in according to the simplicity of the lattice boltzmann method’s(lbm) algorithm and its benefits, it has been used as a successful method in computational fluid dynamics in the last decades. in this paper, lbm was used to simulate the flow over a cylinder. to analyze the application of lbm in simulation curved surface, different methods to compute drag coefficient were used. these methods are: ...

Ways of accelerating recovery of the mucous membrane immune system in lethally irradiated mice following syngeneic bone marrow transplantation were studied over a 35-day period by quantification of jejunal intraepithelial lymphocytes (IELs) and lamina propria plasma cells. Recovery after a low bone marrow dose allowing 100% animal survival (LBM) was compared with a high (five times minimal) dos...

OBJECTIVE To compare, in Chinese continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) patients, the creatinine kinetics method (LBM-CK) and the anthropometric method (LBM-AM) for determining lean body mass (LBM). DESIGN Single-center cross-sectional study. PATIENTS AND METHODS We studied 151 unselected CAPD patients (78 males, 73 females). We calculated LBM-CK and LBM-AM using standard formulas...

LBM should be taken into account (1 ). However, as shown here and previously (3 ), the contribution of LBM to variations in serum creatinine is small. The group of subjects studied were all females, and this may account for the low contribution. However, their LBM covered a wide range (23.0–53.7 kg), and thus it is likely that the findings here would be widely applicable. These results suggest ...

The effect of biosynthetic human growth hormone (BSHGH) on postoperative protein and energy metabolism has been studied in patients who had major gastrointestinal surgery. Seven patients received placebo and seven patients received BSHGH, 0.1 mg/kg/24 h, for the first six postoperative days. Mean total nitrogen excretion was significantly lower with BSHGH (31.5 +/- 2.4 g N) (2287 +/- 160 mmol) ...

background: the aim of this study was to assess the predictive capacity of body composition estimated by bioelectrical impedance analysis (bia) to identify abnormal blood pressure in physical education and sport teaching students in the city of ankara. methods: data for this cross-sectional study were obtained in the city of ankara in 2014. a total of 133 students aged 20-35 yr participated in ...

The lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) has recently become an alternative and promising computational fluid dynamics approach for simulating complex fluid flows. Despite its enormous success in many practical applications, the standard LBM is restricted to the lattice uniformity in the physical space. This is the main drawback of the standard LBM for flow problems with complex geometry. Several app...

Lattice Boltmzmann Methods (LBM) have been proved to be very effective methods for computational aeroacoustics (CAA), which have been used to capture the dynamics of weak acoustic fluctuations. In this paper, we propose a strategy to reduce the dispersive and disspative errors of the two-dimensional (2D) multi-relaxation-time lattice Boltzmann method (MRT-LBM). By presenting an effective algori...

BACKGROUND Little is known about the effect of weight change on regional lean body mass (LBM) distribution or on racial differences in resting metabolic rate (RMR). OBJECTIVE The study compared total and regional LBM patterns in white and black women after weight loss and regain and assessed the influence of regional LBM on variances in RMR. DESIGN Eighteen white and 22 black women who did ...

It ha been proved that the lattice Boltzmann Methods (LBMs) are very efficient for computational fluid dynamics purposes, and for capturing the dynamics of weak acoustic fluctuations. Especially, the multi-relaxation-time lattice Boltzmann method (MRT-LBM) appears as a very robust scheme with high precision. It is well-known that there exist several free relaxation parameters in the MRT-LBM. Al...
