We predict the amplification of mechanical stress, force, and torque on an adherent cell due to flow within a narrow microchannel. We model this system as a semicircular bulge on a microchannel wall, with pressure-driven flow. This two-dimensional model is solved computationally by the boundary element method. Algebraic expressions are developed by using forms suggested by lubrication theory that can be used simply and accurately to predict the fluid stress, force, and torque based upon the fluid viscosity, muoffhannel height, H, cell size, R, and flow rate per unit width, Q2-d. This study shows that even for the smallest cells (gamma = R/H < 1), the stress, force, and torque can be significantly greater than that predicted based on flow in a cell-free system. Increased flow resistance and fluid stress amplification occur with bigger cells (gamma > 0.25), because of constraints by the channel wall. In these cases we find that the shear stress amplification is proportional to Q2-d(1-gamma)-2, and the force and torque are proportional to Q2-d(1-gamma2)-5/2. Finally, we predict the fluid mechanical influence on three-dimensional immersed objects. These algebraic expressions have an accuracy of approximately 10% for flow in channels and thus are useful for the analysis of cells in flow chambers. For cell adhesion in tubes, the approximations are accurate to approximately 25% when gamma > 0.5. These calculations may thus be used to simply predict fluid mechanical interactions with cells in these constrained settings. Furthermore, the modeling approach may be useful in understanding more complex systems that include cell deformability and cell-cell interactions. 相似文献

Doing activity sampling on short duration elements requires many observations to have a small relative error. The proposed procedure requires the observer to record the time remaining in the element after he begins to observe it. Use of the combined attribute-variable data permits reducing the number of observations to one-third those required when using the standard procedure. 相似文献

Some Bayes estimates are obtained of an index of performance of a system that alternates between two states, up or down, in accordance with a Markov process. The index considered is long-run availability, which measures the probability that the system will be up when needed. For the purpose of obtaining these estimates, two types of observations are considered: those that reveal only the state of system at isolated time points and those that continuously record the duration of the up and down times of the system. 相似文献

The effectiveness of three alternative modes of ventilation [high-frequency ventilation (HFV), constant-flow ventilation (CFV), and high-frequency external vibration ventilation (HFVV)] was compared. Local intra-airway gas transport was measured with catheters placed in the distal trachea and in bronchi located 5.5, 9, and 11 cm from the carina. A new bolus dispersion method was devised to measure the local effective diffusivities (Deff) induced by these modes of ventilation and by cardiogenic oscillations relative to molecular diffusivity (Dmol). Mixing induced by cardiogenic oscillations was 7 +/- 2- to 26 +/- 4-fold greater than by molecular diffusion alone. Intra-airway transport by CFV, applied at three flow rates (0.3, 1.0, and 3.0 l.min-1.kg-1), was most effective in the trachea but fell sharply in the more peripheral airways. Local transport by HFVV, at a frequency of 22 Hz and a vertical amplitude of 0.4 cm, was most effective in the periphery (Deff = 793 x Dmol), whereas the effectiveness of transport by HFV, applied with 10 and 20 ml at 22 Hz, was evenly distributed. Doubling the HFV oscillatory volume caused a 4.5 +/- 2.7-fold increase in Deff/Dmol. Combining HFVV with CFV at 0.3 l.min-1.kg-1 induced transport rates that were 187- to 2,034-fold greater than by molecular diffusion alone in the bronchi and a higher relative transport (due to convection) in the trachea. We conclude that the combination of HFVV with low-flow CFV provides a high rate of intra-airway transport with minimal mechanical perturbations to the pulmonary system. 相似文献

The video window is a video screen hanging next to a window on my bedroom wall, showing the image from a camera mounted to
show the skyline from outside that same window. In this paper, I describe the appeal of living with such a system, and the
intermingled aesthetic, utilitarian and practical issues involved in its creation and the experience it offers. 相似文献

Summary We have presented models for multitype job traffic in a simple cyclic queueing model of a multiprogramming computer system (termed MM models), and have shown how such models may yield numerical results by use of a variation of the Gauss-Seidel iteration algorithm. Lastly, we have indicated the manner in which a simple Gordon and Newell Markov model be fitted to MM data, and have shown that satisfactory predictions of some system characteristics may be obtained thereby.Research sponsored in part by the Command and Control Technical Center of the Defense Communications Agency, and in part by NSF under grant number AG476 at the Naval Postgraduate School 相似文献

A catheter for intra-airway sampling of gas concentrations was constructed from concentric polyethylene tubes. The internal tube (0.58 mm ID, 0.91 mm OD) was connected to a gas analyzer while the external tube (1.20 mm ID, 1.75 mm OD) was constantly flushed by air or a calibration gas, except during sampling. Injection and sampling dead spaces were 0.35 and 0.28 ml, respectively. Delay at 4-ml/min sampling rate was 4.0 +/- 0.2 s. The 0-90% step response to a sudden change in gas composition was 0.24 s when connected to a mass spectrometer. This catheter was used to assess tracer gas dispersion during oscillatory flow (1-20 Hz) in a straight long tube. Local concentrations measured through the catheter, after a small bolus of tracer gas was injected through the external tube, compared favorably with direct measurements through needles inserted via the tube wall and with theoretical predictions. The catheter was also used to measure intra-airway gas concentrations in dog airways during spontaneous breathing, conventional mechanical ventilation, high-frequency ventilation, high-frequency vibration ventilation, and constant-flow ventilation. It ws placed by a fiber-optic bronchoscope and used to measure local quasi-steady concentrations of CO2 and local dispersion with the bolus method. The occurrence of catheter clogging with secretions was substantially reduced with flow through the external tube. Transmitting a calibration gas through the external tube facilitated in situ recalibration of the gas analyzer without removing the catheter. The use of this catheter improved the efficiency and accuracy of measurements of gas concentrations inside lung airways. 相似文献
