Characterisation of the Aerodynamic Aerosol Classifier Transfer Function for Particle Sizes up to 5 Micrometres by Simon D. Payne, Tyler J. Johnson, Jonathan P. R. Symonds

“…Abstract The Aerodynamic Aerosol Classifier (AAC) classifies particles with the desired aerodynamic diameter by generating opposing centrifugal and drag forces on the particles using rotating concentric cylinders and a clean sheath flow. Particle transmission through the classifier is described by its transfer function, which is an important indicator of classifier performance. …”

Rheological properties and coalescence stability of degassed crude oil emulsion: Influence of supercritical CO2 treatment by Guangyu Sun, Fujun Sheng, Qingyi Li, Chuanxian Li, Fei Yang, Bo Yao, Yansong Zhao

“…With the technology of enhanced oil recovery by supercritical CO2 flooding (scCO2-EOR) popularized and applied, the water-in-oil (W/O) emulsion can be easily formed in the surface gathering pipeline when the produced crude oil and water flows through the pump and throttle valve. The formation of emulsion increases the resistance and cost of pipeline transportation tremendously. …”

Shock Wave Therapy Enhances Mitochondrial Delivery into Target Cells and Protects against Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome by Kun-Chen Lin, Christopher Glenn Wallace, Tsung-Cheng Yin, Pei-Hsun Sung, Kuan-Hung Chen, Hung-I Lu, Han-Tan Chai, Chih-Hung Chen, Yi-Ling Chen, Yi-Chen Li, Pei-Lin Shao, Mel S. Lee, Jiunn-Jye Sheu, Hon-Kan Yip

“…In vitro and ex vivo studies showed that SW enhances mitochondrial uptake into lung epithelial and parenchyma cells (all p<0.001). Flow cytometry demonstrated that albumin levels and numbers of inflammatory cells (Ly6G+/CD14+/CD68+/CD11b/c+) in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid were the highest in untreated ARDS, were progressively reduced across SW, Mito, and SW + Mito (all p<0.0001), and were the lowest in sham controls. …”
