Aquatic versus terrestrial attachment: Water makes a difference
Beilstein Journal of Nanotechnology, 2014 Animal attachment to a substrate is very different in terrestrial and aquatic environments. We discuss variations in both the forces acting to detach animals and forces of attachment.

Can flexible ureteroscopy using flexible and navigable suction ureteral access sheath (FANS-UAS) minimize postoperative double J stent placement? Results from a propensity score-matched analysis of 540 patients of the European Association of Urology Section of Endourology and global FANS collaborative study group [PDF]
Investigative and Clinical UrologyPurpose: To evaluate whether using flexible and navigable suction ureteral access sheath can obviate insertion of double J stent and establish the safety of overnight ureteric catheter placement as alternative following flexible ureteroscopy for kidney ...

The influence of suction changes on the stiffness of railway formation
, 2011 Despite compacted soils being unsaturated, geotechnical design is predominantly based on saturated soils,despite it being known that differences exist between the behaviour of saturated and unsaturated soils.Suction in soils has been shown to increase ...

A Simplified CFD Model for Simulation of the Suction Process Of Reciprocating Compressors
, 2012 The suction process in reciprocating compressors is strongly affected by the valve dynamics and the pulsating flow throughout the suction muffler. This paper describes a simplified computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model to simulate the flow through the
