Strictures of the female reproductive tract impose fierce competition to select for highly motile sperm [PDF]
arXiv, 2018 Investigating sperm locomotion in the presence of an external fluid flow and geometries simulating the female reproductive tract can lead to a better understanding of sperm motion during the fertilization process. In this study, using a microfluidic device featuring a stricture that simulates the biophysical properties of narrow junctions inside the ...

Heavy Exotic Molecules with Charm and Bottom [PDF]
, 2016 We revisit the formation of pion-mediated heavy-light exotic molecules with both charm and bottom and their chiral partners under the general strictures of both heavy-quark and chiral symmetry. The chiral exotic partners with good parity formed using the $(0^+, 1^+)$ multiplet are about twice more bound than their primary exotic partners formed using ...

Entropy and Thermodynamic Temperature in Nonequilibrium Classical Thermodynamics as Immediate Consequences of the Hahn-Banach Theorem: I. Existence [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 The Kelvin-Planck statement of the Second Law of Thermodynamics is a stricture on the nature of heat receipt by any body suffering a cyclic process. It makes no mention of temperature or of entropy. Beginning with a Kelvin-Planck statement of the Second Law, we show that entropy and temperature -- in particular, existence of functions that relate the ...

Following in the footsteps of E. coli: sperm in microfluidic "strictures" [PDF]
arXiv, 2019 We briefly describe the similarities of the experiments of sperm motion in microfluidic "strictures" by Zafeeani et al. in 2019 (Sci. Adv. 5, eaav21111, 2019) and those by Altshuler et al. in 2013 (Soft Matter 9, 1864, 2013). We shortly discuss the hydrodynamic elements justifying the strong resemblance between the two types of experiments, and suggest

Semi-supervised Bladder Tissue Classification in Multi-Domain Endoscopic Images [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 Objective: Accurate visual classification of bladder tissue during Trans-Urethral Resection of Bladder Tumor (TURBT) procedures is essential to improve early cancer diagnosis and treatment. During TURBT interventions, White Light Imaging (WLI) and Narrow Band Imaging (NBI) techniques are used for lesion detection.

Incidence of complications from perioperative urinary catheterisation in horses
Australian Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.Catheterisation of the urinary bladder is a common procedure during perioperative care of horses. Benefits of urinary catheters include a reduction in the risk of recovery‐associated slip hazards as a consequence of voided urine and the measurement of urine output during anaesthesia.
