l(x), where L(x) is the supremum of the lengths of factorizations of x into irreducibles and l(x) is the corresponding infimum. The elasticity ρ(M) of M is given as the supremum of the elasticities of the nonzero non-units in the domain. We call ρ(M) accepted if there exists a non-unit ...

The osmotic coefficient of B-DNA in water may, in moderately dilute solutions, deviate as much as 100 % from predictions based on a simple ’counterion condensation’ theory. We determine the results for osmotic properties via a cell model description of the ionic atmosphere near a cylindrical polyelectrolyte. The cell model predictions for the osmotic properties disagree with predictions based o...

in this research, the influence of adding micro- and nano- sized calcium carbonate powders to nylon-66 was investigated. mechanical properties of micro and nano- composites, including tensile strength, elongation, and young’s modulus, before and after ageing, were determined and analyzed. for this purpose, micro- and nano-sized caco3 particles were used as fillers to prepare micro-composites (c...
