Red Blood Cell Aggregation

Red Blood Cell Aggregation

Red blood cells in humans—and most other mammals—have a tendency to form aggregates with a characteristic face-to-face morphology similar to a stack of coins. Known as rouleaux these aggregates are a normally occurring phenomenon and have a major impact on blood rheology. What is the underlying mechanism that produces this pattern? Does this really happen in blood circulation? And do these rouleaux formations have a useful function? The first book to offer a comprehensive review of the subject Red Blood Cell Aggregation tackles these and other questions related to red blood cell (RBC) aggregates. The book covers basic clinical and physiological aspects of this important biophysical phenomenon and integrates these areas with concepts in bioengineering. It brings together state-of-the-art research on the determinants mechanisms and measurement and effects of RBC aggregation as well as on variations and comparative aspects. After an introductory overview the book outlines factors and conditions that affect RBC aggregation. It presents the two hypotheses—the bridging model and the depletion model—that provide potential mechanisms for the adhesive forces that lead to the regular packing of the cells in rouleaux formations. The book also reviews the methods used to quantify RBC aggregation in vitro focusing on their importance in clinical practice. Chapters discuss the effect of RBC aggregation on the in vitro rheology of blood as well as on tube flow. The book also looks at what happens in the circulation when red blood cells aggregate and examines variations due to physiological and pathophysiological challenges. The concluding chapter explores the formation of red blood cell aggregates in other mammals. Written by leading researchers in the field this is an invaluable resource for basic science medical and clinical researchers; graduate stu

Pressure and Temperature Well Testing

Pressure and Temperature Well Testing

The book comprises two parts: Pressure and Flow Well Testing (Part I) and Temperature Well Testing (Part II) and contains numerous authors’ developments. Due to the similarity in Darcy’s and Fourier’s laws the same differential diffusivity equation describes the transient flow of incompressible fluid in porous medium and heat conduction in solids. Therefore it is reasonable to assume that the techniques and data processing procedures of pressure well tests can be applied to temperature well tests. The book presents new methods to determine the formation of permeability and skin factors from tests conducted in simulated wells designing interference well tests processing constant bottom-hole pressure tests estimation of the formation temperature and geothermal gradients from temperature surveys and logs in-situ determination of the formation thermal conductivity and contact thermal resistance of boreholes temperature regime of boreholes (cementing of production liners) and the recovery of thermal equilibrium in deep and superdeep wells. Processing and analysis of pressure and geothermal data are shown on numerous field examples from different regions of the world. The book is intended for students engineers and researchers in the field of hydrocarbon geophysics and geology groundwater searching and exploitation and subsurface environment examination. It will be also useful for specialists studying pressure and temperature in parametric deep and superdeep wells. | Pressure and Temperature Well Testing

Soil Engineering Testing Design and Remediation

Soil Engineering Testing Design and Remediation

In the last forty years at least fifty books have been written on the subject of soil mechanics most of them textbooks. Only a few touch on practical applications. Soil Engineering: Testing Design and Remediation supplies the information needed to fill the gap between textbook learning and practical know-how. When engineers deal with major projects such as the Teton Dam or the Leaning Tower of Pisa they need high-tech solutions. More often than not however they deal with the foundations for warehouses schools medium-rise buildings and residential structures projects that need low-tech solutions. Ninety percent of the time consulting engineers don't require mathematical treatment or computer analysis they require experience. Soil engineering problems cannot be resolved with textbook information alone. This book provides the practical meaning of the different aspects of soil mechanics the use of unconfined compression test data the meaning of consolidated tests the practical value of lateral pressure and more. In addition to the technical aspects of foundation investigation in the real world the shadow of litigation looms over every consultant's head. The author covers legal issues in detail. After several years in foundation investigation most consultants realize that soil engineering is a combination of art and science. Soil Engineering: Testing Design and Remediation demystifies this connection and supplies real-world examples of practical applications. This hands-on ready reference will be essential tool for any consultant working in the field. | Soil Engineering Testing Design and Remediation

Nanotherapeutics From Laboratory to Clinic

Nanotherapeutics From Laboratory to Clinic

The emergence of nanotherapeutics is attributable to the integration of nanotechnology recombinant DNA technology and synthetic organic chemistry with medicine for treating critical human diseases in a more efficient and specific molecular approach than therapy with conventionally-designed and formulated drugs. Nanotherapeutics: From Laboratory to Clinic comprehensively discusses the current shortcomings for delivery of classical (small) drugs macromolecular therapeutics and recombinant vaccine via the common intravascular and extravascular routes. The book describes the synthetic/chemical engineering methods as well as recombinant hybridoma and phage display technologies to fabricate different types of nanoparticulate carriers and drugs. It also reveals the diversified approaches undertaken by harnessing nanotechnology to overcome the multistep extracellular and intracellular barriers and to facilitate the development of novel strategies for therapeutic delivery and imaging. The author elaborates on the preclinical and clinical trials of potential nanoparticle-based products in animal models and patients and the approval/commercialization of nanotherapeutics addressing all relevant human diseases. A focus on the above issues in a concise but illustrative manner fills the gap between the laboratory findings originating from the research on identification of cellular and systemic barriers of classical and macromolecular drugs along with development of strategies for fabrication and testing of nanotherapeutics and the clinical outcomes emanating from the testing of the selected potential nanotherapeutics on patients of particular diseases. The book also fills a gap in the existing literature between the design and development of diversified nanotherapeutics for various purposes and the investigation and evaluation of potential barriers and resultant therapeutic efficacy of those nano-medicine formulations. | Nanotherapeutics From Laboratory to Clinic

Asphalt Mixture Specification and Testing

Asphalt Mixture Specification and Testing

This guide reviews the way asphalt mixture can be specified with particular emphasis on the test methods used to measure performance. The advantages and limitations of the tests are described for measuring the desired property and engineers can specify a test according to the material’s use. The book starts with a resume of specifications and their relative advantages and disadvantages for different situations. Then different properties are discussed in terms of: their specification; the test methods that can be used (primarily the EN 12697 suite of European methods of which the author has been responsible for drafting); the extent to which the results predict performance; the levels that can be achieved with different asphalt mixes and types; what levels if any should be specified in various situations and pavement layers; and which other properties are adversely affected by enhanced performance. The final section covers various aspects of sustainability with a strong emphasis on durability. Better understanding should enable clients and consultants who specify pavements to produce durable asphalt pavements more economically and also help asphalt producers and students trying to understand the black art of asphalt. | Asphalt Mixture Specification and Testing
