One of the most important fluid phenomena observed in the left ventricle during diastole is the presence of vortex rings that develop with a strong jet entering through the mitral valve. The present study is focused on the rapid filling phase of diastole, during which the left ventricle expands and receives blood through the fully open mitral valve. The atrioventricular system during the rapid ...

We show that the 3D wedge filling transition in the presence of shortranged interactions can be first-order or second order depending on the strength of the line tension associated with to the wedge bottom. This fact implies the existence of a tricritical point characterized by a short-distance expansion which differs from the usual continuous filling transition. Our analysis is based on an eff...

An organic Rankine cycle (ORC) is a power cycle employing an organic working fluid. The term ORC is also applied generally to any Rankine cycle with a low-grade heat source (80° – 300 o C). Because ORC are often employed in small-scale applications, use of positive displacement equipment is favored over the centrifugal units used in large-scale power plants. A key feature of a positive displace...

PURPOSE To investigate the imaging characteristics, prevalence, and clinical significance of arachnoid granulations in the transverse and sigmoid venous sinuses. METHODS We reviewed the imaging findings, clinical signs and symptoms, final diagnoses, and follow-up studies of 32 patients with 41 probable arachnoid granulations. RESULTS On CT scans, arachnoid granulations appear as well-define...

UNLABELLED Providing adequate indoor air quality while reducing energy consumption is a must for efficient ventilation system design. In this work, we study the transport of particulate contaminants in a displacement-ventilated space, using the idealized 'emptying filling box' model (P.F. Linden, G.F. Lane-serff and D.A. Smeed (1990) Emptying filling boxes: the fluid mechanics of natural ventil...

Aim of the Study The aim of this study was to compare and evaluate the sealing ability of four root end filling materials mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA)-Plus, Biodentine, MTA (MTA Angelus) and glass ionomer cement (GIC) using fluid filtration method. Materials and Methods Forty-four extracted, human single-rooted teeth were collected. The crown of each tooth was decoronated 2 mm above the c...

The paper presents the computational fluid dynamics simulation of an external gear pump for power applications. aim study is to test capability model evaluate pressure in a tooth space entire shaft revolution and minimum inlet complete filling. takes into account internal leakages two different configurations thrust plates have been considered. simulations operating conditions validated with pr...

statement of the problem: insolubility is an important criterion for an ideal root-end filling material to both prevent any microleakage between the root canal and the periradicular space and provide sealing ability. purpose: many recent studies have shown that mineral trioxide aggregate (mta) and calcium-enriched mixture (cem) have acceptable sealing ability. the purpose of this in vitro study...

Therapeutic proteins are used to successfully treat hemophilia, Crohn’s Disease, diabetes, and cancer. Recent product recalls have occurred because of sub-visible particle formation resulting from the inherent instability of proteins. It has been suggested that particle formation is associated with late stage processing steps of filling, shipping, and delivery. Previous work at the University o...
