We propose a technique for polishing inner capillary walls made of non-magnetic material utilizing a magnetic compound fluid. The principle and polishing characteristics are discussed. The fluid used has the features of both magnetic fluids and magneto-rheological fluids as it is a mixture of the ...
Not only is macromolecular transport overestimated, but the mean concentration differences across the microvascular walls are also underestimated. Consequences of these errors are (1) macromolecular permeability of the vessels is overestimated, and (2) the convective component of macromolecular transport is...
Other important influencing factors are the amount and connectivity of the pores, the viscosity, density and surface tension of the liquid, the contact angle between liquid and pore walls, and the relative humidity in the pores [59,60]. Again, predicting the effective mass transport due to ...
and are taken to be functions of local phase saturations only (and more recently also of specific fluid–fluid interfaces15. Such parameters are assumed to account for all non-linear effects emanating at the pore-scale and are typically calculated using core flooding experiments under quasi-static...
Here we use single-cell analysis to elucidate the cell types, development, renewal and evolution of the alveolar capillary endothelium. We show that alveolar capillaries are mosaics; similar to the epithelium that lines the alveolus, the alveolar endothelium is made up of two intermingled cell ...
semipermeable membrane one permitting passage through it of some but not all substances. serous membrane the membrane lining the walls of the body cavities and enclosing the contained organs; it consists of mesothelium lying upon a connective tissue layer and it secretes a watery fluid. synovial ...
The analysis of the capillary rise—or descent—in cylindrical tubes or between two parallel plates has been recently extended by Tsori [34] to the case where the walls are not parallel, as, for instance, for a conical pipette (Figure 2.55). Sign in to download full-size image Figure 2.5...
Heating elements for building into walls, ceilings or floors consist of capillary tubes (12-17) laid in grooves cut in the back of plasterboard (10) and covered by a sheet of metal. The grooves run from end to end parallel with each other, and at the ends the capillary tubes (12-17)...
The remaining 10% is composed of high-molecular-weight proteins and their oncotically associated water, which is too large to readily pass through venous capillary walls. The lymph then flows into the lymphatic capillaries where pressures are typically low and can accommodate the large size of the...
In order to further maximize the propagation of X-rays through the capillary, the large end 12 of the capillary is enclosed by a gas-tight enclosure 82 including side walls 84, which may be metal, for example, and an end wall 86 formed of X-ray transparent material such as Kapton tape...
