Dear Editor: Miyamoto et al show that intravitreal triamcinolone reduces macular edema as early as 1 hour after injection. They suggest that the time pattern demands that nongenomic mechanisms must be involved in the therapeutic effect of triamcinolone on retinal edema. Vasogenic edema in all tissues, including the retina, may be understood in terms of Starling’s law, by which the balance of hy...

Finite element models of tissue engineering scaffolds are powerful tools to understand scaffold function, including how external mechanical signals deform the scaffold at the meso- and microscales. Fiber geometry is needed to inform finite element models of fiber-based tissue engineering scaffolds; however, the accuracy and utility of these models may be limited if they are informed by non-hydr...

Tortuosity in packed beds or porous media is of significant interest many fields, from geoscience to the chemical industry. plays a role mass transport media, but also their residual thermal electric conductivity when particles are not conducting. Several predictive models have been proposed evaluate tortuosity, there still gap it comes considering various particle shapes. The preponderance tor...

Previous micro-scale studies of the effect pore structure on spontaneous imbibition are mainly limited to invariable-diameter capillaries. However, in real oil and gas reservoir formations, capillary diameters changing interconnected. Applying lattice Boltzmann color gradient two-phase flow model parallel computation CPUs, we simulated variable-diameter We explored reasons for nonwetting phase ...

Abstract Because of the complicated structure, traditional Euclidean geometry is difficult to accurately describe inner distribution pore soil. According fractal laws structure in porous media, a popular capillary model was presented study three phase heat transfer unsaturated Considering soil size and its tortuosity, by using method about tortuosity depict scaling relationships, aim this paper...
