Taylor dispersion--shear-induced enhancement of translational diffusion--is an important phenomenon with applications ranging from pharmacology to geology. Through experiments and simulations, we show that rotational diffusion is also enhanced for anisotropic particles in oscillatory shear. This enhancement arises from variations in the particle's rotation (Jeffery orbit) and depends on the str...

We perform extensive molecular dynamics simulations of dense liquids composed of bidisperse dimer- and ellipse-shaped particles in two dimensions that interact via purely repulsive contact forces. We measure the structural relaxation times obtained from the long-time α decay of the self part of the intermediate scattering function for the translational and rotational degrees of freedom (DOF) as...

background: cytogenetic study of reproductive wastage is an important aspect in determining the genetic background of early embryogenesis. approximately 15 to 20% of all pregnancies in humans are terminated as recurrent spontaneous abortions (rsas). the aim of this study was to detect chromosome abnormalities in couples with rsas and to compare our results with those reported previously. materi...

With the diversified and personalized commodity requirements as well as small batch dispatch and frequent dispatch features under the circumstance of E-commerce, the environment for logistics dispatching system becomes increasingly complicated and the interinfluence between different subsystems in logistics system optimization becomes increasingly significant. As a result, judged from the aspec...

• duchenne muscular dystrophy o onset 3 to 5 yrs o clinical § weakness o distribution § proximal > distal § symmetric § legs & arms § most involved muscles: adductor magnus in legs § relatively spared muscles: gracilis & sartorius o course § reduced motor function by 2 to 3 years § steady decline in strength: after 6 to 11 years o gowers sign: standing up with the aid of hands pushing on knees ...

A series of studies aimed at developing methods and systems for analyzing epigenetic information in cells are presented. The role of the epigenetic information of cells, which is complementary to their genetic information, was inferred by comparing the predictions of genetic information with the cell behaviour observed under conditions chosen to reveal adaptation processes and community effects...
