We report a comprehensive study of the flow of liquid triggered by injecting a droplet into a liquid foam microchannel, also called a Plateau border. This drop-injected experiment reveals an intricate dynamics for the liquid redistribution, with two contrasting regimes observed, ruled either by inertia or viscosity. We devoted a previous study [A. Cohen et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 112, 218303 (201...

Soap bubbles are by essence fragile and ephemeral. Depending on their composition environment, bubble bursting can be triggered gravity-induced drainage and/or the evaporation of liquid presence nuclei. In this paper, we design made a composite film able to neutralize all these effects keep integrity for more than one year in standard atmosphere.

Biodegradable rods of polyglycolide or lactide-glycolide copolymer were used in the internal fixation of a variety of fractures and osteotomies in 516 patients. A clinically manifest foreign-body reaction occurred in 41 patients (7.9%), producing a fluctuant swelling at the implantation site after an average of 12 weeks. Spontaneous sinus formation or surgical drainage yielded a sterile exudate...

[1] We present the results of new laboratory experiments that provide constraints on inter bubble film thinning and bubble coalescence as a consequence of liquid expulsion by gravitational and capillary forces. To ensure dynamic similarity to magmatic systems, the experiments are at small Reynolds numbers Re 1 ð Þ and cover a wide range of Bond numbers (10 3 Bo 10). Results indicate that at Bo<...

Thin liquid films arise in many technological applications and biological phenomena. They also present a fascinating object of study, because rich interplay between capillarity, hydrodynamics, interfacial transport phenomena rheology, as well the effects interaction forces when thin down to molecular thicknesses. Recent advances experimental techniques have given further insights variety physic...

The use of the different external carbon source was investigated to enhance the short-cut nitrificationdenitrification (SCND) and the denitrifying phosphorus removal via nitrite (DPRN) using a sequencing batch reactor (SBR) to treat anaerobic supernatant. The SBR was fed with liquid effluent from the anaerobic co-digestion of waste activated sludge (WAS) and organic fraction of municipal solid ...

The quality of water draining fields fertilized with liquid swine (Sus scrofa) manure (LSM) sidedressed into standing corn (Zea mays L.) at rates ranging from 0 to 94 m(3) ha(-1), either topdressed (TD) onto the surface, or injected (INJ) into the soil once annually for each of three consecutive years was evaluated. Liquid swine manure application rate was a critical driver of preferential flow...
