This work reports the study of an attractive interfacial wave for application in ultrasonic NDE techniques for inspection and fluid characterization. This wave, called quasi-Scholte mode, is a kind of flexural wave in a ...

In this work, the authors wonder if it is possible to easily create affordable and simple-made magnetorheological fluids with interesting properties in order to design speed control devices. The focus is on simplicity and ...

In this paper we use a continuum mixture model to solve numerically the momentum and continuity equations associated with the sedimentation dynamics of highly concentrated fluid-solid mixtures in tilted ducts at low ...

The Villarrica-Quetrupillán-Lanín volcanic chain is surrounded by > 20 hot springs, located on the flanks and in the valleys around the volcanos. The hot springs that are extensively used for spa purpose discharge thermal ...

The amniotic fluid provides mechanical protection and immune defense against pathogens to the fetus. Indeed, components of the innate and adaptive immunity, including B cells, have been described in the amniotic fluid. ...

In this work we studied the features of the solid-fluid region of computed binary constant-overall-composition phase diagrams (COCPDs), by resorting to calculated constant solidified-fraction curves. As generally done for ...

Fetal tissues are frequently discarded before (amniocentesis) or after birth, which both facilitates stem cell access and helps to overcome ethical concerns. In the present study, we aimed to isolate and characterize stem ...
