The HAN method for a thermal analysis of forced non-Newtonian MHD Reiner-Rivlin viscoelastic fluid motion between two disks.

In this article, the semi-analytical technique of the Hybrid Analytical and Numerical Method (the HAN Method) is used to study the non-transient forced non-Newtonian MHD Reiner-Rivlin viscoelastic fluid motion that is constrained between two plates. The magnetic field is also present in this model. The governing equations are in the PDE form and by using the Von Kármán similarity variables, they transformed into a set of ODEs.

A novel transgenic mouse strain expressing PKCβII demonstrates expansion of B1 and marginal zone B cell populations.

Protein kinase Cβ (PKCβ) expressed in mammalian cells as two splice variants, PKCβI and PKCβII, functions in the B cell receptor (BCR) signaling pathway and contributes to B cell development. We investigated the relative role of PKCβII in B cells by generating transgenic mice where expression of the transgene is directed to these cells using the Eµ promoter (Eµ-PKCβIItg). Our findings demonstrate that homozygous Eµ-PKCβIItg mice displayed a shift from IgDIgM toward IgDIgM B cell populations in spleen, peritoneum and peripheral blood.
