in this paper, the turbulent air droplet flow inside a single passage of a curved type vane separator has been studied numerically. the simulation is based on the eulerian - lagrangian method. for turbulent air flow calculations, a computer code was developed to solve the reynolds averaged navier stokes (rans) equations together with the equations of reynolds stress transport model (rstm) on co...

Mycotic aneurysms are localized and irreversible dilatations of the arteries caused by weakening and damaging the arterial wall by an invasive organism establishing infective arteritis. Mycotic aneurysm of the thoracic aorta is a rare event; however, it can be fatal if not diagnosed early or not treated appropriately. Clinical findings are usually nonspecific; however, c...

Hemangioblastomas are tumors of the central nervous system, and the cerebellum is the most common site of occurrence. Cerebellar hemangioblastoma with enhanced wall thickness is rare and often misdiagnosed preoperatively. At present, no unified radiological classification system based on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings exists for cerebellar hemangioblastoma, and this tumor type can be...

berangan banana were treated with hot water at 50 ºc for 0 (control), 10, and 20 min and then kept at room temperature (25±2 ºc), 75-80% rh to observe the ripening progress. firmness and activity of cell wall degradation enzymes such as polygalacturonase (pg), pectin methylesterase (pme), and pectate lyase (pl) were determined for treated and untreated banana. the microstructure of banana peel ...

The present paper is primarily concerned with modeling complex turbulent wall-bounded flow in spray-painting processes by using a commercial CFD code. Computational results of turbulent channel flow with low Reynolds numbers are compared with DNS data in order to obtain the performance of turbulence models and near wall treatments. The realizable k-ε model with the nonequilibrium wall function ...

Several cell wall-bound glycosidases present in Avena sativa coleoptiles were assayed by following the hydrolysis of p-nitrophenyl-glycosides. Particular emphasis was placed on characterizing some parameters affecting the activity of beta-galactosidase. The pH optimum of this enzyme is 4.5 to 5.5; it is sensitive to copper ions and p-chloromercuribenzoate treatment and apparently has an excepti...

Ethambutol (EMB), the first line drug in the treatment of tuberculosis, is an inhibitor of the biosynthesis of the cell wall compound - arabinogalactan. It was found that EMB at sub-inhibitory concentration increases the permeability of the M. vaccae cell wall, which was monitored by cell sensitization to erythromycin and rifampicin. The high permeability of the cell wall to hydrophobic compoun...

Background: It was intended to investigate the effect of physical wedge (PW) and enhanced dynamic wedges (EDW) on contralateral breast dose during primary breast irradiation in radiotherapy treatment, using high energy photon beams. Materials and Methods: The Varian’s Clinac dual mode linear accelerator model 2100 C/D and Siemen’s Primus accelerators were used for radiation doses wi...
