Investigation on the poor fluidity of electrically conductive cement-graphite paste: Experiment and simulation

Materials & Design (1980-2015), 2019
Electrically conductive cement-based material is a type of smart and multifunctional material, which can be prepared by adding graphite. However, the addition of graphite can dramatically decrease the fluidity of the paste.

Effects of the Fluid Replacement Method During Online Hemodiafiltration on the Solute Removal Performance and Biocompatibility Using the Asymmetric Cellulose Triacetate Membrane

Therapeutic Apheresis and Dialysis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Pre‐dilution online hemodiafiltration (Pre‐HDF) is predominantly used in Japan, whereas post‐dilution online HDF (Post‐HDF) is more common in Europe. An asymmetric cellulose triacetate (ATA) membrane may improve biocompatibility.

Numerical simulation and mathematical modeling of the casting process for pearlitic spheroidal graphite cast iron

Open Chemistry, 2022
Fluidity, an essential parameter in casting operations, is influenced by the thermal properties of the alloy and the mold, pouring temperature, modification, and inoculation of the alloy.

Effects of kidney perfusion on renal stiffness and tissue fluidity measured with tomoelastography in an MRI-compatible ex vivo model

Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology, 2023
Stiffness plays a vital role in diagnosing renal fibrosis. However, perfusion influences renal stiffness in various chronic kidney diseases. Therefore, we aimed to characterize the effect of tissue perfusion on renal stiffness and tissue fluidity ...

Infection Control Practices for Vascular Access Management in Hemodialysis: Results From a Nationwide Survey of Japanese National University Hospitals

Therapeutic Apheresis and Dialysis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Bloodstream infections due to repeated vascular access (VA) puncture and circuit connections remain major concerns in hemodialysis. Therefore, we examined current practices for glove, disinfectant, and personal protective equipment (PPE) use according to VA type in national university hospitals in Japan.

Preparation and Performance Testing of Steel Slag Concrete from Steel Solid Waste

Buildings
In this paper, steel slag powder was used to replace part of the cement in road concrete, and group tests were carried out on coarse aggregates with different water–cement (W/C) ratios, different steel slag parameters, and different particle sizes.

Performing Gender: A Study of Gender Fluidity [PDF]

, 2015
The subjective quality of identity and the relativistic nature of gender are subjects that continue to bemuse and attract social scientists. In this study I examine gender fluidity – an inconsistent gender identity – within the framework of Western ...

Spatiotemporal and quantitative analyses of phosphoinositides – fluorescent probe—and mass spectrometry‐based approaches

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Fluorescent probes allow dynamic visualization of phosphoinositides in living cells (left), whereas mass spectrometry provides high‐sensitivity, isomer‐resolved quantitation (right). Their synergistic use captures complementary aspects of lipid signaling. This review illustrates how these approaches reveal the spatiotemporal regulation and quantitative

Continuum modeling of mechanically-induced creep in dense granular materials

, 2014
Recently, a new nonlocal granular rheology was successfully used to predict steady granular flows, including grain-size-dependent shear features, in a wide variety of flow configurations, including all variations of the split-bottom cell.
