Abstract At any one time, >60% of the beds in 1,000 bedded CGH is occupied by an elderly >65. Ensuring adequate water intake among patients a challenge. Hence, 90% our inpatients acute wards did not consume recommended daily allowance fluid. Causes for poor consumption included dysphagia requiring thickened fluids, manpower reasons, patient and environmental factors. The Geriatric...

Introdouction: Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) scanning is a technological innovation developed in recent years with potential use in oral surgery and many other dental procedures. The aim of this study is to determine the maxillary sinus mucosal thickening in the maxillary premolar-molar area using the CBCT technique. Materials and methods: In this retrospective study, a total of 105 c...

Due to potential implications, boundary layer analysis of chemically reacting Carreau nanofluid has been carried out examine flow properties ferromagnetic fluid over a stretched sheet in the presence magnetic dipole, for shear thinning and thickening fluids. Furthermore, transportation heat under thermal radiation, generation, Brownian, thermophoresis aspects evaluated. The dimensionless form h...

We study two-dimensional dense granular flows by molecular dynamics simulations. quantify shear-induced diffusion of particles the transverse component particle displacements. In long time scales, displacements are described as normal and obey Gaussian distributions, where correlations velocities entirely vanish. short strongly non-Gaussian if system is sheared quasistatically though memory eff...

purpose: to evaluate the efficacy of riboflavin administration and ultraviolet a (uva) cross-linking on advanced symptomatic bullous keratopathy (bk). methods: 10 patients with symptomatic pseudophakic bullous keratopathy (pbk) were included. slit-lamp examination, visual acuity, foreign body sensation (fbs) and corneal thickness as measured by pentacam, were performed before corneal cross-link...

Abstract Complex fluids exhibit a variety of exotic flow behaviours under high stresses, such as shear thickening and jamming. Rheology is powerful tool to characterise these over the bulk fluid. However, this technique limited in its ability probe fluid behaviour spatially resolved way. Here, we utilise high-speed imaging free-surface geometry drop impact study colloidal suspensions. report ob...

Abstract Magnetorheological (MR) fluids are classified as smart materials whose viscoplastic characteristics change under the magnetic field. They widely applied for dynamic energy dissipation due to their rapid thickening external In this work, core–shell suspension of superparamagnetic iron oxide-based nanoparticles was synthesized and dispersed in silicone oil. Much effort has been made prep...
