Colloid osmotic pressure [PDF]
SummaryTechnical advances have made the bedside measurement of colloid osmotic pressure (COP) a rapid and reproducible test. The principles of measurement are described and the place of COP determinations in the recognition, treatment and prophylaxis of oedematous states is discussed.

Screening of Spherical Colloids beyond Mean Field -- A Local Density Functional Approach [PDF]
We study the counterion distribution around a spherical macroion and its osmotic pressure in the framework of the recently developed Debye-H"uckel-Hole-Cavity (DHHC) theory. This is a local density functional approach which incorporates correlations into

Osmotic Pressure in a Bacterial Swarm [PDF]
Using Escherichia coli as a model organism, we studied how water is recruited by a bacterial swarm. A previous analysis of trajectories of small air bubbles revealed a stream of fluid flowing in a clockwise direction ahead of the swarm. A companion study suggested that water moves out of the agar into the swarm in a narrow region centered ∼ 30 μm from ...

Evidence of Many-Body Interactions in the Virial Coefficients of Polyelectrolyte Gels
Simulation studies of aqueous polymer solutions, and heuristic arguments by De Gennes for aqueous polyethylene oxide polymer solutions, have suggested that many-body interactions can give rise to the ‘anomalous’ situation in which the second osmotic ...

Cytostatic effect of polyethylene-glycol on human colonic adenocarcinoma cells [PDF]
Polyethylene glycol (PEG 8000) is a potent cancer chemopreventive agent. This osmotic laxative polymer markedly suppresses colon cancer in rats. To explain the mechanism, we have tested the in vitro effect of PEG on four human cell lines.

Hydrogel‐Based Capacitive Sensor Model for Ammonium Monitoring in Aquaculture
Traditional techniques for monitoring aquaculture water quality, particularly ammonium levels, harm fish. This work presents a novel capacitive sensor with an ionic hydrogel transducer to monitor ammonium concentration in real time based on the ammonium‐induced hydrogel dissociation and osmotic pressure. Monitoring aquaculture water quality, especially

Effect of Osmotic Pressure on Migration Behavior of nZnO in GCLs
The migration of zinc oxide nanoparticles (nZnO) in geosynthetic clay liners (GCLs) under different osmotic pressures was conducted using a self-developed geosynthetic clay liner osmometer. The effects of the osmotic pressure on the migration behavior of

Osmotic Pump Drug Delivery Systems—A Comprehensive Review
In the last couple of years, novel drug delivery systems (NDDS) have attracted much attention in the food and pharmaceutical industries. NDDS is a broad term that encompasses many dosage forms, one of which is osmotic pumps.
