During urinary bladder filling the bladder urothelium releases chemical mediators that in turn transmit information to the nervous and muscular systems to regulate sensory sensation and detrusor muscle activity. Defects in release of urothelial mediators may cause bladder dysfunctions that are characterized with aberrant bladder sensation during bladder filling. Previous studies have demonstrat...

introduction: adequate root canal seal following retreatment is essential for a successful outcome. resilon/epiphany (r/e) obturation system has been introduced as a substitute for conventional gutta-percha/sealer method. this in vitro study compared the amount of apical microleakage of r/e with gutta-percha/ah26 (gp/ah26) sealer as secondary root canal filling following retreatment in human te...

To relate the subcellular molecular events to organ level physiology in heart, we have developed a three-dimensional finite-element-based simulation program incorporating the cellular mechanisms of excitation-contraction coupling and its propagation, and simulated the fluid-structure interaction involved in the contraction and relaxation of the human left ventricle. The FitzHugh-Nagumo model an...

In this paper the heat transfer characteristics of a two-phase closed thermosyphon over a wide range of heat transfer rates, system pressure, aspect ratios and filling ratios were studied. The experiments focused on the boiling and condensation heat transfer characteristics of the thermosyphon. The experimental boiling and condensation heat transfer coefficients inside the thermosyphon were com...

The mining-induced overburden bed separation grouting technique can control surface subsidence through the high-pressure and filling into during mining. physical simulation method be used to objectively reproduce dynamic migration process of slurry in but traditional similar-simulation materials are not suitable for grouting. Considering water disintegration, weak storage capacity, poor permeab...
