A demand for high efficiency traction motors has been accelerated by the promotion of electrified vehicles, such as battery and fuel cell electric vehicles. As a part development motor, this paper reports comparative study on two kinds hybrid excitation flux switching (HEFSM) variable machine. One is conventional HEFSM, which consists stator with constantly magnetized-permanent magnets, field c...

this article introduces a new tri-parameter law of corresponding states from the known regularities, namely the lir and zeno line for dense fluids (when tz=tc). two of these parameters are the zeno line parameters and the third parameter (the fluid parameter), has been obtained from the lir, this parameter is solely dependent upon the fluid characteristics. the third parameter can be obtaind fr...

BACKGROUND In orthopaedic surgery, accumulation of agents such as anti-infectives in the bone as target tissue is difficult. The use of magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) as carriers principally enables their accumulation via an externally applied magnetic field. Magnetizable implants are principally able to increase the strength of an externally applied magnetic field to reach also deep-seated part...

We developed a direct fluoroimmunoassay for cortisol in serum. This method involves cortisol labeled at the 3 position with fluorescein, and antibodies to cortisol coupled to magnetizable cellulose/iron oxide particles. Sodium salicylate is used as a blocking agent to prevent interference from endogenous binding proteins in serum. Serum sample and labeled cortisol are incubated with the antibod...

fluid properties with constant improvement in efficiency have been noticeable as important criteria in drilling operation. the main drilling fluid properties highly depend on utilization of new polymers with high efficiency in drilling fluid composition. in this paper, the performance of a new polymer, called partially hydrolyzed polyacrylamide polymer (phpa), is studied which has recently ente...

free surface sloshing of liquid in a rectangular tank induced by lateral excitation has been studied numericallyand experimentally in this paper. the numerical simulation is carried out based on the volume of fluid (vof) method that provides free surface extraction in such problem. a tank with transparent walls is used to free surface tracking in experimental study while the movement amplitude ...

many diseases are related to cerebrospinal .uid (csf) hydrodynamics. therefore, understanding the hydrodynamics of csf .ow and intracranial pressure is helpful for obtaining deeper knowledge of pathological processes and providing better treatments. furthermore, engineering a reliable computational method is promising approach for fabricating in vitro models which is essential for inventing gen...

Conventional magnetic recording media are composed of basic magnetizable units called grains which might be random in size and shape. Information is stored on the medium through a write mechanism that sets the magnetic polarities of the grains. Each grain can be magnetized to take on one of the two possible types of magnetic polarity. Thus, each grain represents at most one bit of information. ...

We evaluated the effects of temperature and humidity on thyroid hormones (T4, T3) and thyrotropin (TSH) measured in blood spots dried on filter paper. RIAs for T4 and T3 blood spots were optimized to measure these analytes over the neonatal and euthyroid adult reference intervals. Sensitivities of the T3 and T4 assays were 0.5 and 10 nmol/L, respectively. A blood-spot immunoradiometric assay fo...

The Tamm-Horsfall glycoprotein prepared by salt precipitation from urine was found to comprise a heterogeneous collection of aggregates. These could be disaggregated with 8m-urea, following which chromatography on a column of Bio-Gel A.15m yielded a homogeneous glycoprotein of mol.wt. 73000 together with several unidentified impurities. Gel filtration of normal plasma showed the glycoprotein to...
