Abstract Electron-positron pair production in asymmetric Sauter potential well is studied, where the has been built as width of right edge fixed but left side changeable at different values. We study momentum spectrum, location distribution and total numbers this case compare them with symmetric case. The relationship between created electron energy, level energy bound states photon used to stu...

OBJECTIVE The goal of this research was to compare side-to-side (STS) and end-to-side (ETS) anastomoses in a computer model of the arteriovenous fistula with computational fluid dynamic analysis. METHODS A matrix of 17 computer arteriovenous fistula models (SolidWorks, Dassault Systèmes, France) of artery-vein pairs (3-mm-diameter artery + 3-mm-diameter vein and 4-mm-diameter artery +6-mm-dia...

Abstract Sheet and cloud cavitation involve the formation of large-scale cavities microbubbles across a wide range length scales. In this study, two-way coupling Eulerian-Lagrangian algorithm was utilized to simulate cavitating flow around NACA66 hydrofoil at an incidence 8 degrees number 1.2. The large eddy simulation (LES) volume fraction (VOF) methods are used capture scale vapor structures ...

The aim of this work is to present a new technique for defining interconnected sub-populations of cultured neurons on microelectrode arrays (MEAs). An automated microdrop delivery technique allows to design and realize spatially distributed neuronal ensembles by depositing sub-nanoliter volumes of adhesion molecules in which neurons grow and develop. Electrophysiological tests demonstrate that ...

In response to our work (1), Sauter and Eisner (2) argue, “. . . [our] strong claims . . . are not supported by [our] data.” Herein, we show that their arguments are unsubstantiated, primarily reflecting misunderstandings. Sauter and Eisner argue “. . .[EA] understanding of English emotion terms ... may have been more variable . . . because of varying lexical correspondence . . . as well as . ....

this paper addresses an experimental investigation in the hydrodynamic behavior of a modified slotted sieve tray. slotted sieve tray (push valve sieve tray) is a sieve tray that the push valves have been utilized on the tray deck to eliminate liquid gradients and non-uniformity of liquid distribution on the tray. the air-water system was used in an industrial scale experimental rig with an inte...

the effect of γ-al2o3 nanoparticles on heat transfer rate, baffle spacing and pressure drop in the shell side of small shell and tube heat exchangers was investigated numerically under turbulent regime. γ-al2o3-water nanofluids and pure water were used in the shell side and the tube side of heat exchangers, respectively. since the properties of γ-al2o3-water nanofluids were variable, they were ...

Drop size distributions (DSD) associated with tropical rainfall at Cuddalore in the south-eastern part of India have been measured by a JossWaldvogel disdrometer (RD–80 model) during September to November 2002. The rainfall data corrected for instrumental error, matches very well with rainfall rates measured by a self recording raingauge, at the same site. For further analysis of the DSD, the r...

We have tested a new fiber-optic pressure recording system, Samba, with a thin fiber [outer diameter (OD) = 0.25 mm] and a pressure sensor (length and OD = 0.42 mm) attached to the end. The accuracy of the system tested in vitro was good, with a coefficient of variation of 2.54% at 100 mmHg. The drift was <0.45 mmHg/h, and the temperature sensitivity was approximately 0.07 mmHg/1 degrees C betw...
