Microfluidic approaches to microbubble production are generally disadvantaged by low yield and high susceptibility to (micro)channel blockages. This paper presents an alternative method of producing microbubbles of 2.6 μm mean diameter at concentrations in excess of 30 × 10(6) mL(-1). In this method, the nitrogen gas flowing inside the liquid jet is disintegrated into spray of microbubble when ...

Consider an agent taking two successive decisions to maximize his expected utility under uncertainty. After his first decision, a signal is revealed that provides information about the state of nature. The observation of the signal allows the decision-maker to revise his prior and the second decision is taken accordingly. Assuming that the first decision is a scalar representing consumption, th...

The development and study of strains of Penicillium chrysogenum that give high yields of penicillin has been a major project at the University of Wisconsin during the past 12 years. Many thousands of cultures have been screened for their penicillin-producing ability in the Botany Department of the University. The methods used for the production and screening of mutants, the genealogy of the out...

in this research, the effect of using vermicompost on growth rate, fertility and characteristics oftomatoes has been studied. four vermicompost: soil mixture were supplied with ratios of 1:1, 1:2, 1:3, and 1:4 and also four different beds were provided. total of 24 small globe tomato plants were tested and in each bed combination, six tomato plants were embedded. rate of growth and yielding of ...

We explore the implications of refinements in the mechanical description of planetary constituents on the convection modes predicted by finite element simulations. The refinements consist in the inclusion of incremental elasticity, plasticity (yield ing) and multiple simultaneous creep mechanisms in addition to the usual visco-plastic models employed in the context of unified plate-mantle model...

background: cardiovascular system is a very importantorgan that plays a vital role in tissue function. in farm animals,the growth and high milk production depends on function ofcardiovascular system. objectives: cardiovascular health inhigh and low-yielding dairy cows was investigated. methods:fifty 4-year-old high- yielding holstein dairy cows and fifty 4-year-old low- yielding holstein dairy ...
