Field observations of maturely slipped faults show a generally broad zone of damage by cracking and granulation. Nevertheless, large shear deformation, and therefore heat generation, in individual earthquakes takes place with extreme localization to a zone <1–5 mm wide within a finely granulated fault core. Relevant fault weakening processes during large crustal events are therefore likely to b...

A pressure ulcer is a localized injury to the skin or underlying tissue, usually over a bony prominence, as a result of unrelieved pressure. Predisposing factors are classified as intrinsic (e.g., limited mobility, poor nutrition, comorbidities, aging skin) or extrinsic (e.g., pressure, friction, shear, moisture). Prevention includes identifying at-risk persons and implementing specific prevent...

AIMS To study the nature of fibroepithelial polyps of the vagina. METHODS Sixty five fibroepithelial polyps of the vagina and 64 granulation tissue polyps diagnosed over 15 years were reviewed histologically. RESULTS Cytologically benign multinucleated stromal cells were present in large numbers in 19 of the fibroepithelial polyps of the vagina (FEPV). Only one polyp contained atypical stro...

Granular computing deals with representation of information in the form of some aggregates and related methods for transformation and analysis for problem solving. A granulation scheme based on clustering and Rough Set Theory is presented with focus on structured conceptualization of information has been presented in this paper. Experiments for the proposed method on four labeled data exhibit g...

In this work, a stable NiFe2O4 paraffin based ferrofluid was prepared via high energy milling. The rheological properties of ferrofluid were studied. Bingham plastic, HerschelBulkley and Casson models were used to evaluate the shear stress-shear rate dependency. The ferrofluid exhibited a shear thinning behaviour for all studied magnetic field. The magneto-viscous effect and thixotropy of...

The interaction of magnetic elds and convection is investigated in the context of the coronal heating problem. We study the motions of photospheric magnetic elements using a time series of high resolution G-band and continuum ltergrams obtained at the Swedish Vacuum Solar Telescope at La Palma. The G-band images show bright points arranged in linear structures (\ ligree") which are located in t...

Ondansetron is the first of a new class of drugs, selective serotonin receptor antagonist (5 hydroxy tryptamine type 3) used as an anti emetic associated with cancer chemotherapy. Its Orally Disintegrating Tablet has been developed for patients who find swallowing difficult by freeze dried technology by RP Scherer Corporation and Scherer DDS. The aim of this study was to design a new orally dis...

We report evidence for the granulation signal in the star Procyon A, based on two photometric time series from the star tracker on the WIRE satellite. The power spectra show evidence of excess power around 1mHz, consistent with the detection of p-modes reported from radial velocity measurements. We see a significant increase in the noise level below 3mHz, which we interpret as the granulation s...

Four methods were tried in order to reduce the growth of granulation tissue on the dura. The best results were obtained using white petrolatum jelly, which almost completely suppressed the growth of granulation tissue when the recording chamber was filled with petrolatum. Collagen and acrylic seals were very effective in one monkey. Panalog ointment slowed the growth of granulation tissue; pref...

Closed-Circuit Granulation by a Single Horizontal Rotating Conical Vessel -Effect of Circulating Load Ratio on the Properties of Products by Masunori SUGIMOTO* and Hideki NAKAZAWA** In order to investigate the effect of the circulating load ratio CL on the properties of granule products in a closed-circuit granulation system, the relationship between CL and the residence time distribution of pa...
