The sequestration of rat leukocytes and bone marrow cells by the lung vasculature was studied using an isolated perfused rat lung preparation. The passage of latex particles of 7.6 µm in diameter and non-hematopoietic cells through the lung blood vessels was also studied. Leukocytes and bone marrow cells were reversibly sequestered from circulation, whereas, latex particles and non-hematop...

A primitive-equation model has been used to investigate the meteorologically-driven circulation of the Bay of Algeciras. It is shown that the mean circulation of Atlantic Water (AW) is characterized by an anticyclonic cell, while Mediterranean Water (MW) follows a preferred cyclonic pathway. Meteorological forcing distorts substantially the AW mean circulation pattern, and only modulates that o...

The impact of long-term sea surface temperature (SST) change on the atmospheric circulation is studied by comparing atmospheric general circulation model (AGCM) simulations forced with a spatially uniform SST increase and a structured SST increase. The structured SST increase is calculated from the response of an ensemble of coupled ocean-atmosphere models to increased CO2. Most of the impact o...

Abstract Matsuno–Gill circulations have been widely studied in tropical meteorology, but their impact on stratospheric chemistry has seldom explicitly evaluated. This study demonstrates that, a model nudged to reanalysis, anticyclonic Rossby wave gyres that form near the tropopause as result of equatorially symmetric heating troposphere provide dynamical mechanism influence and subtropical atmo...

AIMS To describe different patterns of retinal collateral circulation observed in normal subjects and in patients with a variety of ocular diseases during studies with the retinal functional imager (RFI). METHODS Normal subjects and patients with various ocular diseases underwent retinal blood flow imaging using the retinal functional imager. RESULTS Twenty-eight eyes of 21 patients constit...
