This work addresses the special problems of measuring flow velocity distributions in rock by NMR methods. Specifically, these problems are to measure very slow flows as well as flows in the presence of background magnetic field gradients caused by heterogeneities of the rock. We modify a stimulated echo sequence for use in diffusion measurements, in order to maximize velocity sensitivity and minimize background gradient effects. Accurate velocity images of Soltrol 220 oil in sandstone were made for flow velocities up to around 0.04 mm/s with an imager that does not have echo-planar capability. Accurate velocity distributions by the propagator method can be obtained even with stimulated echo delays of 1.9 T1 by phase cycling combined with suitable crusher gradients.

In cardiovascular research, electromagnetic fields generated by Riga plates are utilized to study or manipulate blood flow dynamics, which is particularly crucial in developing treatments for conditions such as arterial plaque deposition and understanding blood behavior under varied flow conditions. This research predicts the flow patterns of blood enhanced with gold and maghemite nanoparticles (gold-maghemite/blood) in an electromagnetic microchannel influenced by Riga plates with a temperature gradient that decays exponentially, under sudden changes in pressure gradient. The flow modeling includes key physical influences like radiation heat emission and Darcy drag forces in porous media, with the flow mathematically represented through unsteady partial differential equations solved using the Laplace transform (LT) method.

Introduction: Research on head impact characteristics, especially position-specific investigations in football, has predominantly focused on collegiate and professional levels, leaving a gap in understanding the risks faced by high school players. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the effect of three factors-player position, impact location, and impact type-on the frequency, severity, and characteristics of impacts in high school American football. Additionally, we examined whether and how player position influences the distribution of impact locations and types.

In today's data-intensive atmosphere, performance evaluation in the banking industry depends on timely and accurate insights, leading to better decision making and operational efficiency. Traditional methods for assessing bank performance often need to be improved to handle the volume, velocity, and variety of data generated in real time. This study proposes an event-driven approach for performance evaluation in banking alongside a Hadoop-based architecture.

Here, we discover that the formation of spectral sidebands is always accompanying by the stabilized DPQS in the fiber laser, which is different from the conventional DS. Due to the combination of positive FOD and self-phase modulation, low- and high-frequency components are distributed at the leading and trailing edges of the pulse, forming the pedestals that propagate with it.

Culturing living cells in three-dimensional environments increases the biological relevance of laboratory experiments, but requires solutes to overcome a diffusion barrier to reach the centre of cellular constructs. We present a theoretical and numerical investigation that brings a mechanistic understanding of how microfluidic culture conditions, including chamber size, inlet fluid velocity and spatial confinement, affect solute distribution within three-dimensional cellular constructs. Contact with the chamber substrate reduces the maximally achievable construct radius by 15%.
