Leukostasis, a complication of acute leukemia, occurs when leukemia cells aggregate in and obstruct the microvasculature, leading to profound damage of vital organs like the brain and lungs. The underlying mechanisms are poorly understood but are likely related to the abnormal mechanical properties of leukemia cells. Using atomic force microscopy and microfluidic devices to quantify cell deformation, I found that leukemia cells taken from patients with leukostasis were significantly stiffer than leukemia cells taken from asymptomatic patients. These results suggest that increased leukemia cell stiffness may be an independent leukostasis risk factor and could be useful for predicting leukostasis. In addition, I found that chemotherapy...

Pursuing advanced materials never stops. Due to small cell size, high cell population density, and uniform cell size distribution, plastic foams have been widely applied in the fields of MEMS, biomedical materials, automotive, construction, and so on. During the manufacturing of plastic foams, cell-to-cell diffusion governs the final nature, structure and density of foamed products. Thus, fundamental understanding of cell-to-cell diffusion in plastic foaming is essential. In this book, mechanisms of cell-to-cell diffusion are elucidated through the following studies. Firstly, a theoretical model was developed to simulate foam expansion and collapse of extruded filamentary foam. Secondly, the moving Finite Element Method was utilized to...

A cellular network is a radio network made up of a number of radio cells (or just cells) each served by at least one fixed-location transceiver known as a cell site orbase station. These cells cover different land areas to provide radio coverage over a wider area than the area of one cell, so that a variable number of portable transceivers can be used in any one cell and moved through more than one cell during transmission. Cellular networks offer a number of advantages over alternative solutions: increased capacity, reduced power usage, larger coverage area, reduced interference from other signals. An example of a simple non- telephone cellular system is an old taxi driver's radio system where the taxi company has several transmitters...

A cellular repeater, cell phone repeater, or wireless cellular signal booster, a type of bi-directional amplifier as commonly named in the wireless telecommunications industry, is a device used to boost the cell phone reception to the local area by the usage of a reception antenna, a signal amplifier and an internal rebroadcast antenna. These are similar to the cellular broadcast towers used to broadcast by the network providers, but are much smaller, usually intended for use by one building. Modern cellular repeater amplifiers work by rebroadcasting cellular signals inside the building. The systems usually use an external, directional antenna to collect the best cellular signal, which is then transmitted to an amplifier unit which...

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The center-of-gravity (CG) is the point at which an aircraft would balance if it were possible to suspend it at that point. It is the mass center of the aircraft, or the theoretical point at which the entire weight of the aircraft is assumed to be concentrated. Its distance from the reference datum is determined by dividing the total moment by the total weight of the aircraft. The center-of-gravity point affects the stability of the aircraft. To ensure the aircraft is safe to fly, the center-of-gravity must fall within specified limits established by the manufacturer.

A centrifugal fan is a mechanical device for moving air or gases. It has a fan wheel composed of a number of fan blades, or ribs, mounted around a hub. As shown in Figure 1, the hub turns on a driveshaft that passes through the fan housing. The gas enters from the side of the fan wheel, turns 90 degrees and accelerates due to centrifugal force as it flows over the fan blades and exits the fan housing.

The design of a Supply Chain network has a great impact on a company’s performance. Simulation modeling and optimization techniques were selected to analyze and solve supply chain and distribution storage problems. The techniques were applied to a decision making process of reconfiguring an existing distribution storage system, and modifying it from centralized to a decentralized one. This research presented a methodology for identifying data needs, building an analytical database, creating simulation models with Arena software, optimizing the models with OptQuest software, and performing sensitivity analysis. As a result of applying this methodology, it was found that the centralized distribution storage system allows the company to...

A centrifugal fan (also squirrel-cage fan, as it looks like a hamster wheel) is a mechanical device for moving air or gases. It has a fan wheel composed of a number of fan blades, or ribs, mounted around a hub. As shown in Figure 1, the hub turns on a driveshaft that passes through the fan housing. The gas enters from the side of the fan wheel, turns 90 degrees and accelerates due to centrifugal force as it flows over the fan blades and exits the fan housing. Centrifugal fans can generate pressure rises in the gas stream. Accordingly, they are well-suited for industrial processes and air pollution control systems. They are also common in central heating/cooling systems. Данное издание не является...

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! A centrifugal pump is a rotodynamic pump that uses a rotating impeller to increase the pressure of a fluid. Centrifugal pumps are commonly used to move liquids through a piping system. The fluid enters the pump impeller along or near to the rotating axis and is accelerated by the impeller, flowing radially outward into a diffuser or volute chamber (casing), from where it exits into the downstream piping system. Centrifugal pumps are used for large discharge through smaller heads. The first machine that could be characterized as a centrifugal pump was a mud lifting machine which appeared as early as 1475 in a treatise by the Italian Renaissance engineer Francesco di Giorgio Martini.

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Centrifugal compressors, sometimes referred to as radial compressors, are a special class of radial-flow work-absorbing turbomachinery that include pumps, fans, blowers and compressors. The earliest forms of these dynamic-turbo machines were pumps, fans and blowers. What differentiates these early turbo machines from compressors is that the working fluid can be considered incompressible, thus permitting accurate analysis through Bernoulli's equation. In contrast, modern centrifugal compressors are higher in speed and analysis must deal with compressible flow. Данное издание не является оригинальным. Книга печатается по технологии...

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! A centrifugal governor is a specific type of governor that controls the speed of an engine by regulating the amount of fuel (or working fluid) admitted, so as to maintain a near constant speed whatever the load or fuel supply conditions. It uses the principle of proportional control. It is most obviously seen on steam engines where it regulates the admission of steam into the cylinder(s). It is also found on internal combustion engines and variously fueled turbines, and in some modern striking clocks. Данное издание не является оригинальным.
