Role of impinging jets in the biomechanical correction of the intraocular pressure ( IOP ) measurement [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Glaucoma is one of the ocular diseases which develops when the eye internal fluid cannot drain properly and intraocular pressure builds up. This can result in damage to the optic nerve and the nerve fibers from the retina and early diagnosis is very ...

Fluid Structure Interaction (FSI) simulation of the human eye under the air puff tonometry using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
The air puff test is a non-contact method used in different areas to investigate the material behaviour or the biomechanical properties of biological tissues such as skin, cornea, and soft tissue tumours and also to study fruit firmness or meat ...

MR grease application to a controllable clutch system

open access: yesNihon Kikai Gakkai ronbunshu, 2014
Magneto-Rheological (MR) grease has been applied to a controllable clutch system, and its performance was investigated experimentally. MR fluid is known as a functional fluid whose yield shear stress can be controlled reversibly by the applied magnetic ...

An In-Pipe Mobile Robot Using Electro-Conjugate Fluid

open access: yesJournal of Advanced Mechanical Design, Systems, and Manufacturing, 2011
An electro-conjugate fluid (ECF) is a kind of functional fluid, which produces a jet flow (ECF jet) when subjected to high DC voltage. It is known that a strong ECF jet is generated under nonuniform electric field, for example, the field with a pair of ...

Outcomes of Tuberculous Meningitis Patients with Hydrocephalus with or without Cerebrospinal Fluid Diversion

open access: yesAlthea Medical Journal, 2021
Background: Hydrocephalus is a common complication in tuberculous meningitis patients and is a poor predictor with high mortality and morbidity rates. Therefore, early diagnosis, detection, and treatment of hydrocephalus are important.

Mixing device for Droplet μTAS using electro-conjugate fluid

open access: yesNihon Kikai Gakkai ronbunshu, 2014
Micro total analysis system, or µTAS, is a promising tiny analysis system for medical and biochemical analysis. Droplet µTAS in particular handles samples in droplet state, resulting in reducing the amount of sample volume and the inspection time ...

Evaluation of the suitability of Pleurotus as a fluid loss control agent using the chemical structural properties approach

open access: yesScientific African, 2023
One of the main functions of the drilling fluid is to prevent filtrate from entering the formation by exhibiting good fluid loss properties during oil and gas drilling operations by sealing off the walls of the wellbore.

Age-Related Trajectories of General Fluid Cognition and Functional Decline in the Health and Retirement Study: A Bivariate Latent Growth Analysis

open access: yesJournal of Intelligence, 2023
There have been few studies on associations between age-related declines in fluid cognition and functional ability in population-representative samples of middle-aged and older adults. We used a two-stage process (longitudinal factor analysis followed by

Fluid dynamic simulations at the interface of the blue-green sharpshooter functional foregut and grapevine xylem sap with implications for transmission of Xylella fastidiosa

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2022
Xylella fastidiosa is a multi-continental, lethal, plant pathogenic bacterium that is transmitted by sharpshooter leafhoppers (Insecta: Hemiptera: Cicadellidae: Cicadellinae) and adult spittlebugs (Hemiptera: Aphrophoridae).

Functional hyperemia drives fluid exchange in the paravascular space

open access: yesFluids and Barriers of the CNS, 2020
The brain lacks a conventional lymphatic system to remove metabolic waste. It has been proposed that directional fluid movement through the arteriolar paravascular space (PVS) promotes metabolite clearance.
