Polycystic Diseases in Visceral Organs by Shakila Abdul-Majeed, Surya M. Nauli

“…In particular, dysfunctional cilia have been implicated in a large number of diseases mainly characterized by the presence of fluid-filled cysts in various organs. Aside from polycystic kidney disease (PKD), however, the roles of cilia in polycystic liver disease (PLD), polycystic pancreas disease (PPD), and polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) are still very vague. …”

A Study on the Efficient Method for the Solution of the Saha Equation in the Numerical Simulation of Capillary Discharge by Hengzhu Liu, Cheng Wu, Fengjiang An, Shasha Liao

“…This would cause a relatively longer simulation runtime compared with conventional computational fluid dynamics problems. In this paper, the relatively difficult multidimensional problem of solving the Saha equation is transformed into a one-dimensional problem in the simulation of capillary discharge by constructing an iteration equation about temperature. …”

Modeling and Simulation in Engineering Modeling of the Electrocoagulation Processes in Nonisothermal Conditions by Andrii Safonyk, Olena Prysiazhniuk

“…The paper suggests an approach to modeling the electrocoagulation process that is based on the generalization of the equations of incompressible fluid flow in nonisothermal conditions. In the model was taking into account the ratio between the values of the parameters which characterize the domination of convective and mass-exchange components of the process over diffusion. …”

Colonialism and Historical Imagination by Tlhabane Mokhine ‘Dan’ Motaung

“…Ethnic identities in Africa and South Africa in particular, were forged by colonial powers and apartheid (in the case of the latter) through identity construction and the classic strategy of divide and rule. Fluid pre-colonial social ‘identities’ were recast and calcified into hide-bound, immutable and toxic ethnicity that was invested with a separatist consciousness underwritten by corresponding differential economic livelihoods. …”

Tumours and cancers in Graeco-Roman times by Francois P. Retief, Louise Cilliers

“… In Graeco-Roman times all tumours (Greek: onkoi, abnormal swellings) were considered to be of inflammatory origin, the result of unfavourable humoural fluxes, and caused by an extravascular outpouring of fluid into tissue spaces. The neoplastic nature of tumours is a more recent concept, barely two centuries old. …”
