1 OVERVIEW In our paper, we present asynchronous time integration to simulate uids using a non-iterative EOS-based SPH solver. In this document, we provide additional images for comparison to previous methods (Sec. 2) and a quantitative velocity study of the time stepping methods (Sec. 3). Results are presented for xed time stepping (FTS), globally adaptive time stepping (GTS) [Desbrun and Gasc...

PURPOSE To evaluate the pharmacokinetics of telithromycin after intravenous and oral administration and to find the reason for incomplete F value (first pass-effect) after intravenous, intraportal, intragastric, and intraduodenal administration to rats. METHODS Telithromycin was administered intravenously or orally at doses of 20, 50, and 100 mg/kg to rats. And hepatic, gastric, and intestina...

The metalworking and machining industry utilizes recirculating metalworking fluids for integral aspects of the fabrication process. Despite the use of biocides, these fluids sustain substantial biological growth. Subsequently, the high-shear forces incurred during metalworking processing aerosolize bacterial cells and may cause dermatologic and respiratory effects in exposed workers. We quantif...

To understand the rate-limiting process of oral drug absorption, not only total bioavailability (F) but also intestinal (F(a) · F(g)) and hepatic (F(h)) availability after oral administration should be evaluated. Usually, F(a) · F(g) of drug is calculated from pharmacokinetic parameters after intravenous and oral administration. This approach is influenced markedly by the estimated value of F(h...

By means of He's homotopy perturbation method (HPM) an approximate solution of velocity eld is derived for the ow in straight pipes of non-Newtonian uid obeying the Sisko model. The nonlinear equations governing the ow in pipe are for- mulated and analyzed, using homotopy perturbation method due to He. Furthermore, the obtained solutions for velocity eld is graphically sketched...

Physiologic principles underlying the differences in fetal hemoglobin (HbF) induction between acute and chronic states of erythroid expansion are poorly understood. Whereas abrupt erythroid expansion is characterized by a high proportion of reticulocytes coexpressing adult and fetal globin (F reticulocytes), HbF levels wane with chronic erythropoietic stimulation. To investigate this phenomenon...

atopic dermatitis is one of the most common allergic diseases that almost always respond to conventional therapies with topical emollient, topical corticosteroids, systemic antihistamines and allergic abstinence. however few cases of atopic dermatitis with severe course do not respond to conventional therapies and high dose of intravenous immunoglobulin or cyclosporine are recommended for them....

We study a three-dimensional system of particles interacting via spherically symmetric pair potentials consisting of several discontinuous steps. We show that at certain values of the parameters describing the potential, the system has three ,rst-order phase transitions between -uids of di.erent densities ending in three critical points. c © 2003 Elsevier B.V.

The child with a cleft palate cannot speak normally, is likely to suffer from earache and deafness, may leak food and fl uids through the nose, and may suffer from malnutrition as a result of an inability to feed properly [2]. It is imperative that surgical treatment to make the patients anatomically, functionally and aesthetically as near normal as possible be performed as soon as the patients...
