The design of European two–axle freight wagons can be traced back to the 1890’es. It has been and still is widely used in Europe because it is simple, rugged and cheap in price and maintenance. The internationally approved suspension for two–axle freight wagons in Europe is known as the UIC standard suspension (see Fig. 1). Each wagon has four of these suspensions. They consist of a leaf spring...

A suspension of olfactory epithelial cells was prepared from porcine olfactory mucosa and the physiological functions of the suspension were examined. The membrane potential of the cell suspension, which was monitored by measuring the fluorescence changes of rhodamine 6G, was depolarized by an increase in the K+ concentration in the external medium. Various odorants depolarized the cell suspens...

RETAANE 15mg (anecortave acetate suspension) is under investigation to treat exudative age-related macular degeneration (AMD), the single largest cause of blindness in the Western world, affecting over 15 million people in the USA. RETAANE suspension is a unique synthetic cortisene and has antiangiogenic properties that were established in multiple experimental models of angiogenesis. The molec...

A theoretical analysis of laser-driven collisional ejection of inner-shell electrons is presented to explain the previously observed anomalous kilovolt L-shell x-ray emission spectra fkom atomic Xe cluster targets excited by intense sub-picosecond 248nrn ultraviolet radiation [A. McPherson et al., Nature 370, pp. 631-634 (1994)]. For incident ponderomotively-driven electrons photoionized by str...

The purpose of designing the active suspension systems is providing comfort riding and good handling in different road disturbances. In this paper a novel control method based on adaptive neuro fuzzy system in active suspension system is proposed. Choosing the proper data base to train the ANFIS has an important role in increasing the suspension system’s performance. The data base which is used...

Melanoma is a malignant tumor with high invasive and metastatic properties. Though radiation is the major therapy for melanoma, its radio-resistance has been shown to severely influence the clinical outcome. So it is imperative to enhance the sensitivity of uveal melanoma cells to radiotherapy. Previously, we found that the cell cycle of 92-1 uveal melanoma cells was suspended and remained unch...

Abstract Superconductor Bi-Sr-Ca-Cu-O (BSCCO) thin films were fabricated on silver by electrophoretic deposition (EPD) method. By investigating the effects of solvents and I 2 additives properties suspension prepared BSCCO powder, particle charging mechanism is analyzed. Studying effect different structure isopropanol best dispersion solvent. Through optimization concentration, results show tha...

Table 1 also shows that cyclic AMP concentrations were increased to the same extent by PGE2 and 3-isobutyl-1methyl xanthine, but that PGEz was a much less potent stimulator of mucin release. Thus our results have demonstrated a lack of correlation between magnitude of increase in cyclic AMP concentration and degree of stimulation of mucin secretion. They suggest that increased cyclic AMP concen...

Three-dimensional numerical simulations are performed to study the stability of a sedimenting suspension of weakly flexible fibers. It is well known that a suspension of rigid rods sedimenting under gravity at low Reynolds number is unstable to concentration fluctuations owing to hydrodynamic interactions. Flexible fibers, however, reorient while settling and even weak flexibility can alter the...
