The watering of tall trees - Embolization and recovery [PDF]
, 2015 We can propound a thermo-mechanical understanding of the ascent of sap to the top of tall trees thanks to a comparison between experiments associated with the cohesion-tension theory and the disjoining pressure concept for liquid thin-films.

Venous Thromboembolism Within Professional American Sport Leagues. [PDF]
, 2017 Background: Numerous reports have described players in professional American sports leagues who have been sidelined with a deep vein thrombosis (DVT) or a pulmonary embolism (PE), but little is known about the clinical implications of these events in ...

Paradoxical Air Embolism during Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy: A Case Report [PDF]
, 2007 Air embolism is a rare complication of percutaneous nephrolithotomy. Patent foramen ovale, which is necessary in fetal circulation, is a potential route for emboli arising from the venous system to enter the systemic arterial circulation, resulting in ...

Natural and laser-induced cavitation in corn stems: On the mechanisms of acoustic emissions [PDF]
, 2012 Water in plant xylem is often superheated, and therefore in a meta-stable state. Under certain conditions, it may suddenly turn from the liquid to the vapor state. This cavitation process produces acoustic emissions.

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Intercalation of a series of FeSe1−xSx host crystals with tetramethylammonium cations (TMA+) linearly scales the critical temperature Tc from 43 K down to 28 K with increasing sulfur incorporation. The chemical pressure induced by the partial substitution shows a weakening of the superconducting properties in both hosts and intercalates in a remarkably

Cerebral gas embolism caused by pleural fibrinolytic treatment [PDF]
, 2009 BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Intrapleural fibrinolytic therapy is a technique used to treat empyemas and parapneumonic effusions. Cerebral air embolism is an unusual potentially severe complication of this technique.

The dynamics of embolism refilling in abscisic acid (ABA)-deficient tomato plants. [PDF]
, 2012 Plants are in danger of embolism formation in xylem vessels when the balance between water transport capacity and transpirational demand is compromised.

Vivid Structural Coloration in Transparent MXene‐Cellulose Nanocrystals Composite Films
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Vivid structural coloration in reflectance and high transparency in transmittance modes are observed in biopolymer‐layered composite films. The ultrathin multilayered structures have unique optical appearance, near‐infrared bandgap, and strong optical reflection caused by alternating MXene and cellulose nanocrystals layers with high refractive index ...

Relationships between hydraulic traits and habitat preference for six Acer species occurring in the French Alps [PDF]
, 2004 Xylem hydraulic properties and vulnerability to cavitation were studied in six Acer species which occur, in the French Alps, along a soil moisture gradient from the moist valleys to the drier mountain stands.

Elucidating Sodium Ion Storage Mechanisms in Hard Carbon Anodes at the Electronic Level
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.High‐resolution, multi‐frequency continuous wave, and pulsed Electron Paramagnetic Resonance (EPR) spectroscopy uncover the intricate Na ion storage mechanisms in hard carbon. This study reveals the coexistence of Na ion intercalation and solvent co‐intercalation, alongside a subsequent transition of Na ions from ionic to quasi‐metallic to metallic ...
