in industry, flow instabilities are important in journal bearings at high rotational speeds. for inviscid flows between two rotating coaxial cylinders, an instability criterion was introduced by taylor-couette. however, viscosity may play as stabilizer or destabilize in such flows. in this work, stability theories were reviewed for two coaxial rotating cylinders. then, flow instability patterns...

Hyperactivity of noradrenergic locus coeruleus (LC) neurons following withdrawal from chronic opiates has been implicated in the opiate withdrawal syndrome. Here, we report that local withdrawal induced in vivo by microinfusion of an opiate antagonist into the LC of morphine-dependent rats marginally, but significantly, activated LC neurons above the level obtained with local naloxone microinfu...
