A water supply system with radial wells (RWs) extends usually over tens of kilometers horizontally and tens of meters deep within the soil. Water flows through the soil and then through several lateral screens to the vertical shaft. Lateral screens represent perforated pipes with lengths in meters and diameters measured in centimeters. A common app...

Material transport by diffusion is present in nature, as well as in living organisms as a vital process. The basic and generally used is a phenomenologically established law, named Fick’s law, It states that the material flux is proportional to the concentration gradient and that the material flows from the higher to lower concentration. Howe...

Metastasis involves the dissemination of circulating tumor cells (CTCs) from the primary tumor, their survival in the bloodstream, and eventual colonization of distant organs. Adhesive interactions with platelets, leukocytes, and endothelial cells are critical to CTC survival and extravasation. Platelet adhesion enhances CTC viability and promotes ...

Understanding the biomechanical response of a femoral bone under physiological loads is critical for assessing bone health and fracture risk, particularly in aging populations affected by osteopenia and osteoporosis. This study investigates the mechanical behavior of the femoral bone under standing loading conditions across three bone states: healt...

This study investigates the drug release performance of electrospun composite nanofiber mats, which hold significant promise as drug carriers for site-specific delivery in therapeutic applications such as cancer therapy. Predicting drug release rates from poly(D,L-lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) nanofibers produced via emulsion electrospinning is c...

The present paper analyzes the Rabinowitsch fluid (RF) behavior on a pivoted curved slider with surface roughness (SR) with the aid of the perturbation technique. In order to account for the random roughness of the bearing surfaces, a stochastic random variable with a nonzero mean, variance, and skewness was taken into consideration. The averaged R...

Segmental arterial mediolysis (SAM) is an asymptomatic, non-atherosclerotic and non-inflammatory disease of unknown etiology. It affects medium-sized arteries and is characterized by vacuolization and lysis at the level of the media which can lead to dissection, steno-occlusion, or an aneurysm. In this article, a simulation of fluid-structure inter...

In this paper, the performance enhancement of solar gas heaters is evaluated by taking the advantage of both radiating gas effect and using converged ducts with the accelerated flow. The analyzed solar gas heater includes the glass cover, air gap, absorber, gas channel, bottom plate, and insulation. The inclined position of the bottom plate relativ...
