Bacterial pathogens commonly encounter flow in the human bloodstream and urinary tract. While previous studies have largely focused on how flow affects surface-attached bacteria, little is known about ...
Article Views are the COUNTER-compliant sum of full text article downloads since November 2008 (both PDF and HTML) across all institutions and individuals. These metrics are regularly updated to ...
Numerous cell functions are accompanied by phenotypic changes in viscoelastic properties, and measuring them can help elucidate higher level cellular functions in health and disease. We present a high ...
RULES of thumb are sometimes misleading. Engineers often discuss rules of thumb for pipe sizing. Velocity (1–4 m/s) and Reynolds number (>10,000) are cited, as are pressure drop (20-80 kPa/100 m) and ...
Blood flow produces mechanical frictional forces, parallel to the blood flow exerted on the endothelial wall of the vessel, the so-called wall shear stress (WSS). WSS sensing is associated with ...
Many fluids undergo shear banding, in which two states of different apparent viscosity coexist for a given shear rate (or for a given stress). In the idealized case of an infinite gap between shearing ...
When hoppers are designed without consideration of the actual materials being handled, problems inevitably arise. Follow this guidance to avoid common solids-handling issues, such as erratic flow and ...
From the International Centre for Circulatory Health, NHLI, Imperial College London, London, United Kingdom (N.F., S.S., S.N., R.P., C.K., D.P.F., J.E.D., P.W.S ...
Junctional adhesion molecule (JAM)-A expressed in endothelial, epithelial, and blood cells can regulate permeability and leukocyte extravasation. Atherosclerosis develops at sites of disturbed flow in ...
