The wall effects on the axisymmetric rise and deformation of an initially spherical gas bubble released from rest in a liquid-filled, finite circular cylinder are numerically investigated. The bulk and gas phases are considered incompressible and immiscible. The bubble motion and deformation are characterized by the Morton number (Mo), Eötvös number (Eo), Reynolds number (Re), Weber number (We)...

Diminazene remains one of South Africa's most commonly used antiprotozoal agents for the management of babesiosis in dogs. Although the drug has been on the market for over 40 years, its intravenous pharmacokinetics are poorly known. To better understand the pharmacokinetics of the drug Berenil, it was reconstituted in sterile water and administered intravenously to 6 adult German shepherd dogs...

The disposition of tacrolimus and the influence of cyclosporine, troleandomycin, and GF120918 (GG918, or N-[4-[2-(1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-6,7-dimethoxy-2-isoquinolinyl)-ethyl]-phenyl]-9,10-dihydro-5-methoxy-9-oxo-4-acridine carboxamine) on its hepatic disposition were examined in the isolated perfused rat liver. Livers from groups of rats were perfused in a recirculatory manner following a bolus dos...

introduction: multi-drug resistant (mdr) p. aeruginosa is constantly increasing and causing severe issues in combatting widely spread health problems. the aim of this study was to assess colistin susceptibility in mdr p. aeruginosa isolates obtained from different infection sites. methods: ninety clinical isolates of p. aeruginosa were collected from different hospitals of the tabriz university...

this paper presents a new mathematical model for a bi-objective job shop scheduling problem with sequence-dependent setup times that minimizes the weighted mean completion time and the weighted mean tardiness time. for solving this multi-objective model, we develop a fuzzy multi-objective linear programming (fmolp) model. in this problem, a proposed fmolp method is applied with respect to the o...

in this study, under the constraint of resource-saving and environment-friendliness objective, based on multi-agent genetic algorithm, multi-objective spatial optimization (moso) model for land use allocation was developed from the view of simulating the biological autonomous adaptability to environment and the competitive-cooperative relationship. the model was applied to solve the practical m...
