Stirred tanks are often used in industrial applications to store and process liquids solids. However, these systems have become an increasing challenge improve optimize processes. Computational Fluids Dynamics (CFD) simulation predicts complex phenomena as hydrodynamics system performance. An optimal solution is found using effective mesh scheme selecting appropriate boundary conditions. This w...

It is challenging to measure the hydrodynamics of stirred tank reactors when they contain multiphase flows comprising liquid, gas bubbles and particles. Radioactive particle tracking techniques such as positron emission (PEPT) are only established determine internal flow behaviour due inherent opacity density fluid vessel walls. The profiles solids an important tool for robust reactor design op...

The global pandemic of COVID-19 has exhausted many citizens around the world, especially health care workers. In times like these, mindfulness and compassion are necessary to heal people. GRACE is a program that healthcare professionals can easily use in clinical practice. This was developed by Roshi Joan Halifax, Ph.D., Buddhist teacher, Zen priest, anthropologist, Cynda Rushton, Bunting Chair...

ABSTRACT Objectives We have previously shown that the cartilage DNA methylome delineates two clusters of osteoarthritic (OA) hip patients, characterised by differential methylation of inflammatory genes, while others have demonstrated a link between zinc homeostasis and inflammation in OA. We aimed to investigate...

Perceiving three-dimensional object motion while moving through the world is hard: not only must optic flow be segmented and parallax resolved into shape and motion, but also observer motion needs to be taken into account in order to perceive absolute, rather than observer-relative motion. In order to simplify the last step, it has recently been suggested that if the visual background is statio...

Recent advancements in signal and image processing have reduced the time of diagnoses, effort and pressure on the screeners by providing auto diagnostic tools for different diseases. The success rate of these tools greatly depend on the quality of acquired images. Bad image quality can significantly reduce the specificity and the sensitivity which in turn forces screeners back to their tedious ...
