The recirculation zone created through vortex breakdown mechanisms in swirling flows plays a vital role for aerodynamic stabilization of turbulent flames practical combustion systems. This interacts with the central (CRZ) an upstream bluff body and this leads to complex flow behavior that depends on blockage ratio swirl number. It has been previously observed bubble (VBB) merges CRZ at large nu...

Introduction By using the Dynamic Susceptibility Contrast (DSC) method for MR perfusion imaging, relative cerebral blood volume maps are obtained from integrating the first pass area of the local tissue concentration time curve CT(t). However, because of relatively high heart rate and fast circulation in small animal experiments, CT peak changes quickly and results in only few data points for q...

We present a bolus method of inert-gas delivery to the lungs that facilitates application of multiple inert gases and the multiple inert-gas-exchange technique (MIGET) model to noninvasive measurements of cardiac output (CO) and central mixed venous oxygen content Reduction in recirculation error is made possible by 1) replacement of sinusoidal input functions with impulse inputs and 2) replace...

A distributed model of solid waste digestion in a 1-D bioreactor with leachate recirculation and pH adjustment was developed to analyze the balance between the rates of polymer hydrolysis/acidogenesis and methanogenesis during the anaerobic digestion of municipal solid waste (MSW). The model was calibrated on previously published experimental data generated in 2-L reactors filled with shredded ...

plastic recycling is the process of recovering scrap or waste plastics and reprocessing thematerial into useful products that sometimes differ completely in form from their original state. an importantissue in plastic recovery and recycling is that plastic waste usually contains a variety of plastics that differ intheir physical and chemical properties. separation of recovered plastics into dis...

Perfusion systems have the possibility to be operated continuously for several months. It is important that the performance of the cell retention device does not limit the operation time of a perfusion process used in the production of active pharmaceutical ingredients. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the reliability and long-term stability of an acoustic perfusion process u...

We study the red-optical photometry of ultra-hot Jupiter WASP-121 b as observed by Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) and model its atmosphere through a radiative transfer simulation. Given short orbital period $\sim1.275$ days, inflated state bright host star, is exceptionally favorable for detailed atmospheric characterization. Towards this purpose, we use \texttt{allesfitter} to ch...

Cerebral ischemia is known to be accompanied by brain edema. This increase in brain tissue water content probably influences the final outcome of an ischemic insult negatively. Despite extensive investigations on different aspects of brain edema, information on edema development during the early recirculation period following ischemia is sparse. We assessed changes in brain water content, as re...

Advances in technology, the desire to minimize blood product transfusions, and concerns relating to inflammatory mediators have lead many practitioners and manufacturers to minimize cardiopulmonary bypass (CBP) circuit designs. The oxygenator and arterial line filter (ALF) have been integrated into one device as a method of attaining a reduction in prime volume and surface area. The instruction...
