An upstream ultrafiltration (UU) method is employed for the on-line concentration of collected particle fraction and for the convenient regulation of flow rates in split-flow thin (SPLITT) fractionation. Concentration of the collected particle fraction is necessary to fractionate particles by smaller cutoff diameters in SPLITT fractionation. By introducing a simple device utilizing upstream ult...

A theoretical model incorporation both active and passive forces has been developed for fluid reabsorption from split oil droplets in rat intermediate and late proximal tubule. Of necessity, simplifying assumptions have been introduced; we have assumed that the epithelium can be treated as a single membrane and that the membrane "effective" HCO3 permeability is near zero. Based on this model wi...

A micromixer with unbalanced three-split rhombic sub-channels was proposed, and analyses of the mixing and flow characteristics of this micromixer were performed in this work. Three-dimensional Navier-Stokes equations in combination with an advection-diffusion model with two working fluids (water and ethanol) were solved for the analysis. The mixing index and pressure drop were evaluated and co...

Abstract—this paper develops a real-time traffic signal timing model which is to be integrated into a single intersection for urban road, thereby solving the problem of traffic congestion. We analyze the current situation of the traffic flow with release matrix firstly, and then put forward the basic models to minimize total delay time of vehicles at the intersection. The optimal real-time sign...

Gaussian split Ewald (GSE) is a versatile Ewald mesh method that is fast and accurate when used with both real-space and k-space Poisson solvers. While real-space methods are known to be asymptotically superior to k-space methods in terms of both computational cost and parallelization efficiency, k-space methods such as smooth particle-mesh Ewald (SPME) have thus far remained dominant because t...

It is difficult clinically to measure relative blood flow to each lung. We hypothesized that uni-lung % blood flow is linearly related to % carbon dioxide excretion (VCO2). In a canine model of acute unilateral lung injury, we measured uni-lung flow with ultrasonic flow-probes, and uni-lung VCO2 with two separate metabolic monitors utilizing split lung ventilation following thoracotomy. Relativ...

In this paper, we discuss an extension of split cuts that is based on widening the underlying disjunctions. That the formula for deriving intersection cuts based on splits can be adapted to this case has been known for a decade now. For the first time though, we present applications and computational results. We further discuss extensions of the existing theory with respect to cut strengthening...

This paper investigates the performance of the single TCSC and proposed split TCSC on transmission system where India’s first TCSC project is installed in Kanpur Ballabhgarh (KB) line to ensure the fine tuning of line reactance by proposed split TCSC in place of existing KB TCSC. A three phase KB transmission system is developed in MATLAB/Simulink (SimPowerSystems) for a) without any compensati...
