FROM AN OBLIQUELY FALLING ROD IN A VISCOUS FLUID TO THE MOTION OF SUSPENDED MAGNETIC BEAD CHAINS THAT ARE DRIVEN BY A GRADIENT MAGNETIC FIELD AND THAT MAKE AN ARBITRARY ANGLE WITH THE MAGNETIC FORCE VECTOR: A STOKES FLOW STUDY.

In view of the growing role of magnetic particles under magnetic field influence in medical and other applications, and perforce the bead chaining, it is important to understand more generally the chain dynamics.As is well known, in the presence of a magnetic field, magnetic beads tend to form chains that are aligned with the magnetic field vector.

There is still a great deal of attention in cellular manufacturing systems and proposing capable metaheuristics to better solve these complicated optimization models.In this study, machines are considered unreliable that life span of them follows a Weibull distribution.The intra Armoire and inter-cell movements for both parts and machines are deter

Shellfish aquaculture can provide important ecosystem services to coastal communities, yet these benefits are not typically considered within the aquaculture permit review process.Resource managers have expressed interest in easy-to-use tools, based on robust science, that produce location and operation-appropriate values for beneficial services.Th

Abstract Background Fluoride exposure during pregnancy has been associated with various effects on offspring, including changes in behavior and IQ.To provide clues to possible mechanisms by which fluoride may affect human fetal development, we completed proteomic analyses of cord blood serum collected from second-trimester pregnant women residing i
