To precisely quantify the fundamental interactions between heterogeneous lipid membranes with coexisting liquid-ordered (Lo) and liquid-disordered (Ld) domains, we performed detailed osmotic stress small-angle x-ray scattering experiments by exploiting the domain alignment in raft-mimicking lipid multibilayers. Performing a Monte Carlo-based analysis allowed us to determine with high reliabilit...

ABSTRACT: In this study the reliability of using response surface-neural network method to predict the osmotic dehydration properties of crookneck squash has been investigated. In order to carry out this project, the osmotic solution concentration, the osmotic solution temperature and immersion time were chosen as inputs and solid gain and water loss were selected as outputs of the designed net...

the electro-osmotic consolidation is a method to improve geotechnical properties of soft clayey soils. the feasibility of electro–osmotically induced consolidation can be examined through the soil coefficient of electro–osmotic permeability (ke) and the electro–osmotic coefficient of water transport (ki). using an electro-osmotic testing cell, ke and ki parameters were measured in urmia lake we...

This paper reports a theoretical analysis of osmotic transients and an experimental evaluation both of rapid time resolution of lumen to bath osmosis and of bidirectional steady-state osmosis in isolated rabbit cortical collecting tubules exposed to antidiuretic hormone (ADH). For the case of a membrane in series with unstirred layers, there may be considerable differences between initial and s...

where Qf is the net transvascular fluid flow, K is the fluid filtration coefficient, P is the hydrostatic pressure in the microvascular* lumen (mv) and perimicrovascular* interstitial fluid (pmv), respectively; a is a weighted plasma protein reflection coefficient which determines the "effective" transvascular protein osmotic pressure difference; and II is the protein osmotic pressure in the pl...

The possibility of immersion clearing of human blood in visible and NIR spectral range has been discussed. Based on presented model the spectral behavior of scattering and absorption characteristics of blood caused by immersion properties of glucose solution has been analyzed. The influence of osmotic properties of glucose solution on blood erythrocytes has been shown. Keyword: blood, scatterin...
