Two centrifuge experiments were conducted at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI) to evaluate and assess the validity of generalized scaling laws. The performed within framework Liquefaction Experiments Analysis Project (LEAP) consisted testing a saturated sloping deposit subjected tapered base input acceleration. two tested models reflected consistent soil conditions but built based on diffe...

LEVEL: INTERMEDIATE P roduction of monoclonal antibodies from mammalian cell culture has become ubiquitous in the biotechnology industry as companies continue to identify opportunities to treat diseases with such therapeutic proteins. The first step in recovery of secreted antibodies is to remove most insoluble components of the cell culture from the product stream. These components consist of ...

A capillary pressure function is proposed for interpreting core-scale flow experiments. This function has been found suitable for a wide range of rock/fluid systems with different pore geometry and wettability characteristics. The petrophysical controls are reflected in the asymptotic values relating to irreducible saturation, and threshold capillary pressure, and in the shape parameters relati...

INTRODUCTION Most arrhythmias during centrifuge training are physiological responses to high +Gz stress. However, potentially dangerous arrhythmias occasionally occur during centrifuge training. We reviewed all arrhythmias recorded during the Japan Air Self-Defense Force (JASDF) centrifuge training from April 2001 to March 2003, and developed a criterion for suspending G-training based on obser...

one of the most important parameters describing the liposomal formulation of hydroquinone is encapsulation efficacy. for the efficacy evaluation of hydroquinone trapped in liposomal structure, there is a need to first separate liposome from the matrix surrounding it. there are various separation techniques; however, in this study, the three techniques of centrifuges with and without washing and...

A method of quantitatively measuring tissue damage during fresh-cut vegetable processing was developed based on optical imaging technology. Images of damaged and undamaged tissues were acquired through a digital imaging system. The damaged areas were recognized and quantified using an Image-Pro Plus software program based on color differences of the damaged and undamaged tissues. In order to im...

Centrifuge modeling of one-step outflow tests were carried out using a 2-m radius geotechnical centrifuge, and the cumulative outflow and transient pore water pressure were measured during the tests at multiple gravity levels. Based on the scaling laws of centrifuge modeling, the measurements generally showed reasonable agreement with prototype data calculated from forward simulations with inpu...
