Mathematical Modeling of Mucociliary Clearance: A Mini-Review
Cells, 2019 Mucociliary clearance is an important innate host defense of the mammalian respiratory system, as it traps foreign substances, including pollutants, pathogens, and allergens, and transports them out of the airway.

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background Pediatric thromboembolism is increasingly encountered in critical care. Systemic thrombolysis with tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) facilitates vessel or valve patency, yet pediatric‐specific protocols remain undefined, and safety concerns persist. Objective To evaluate the efficacy and safety of a tailored, prolonged systemic tPA

Large Tip Clearance Flows in High Pressure Stages of Axial Compressors [PDF]
, 2009 This thesis investigates over tip leakage where the tip clearance is large. In the high pressure stages of axial compressors the tip clearance can be typically 6% of span and the total blockage due to tip clearance can consume in excess of forty percent ...
