The semi-analytical solution for transient electroosmotic flow through elliptic cylindrical microchannels is derived from the Navier-Stokes equations using the Laplace transform.The electroosmotic force expressed by the linearized Poisson-Boltzmann equation is considered the external force in the Navier-Stokes equations.The velocity field solution
A platform trial approach to proof-of-concept (POC) studies in autism spectrum disorder: Autism spectrum POC initiative (ASPI)
Background: Over the past decade, autism spectrum disorder (ASD) research has blossomed, and multiple clinical trials have tested potential interventions, with varying results and no clear demonstration of efficacy.Lack of clarity concerning appropriate biological mechanisms to target and lack of sensitive, objective tools to identify subgroups and
The impacts of ground-based logging equipment on forest soil
Soil properties can be affected by heavy equipment used for skidding but these impacts vary greatly with site conditions and operational practices.We assessed the effects of ground-based skidding on site disturbance and soil physical properties.We also tested the effects of skid trail slope and traffic frequency on soil compaction, total porosity,
Radiation-associated angiosarcoma of the brain with repeated intracerebral hemorrhage: A case report
Background: Delayed side effects of irradiation to the brain are now known to include the induction of new neoplasms.Radiation-induced angiosarcoma of the central nervous system is extremely rare.We report a case of radiation-associated angiosarcoma.Case description: A 40-year-old man was taken to our hospital by ambulance with loss of appetite and
