In this study, a numerical examination of the significance of rotation and changeable gravitational field on the start of nanofluid convective movement in an anisotropic porous medium layer is shown. A model that accounts for the impact of Brownian diffusion and thermophoresis is used for nanofluid, while Darcy’s law is taken for the porous medium. The porous layer is subjected to uniform rotat...

We document the acoustics of the four Mangetti Dune !Xung coronal clicks. We report the temporal measures of burst duration, relative burst amplitude and rise time, as well as the spectral value of center of gravity in the click bursts. COG correlates with lingual cavity volume. We show that there is inter-speaker variation in the acoustics of the palatal click, which we expect to correlate wit...

Nomenclature AoA = Angle of Attack CDF = Cumulative Distribution Function CoG = Center of Gravity CoV = Coefficient of Variation DLR = Deutsches Zentrum fuer Luftund Raumfahrt (German Aerospace Center) hb = ratio of vehicle bottom height to vehicle height hb2 = height parameter, s. Appendix A H = height of vehicle KS = Kolmogorov-Smirnov distance L = length of vehicle L/Dmax = maximum lift-to-d...

Bilabial, alveolar and velar sounds are produced at different locations around the oral cavity. fMRI was used to localize cortical representation of articulation in seven healthy subjects during repetitive lip and vertical tongue movements as well as repetitive articulation of /pa/ (bilabial), /ta/ (alveolar), /ka/ (velar consonants) and a combination of all three in /pataka/. Centers of gravit...

objectives: inflammation is a common complication in patients treated with hemodialysis and increasing in inflammatory factors such as c-reactive protein (crp) is associated with increased cardiovascular disease and mortality in these patients. the purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of oral l- carnitine supplementation on serum crp concentration and fasting blood sugar (fbs) in...

The human body's posture control is a complex system of organs and mechanisms which controls the body's centre of gravity (COG) over its base of support (BOS). Computerised Dynamic Posturography (CDP) allows for the quantitative and objective assessment of the sensory and motor components of the body's posture control system as well as of the integration and adaptation mechanisms in the central...
