1. Liquid plug propagation in flexible microchannels: A small airway model

In the present study, we investigate the effect of wall flexibility on the plug propagation and the resulting wall stresses in small airway models with experimental measurements and numerical simulations. Experimentally, a flexible microchannel was fabricated to mimic the flexible small airways using soft lithography. Liquid plugs were generated and propagat

2. The plug domain of FepA, a TonB-dependent transport protein from Escherichia coli, binds its siderophore in the absence of the transmembrane barrel domain

FepA, an outer membrane iron siderophore transporter from Escherichia coli, is composed of a 22-stranded membrane-spanning β barrel with a globular N-terminal “plug” domain of 148 residues that folds up inside the barrel and completely occludes the barrel's interior (1). We have overexpressed and purified this plug domain by itself and find that it beha

3. Periapical tissue healing after post space preparation with or without use of a protection plug and root canal exposure to the oral environment: study in dogs

O propósito deste trabalho foi avaliar a influência da infiltração coronária no reparo dos tecidos periapicais após obturação dos canais radiculares, preparo para pino e proteção ou não de um "plug" de cimento temporário. Quarenta canais de dentes de cães foram instrumentados e obturados pela técnica da condensação lateral ativa com cones de

4. Cotton Closure as an Aeration Barrier in Shaken Flask Fermentations

Oxygen transfer through a cotton plug follows Fick's law of diffusion. The apparent diffusion constant decreases as the density of cotton packing is increased. Formulas are derived which relate oxygen transfer to cotton-plug dimensions. Calculations indicate that the dimensions of a cotton plug can affect both the maximal oxygen uptake rate and the gas compo

5. Simple screening method for molds producing intracellular mycotoxins in pure cultures.

A simple screening method for molds producing the intracellular mycotoxins brevianamide A, citreoviridin, cyclopiazonic acid, luteoskyrin, penitrem A, roquefortine C, sterigmatocystin, verruculogen, viomellein, and xanthomegnin was developed. After removing an agar plug from the mold culture, the mycelium on the plug is wetted with a drop of methanol-chlorof

6. Deletion and replacement of the mouse adult beta-globin genes by a "plug and socket" repeated targeting strategy.

We describe a two-step strategy to alter any mouse locus repeatedly and efficiently by direct positive selection. Using conventional targeting for the first step, a functional neo gene and a nonfunctional HPRT minigene (the "socket") are introduced into the genome of HPRT- embryonic stem (ES) cells close to the chosen locus, in this case the beta-globin locu

7. Eficacia do uso do templating na artroplastia total do quadril

OBJETIVO: Avaliar a eficácia do planejamento pré-operatório tradicional com o uso de templatings. MÉTODO: Quarenta e três radiografias antero-posteriores foram analisadas por três cirurgiões experientes (A, B, C) e comparadas. Os testes de concordância de Cohen Kappa e Kappa ponderado, com ponderação quadrática, foram usados para análise e

8. Numerical and experimental analysis of tube drawing with fixed plug

Numerical simulation of manufacturing processes has become in the last years an important tool to improve these processes reducing lead times and try out, and providing products free of defects and with controlled mechanical properties. Finite Element Method (FEM) is one of the most important methods to simulate metal forming. In tube drawing with fixed plug

9. Crown size and transplant type on the strawberry yield

Strawberry (Fragaria x ananassa D.) yield is affected by vigor of transplants. Those young and vigorous at planting lead to plants reaching higher vegetative growth and fruit yield than weak or old ones. This study aimed at determining plant growth, development, and fruit yield of the strawberry plant from bare root and plug transplants with different crown

10. Males of social insects can prevent queens from multiple mating.

During copulation, males of Bombus terrestris fill the queen's sexual tract with a mating plug after transferring their sperm. The sticky secretion is produced by the male's accessory glands and disappears within a couple of days. Experiments now show that the primary function of the plug is to reduce the subsequent mating probability of the queen. The plug

11. Estimação de vazão baseada em modelagem e simulação do controle de acesso ao meio em redes PLC / Throughput estimation based on modeling and simulation of medium access control in PLC networks

Neste trabalho, realizou-se um estudo sobre estimação da vazão baseada na análise e modelagem do controle de acesso ao meio em redes PLC padrão HomePlug 1.0. A comunicação de dados através do canal elétrico tem vantagens como apresentar as características de ubiquidade e da infra-estrutura pré-existente, porém enfrenta obstáculos importantes com
