Simultaneous recordings of intracellular Ca(2+) ([Ca(2+)](i)) signal and extracellular DC potential were obtained from the CA1 region in 1-[6-amino-2-(5-carboxy-2-oxazolyl)-5-benzofuranyloxy]-2-(2-amino-5-methylphenoxy)-ethane-N,N,N',N'-tetraacetic acid penta-acetoxymethyl ester (Fura-2/AM)-loaded rat hippocampal slices. Superfusion with oxygen- and glucose-deprived medium (in vitro ischemia) f...

Recent studies of impinging jet flows have shown that momentum exchange and heat transfer can be significantly improved if the jet flow is pulsed (Zumbrunnen, 1996). Moreover, when the jet holes are elliptical, jet free surfaces are formed into a helical structure. Upon pulsating the jet flow, the helical structure rotates and a strong twisting action can be imparted where the jet strikes a sur...

The Very Long Baseline Array has been used at 15 GHz to image the milliarcsecond structure of the Seyfert galaxies Mrk 231 and Mrk 348 at two epochs separated by about 1.7 yr. Both galaxies contain parsec-scale double radio sources whose components have brightness temperatures of 109–1011 K, implying that they are generated by synchrotron emission. The nuclear components are identified by their...

Laser-induced forward transfer (LIFT) is a high-resolution direct-write technique, which can print a wide range of liquid materials without a nozzle. In this process, a pulsed laser initiates the expulsion of a highvelocity micro-jet of fluid from a thin donor film. LIFT involves a novel regime for impulsively driven free-surface jetting in that viscous forces developed in the thin film become ...

For better discussing and understanding the physical phenomena and body-fluid interaction of water-entry problem, here mechanical-energy transport wedge, fluid, and each other of water-entry model for free falling wedge is studied by numerical method based on free surface capturing method and Cartesian cut cell mesh. In this method, incompressible Euler equations for a variable density fluid ar...
