this work is a primary achievement in studying the co2 and n2–oil systems. to predict gas-liquid relative permeability curves, a shan-chen type multicomponent multiphase lattice boltzmann model for two-phase flow through 2d porous media is developed. periodic and bounce back boundary conditions are applied to the model with the guo scheme for the external body force (i.e., the pressure gradient...

29 Low circulating IGF-I is associated with increased fracture risk. Conditional depletion 30 of IGF-I produced in osteoblasts or osteocytes inhibits the bone anabolic effect of 31 mechanical loading. Here, we determined the role of endocrine IGF-I for the 32 osteogenic response to mechanical loading in young adult and old female mice with 33 adult, liver-specific IGF-I inactivation (LI-IGF-I m...

The use of lasers has become increasingly common in the field Background of medicine and dentistry, and there is a growing need for a deeper understanding of the procedure and its effects on tissue. The aim of this study was to compare the erbium-doped yttrium aluminium garnet (Er:YAG) laser and conventional drilling techniques, by observing the effects on trabecular bone microarchitecture and ...

Micro-arc oxidation (MAO) is very effective to enhance the corrosion performance of Mg alloys. However, micro-pores in MAO coatings provide a channel for medium reach alloy matrix. In this work, electron beam strengthening (EBS) performed improve microstructure and coating prepared subsequently performance. The crystalline size decreases, roughness improves, resistance increases. Furthermore, r...

Pinewood sawdust was pyrolyzed to create a micro-nanocarbon. The adsorbent’s particle size reduced during ball milling procedure improve the surface area and encourage porosity growth. synergistic effects of micro-nano-adsorbent-reinforced poly(lactic acid) (PLA) composites were investigated by analyzing efficiency rheological process. properties prepared also examined using various characteriz...

Anomalous velocity and porosity are often indicators of abnormal pore pressure. It is important, therefore, to be able to link velocity to porosity and rock texture in a rational, firstprinciple-based manner. The critical porosity concept allows for building such rock physics models. Critical porosity is the porosity above which the rock can exist only as a suspension. In sandstones the critica...

In this paper, we report an analysis of pressed paper in terms of porosity and permeability. Previously, we reported a pressed paper that exhibits decreased porosity and permeability. Additionally, its applications into programmed sample delivery as well as flow rate control were reported. However, there is a need for a theoretical analysis of pressed paper in terms of porosity and permeability...

Teriparatide [human parathyroid hormone (1-34)], which exerts an anabolic effect on bone, is used for the treatment of osteoporosis in patients who are at a high risk for fracture. That the once-daily administration of teriparatide causes an increase in cortical porosity in animal models and clinical studies has been a matter of concern. However, it is not well documented that the frequency of ...

The present study reveals that the conventional notion that thermal contact resistance increases with porosity does not necessary hold. It is proved through a mechanistic robust model that, under specific circumstances, the porosities of two contacting bodies attain a critical value beyond which the contact resistance counter-intuitively drops. The model focuses on micro porous layers (MPLs) co...
