Introduction: Microbubbles are widely used as contrast agent in diagnostic ultrasound. Recently they have shown good potential for applications in the therapeutic field such as drug delivery to the brain. Recent studies have shown focused ultrasound in conjunction with injected micro-bubbles could temporarily disrupt blood-brain barrier and let therapeutic agents transport into...

pore pressure is an important parameter, in exploration and production of hydrocarbon resources. lack of accurate knowledge about pore pressure, before drilling phase, leads to serious dangers in drilling process. accurate knowledge about distribution of pore pressure in a field, leads to reduce risks in drilling, improve well planning and mud weight calculations. during burial, normally pressu...

Measurements show that silo wall pressures exhibit large fluctuations in time and space during discharge of the silo. This observation is important for the design of the silo wall because spatial pressure variations may impose substantial bending moments that otherwise may be small or vanishing due to the carrying ability of the membrane forces in the silo wall. Information about the stochastic...
