In microcirculation, red blood cells (RBCs) flowing through bifurcations may deform considerably due to combination of different phenomena that happen at the micro-scale level, such as: attraction effect, high shear, and extensional stress, all of which may influence the rheological properties and flow behavior of blood. Thus, it is important to investigate in detail the behavior of blood flow ...

We study the flow of a Newtonian fluid through microfabricated hyperbolic contractions in detail. A set of planar converging geometries, with total Hencky strains ranging from 1 to 3.7, have been fabricated in order to produce a homogeneous extensional flow field within the contraction. The kinematics in the contraction region are investigated experimentally by means of micro particle image vel...

Abstract Generalising classical result of Müller and Šverák (J. Differ. Geom. 42(2), 229-258, 1995), we obtain a pointwise estimate the conformal factor sequences immersions from unit disk complex plane uniformly bounded total curvature converging strongly outside concentration point towards branched for which quantization energy holds. We show that multiplicity associated to parameter becomes ...

We construct a sampling operator with the property that smoother function is, faster its approximation is. establish direct estimate and weak converse of rate in uniform norm by means modulus smoothness $K$-functional. The case weighted is also considered. weights are positive power-type non-positive exponents at infinity. This preserves every algebraic polynomial.

background and aims. orientation of the occlusal plane is one of the most important clinical procedures in prosthodontic rehabilitation of edentulous patients. the aim of this study was to define the best posterior reference point of ala-tragus line for orientation of occlusal plane for complete denture fabrication. materials and methods. fifty-three dental students (27 females and 26 males) wi...

In this paper, we investigate the focusing properties of a vortex-cosh-Gaussian (vChG) beam passing through converging thin lens. Based on Huygens–Fresnel diffraction integral, derived analytical propagation equation as well width expression focused vChGB. It is shown that including focal shift vChGB are crucially dependent incident parameters namely decentered parameter and topological charge ...

Given two polynomials, we find a convergence property of the GCD of the rising factorial and the falling factorial. Based on this property, we present a unified approach to computing the universal denominators as given by Gosper’s algorithm and Abramov’s algorithm for finding rational solutions to linear difference equations with polynomial coefficients.
