The article presents a single-hot-wire probe adapted to detect the direction of flow velocity. The modification consists of the introduction of a third support which allows to measure voltage at the central point of the wire. The sign of voltage difference DeltaU between both parts of the wire is the measure of the direction of flow velocity in a system of coordinates associated with the probe.

Fish migration modeling and habitat assessment in a complex fluvial system.

J Environ Manage

January 2025

State Key Laboratory of Hydraulics and Mountain River Engineering, Sichuan University, Chengdu, 610065, China. Electronic address:

Fish migration patterns are driven by hydrodynamic factors, which are essential in aquatic ecology. This study investigated the hydrodynamic drivers of Gymnocypris przewalskii fish migration in two distinct river reaches-a straight reach (SR) and a confluence reach (CR)- in the area of Qinghai Lake, China, using a 3D numerical model, fish density field data, and four predictive models. Thirteen hydrodynamic factors, with a focus on water depth and velocity, were analyzed to identify their influence on fish migration.

Investigating Cell-Induced Mixing Dynamics in Microfluidic Droplets Using the Lattice Boltzmann Method.

Langmuir

January 2025

CNNFM Lab, School of Mechanical Engineering, College of Engineering, University of Tehran, P.O. Box 11155-4563 Tehran, Iran.

This study investigates the impact of cell dynamics on mixing efficiency within a microfluidic droplet, emphasizing the relationship between cell motion, deformability, and resultant asymmetry in velocity and concentration fields. Simulations were conducted for droplets containing encapsulated cells at varying Peclet numbers ( = 100-800) and coupling constants ( = 0.0025, 0.

Influence of hyperbaric air exposure on the function of brachial artery.

Undersea Hyperb Med

January 2025

Department of Diving and Hyperbaric Medicine, Naval Medical Center, Naval Medical University, Shanghai, P.R. China.

Decompression after diving may inevitably cause the production of bubbles in the body, even without protocol violation. Bubbles produced in the circulation may damage the vascular cells, leading to vascular dysfunction. In this study, five subjects were recruited and subjected to hyperbaric exposure (15 meters; 100 minutes).

Objectives: To produce standards of references for quality control and assess the reproducibility of fetal ultrasound Doppler measurements commonly used for blood flow assessment in fetal growth.

Methods: Women with singleton normal pregnancies were prospectively recruited at University College London Hospital, UK, between 24 and 41 weeks. Umbilical artery (UA), middle cerebral artery (MCA), and their pulsatility indices (PI), resistance indices (RI) and ratios such as cerebro-placental (CPR) and umbilical cerebral ratio (UCR) were obtained twice by two sonographers in training or after completion of training, blind to each other's measurements.
