We present a micromixer fabricated using MEMS technology which takes advantage of electroosmosis to mix fluids. A time dependent electric field is applied and the resulting electroosmosis perturbs the low Reynolds number flow. It is shown that the electric field can be deemed quasi-steady and the electroosmotic slip boundary condition can be applied when the incompressible Navier Stokes equatio...

Electroosmotic flow (EOF) commonly involves inhomogeneous fluids in practical applications. EOF hysteresis, which is defined as direction-dependent behavior, has been extensively investigated for dissimilar solution pair systems. Hitherto, there no investigation being conducted to examine the effect of microchannel diameter on hysteresis phenomenon. In this investigation, current monitoring exp...

objective: the goal of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of intraperitoneal (jp) cisplatin as consolidation treatment, in epithelial ovarian cancer patients with pathologically negative surgical reassessment, following first-line platinum-based chemotherapy. methods: this study included 22 patients with figo stage (iic- iv) epithelial ovarian cancer (eoc) which had no evidence of disease a...

a retrospective study was done on 130 aml patients treated in shariati and imam hospitals in tehran from 1991 to 1997 to investigate the value of three post-remission methods of treatment. all patients who were in complete remission (cr) (group i) had been treated with ara-c (300 mg/m2/day continuous infusion for 5 days) and daunorubicine (45 mg/m2/day for 3 days) as induction and early consoli...
