Stability of a liquid layer draining around a horizontal cylinder: Interplay of capillary and gravity forces

François Gallaire, Shahab Eghbali, Simeon Vladimirov Djambov

We study the drainage of a viscous liquid film coating the outside of a solid horizontal cylinder, where gravity acts vertically. We focus on the limit of large Ohnesorge numbers Oh, where inertia is negligible compared to viscous effects. We first study t ...

Columnlike free-interface flows: symmetry breaking and linear instability

Shahab Eghbali

This thesis is dedicated to the analysis of a subclass of interfacial flows, columnlike free-interface flows, from two view angles: (i) the symmetry breaking under geometry-induced or external forces, (ii) their stability against infinitesimal disturbances ...

Swelling and shrinkage of partially saturated gas shales: from laboratory tests to an effective stress framework

Jinwoo Kim

Gas shale swelling during hydraulic stimulation is one of the major challenges in unconventional gas development. It is hypothesized that the large volumetric strain upon water imbibition is a consequence of dramatic changes in capillary pressure and disjo ...

The effect of pore microstructure on strength and chloride ingress in blended cement based on low kaolin clay

Karen Scrivener, Diana Londoño Zuluaga

The objective of this study is to analyse the mechanical and durability properties of a high-performance mortars based on low grade kaolin clay and the effect of electrical conductivity and pore microstructure on the chloride penetration resistance. A tota ...

Sodium thiosulfate, a source of hydrogen sulfide, stimulates endothelial cell proliferation and neovascularization

Georges Wagnières, Jaroslava Joniová, Séverine Marguerite Urfer

Therapies to accelerate vascular repair are currently lacking. Pre-clinical studies suggest that hydrogen sulfide (H2S), an endogenous gasotransmitter, promotes angiogenesis. Here, we hypothesized that sodium thiosulfate (STS), a clinically relevant source ...

FOXC2 controls adult lymphatic endothelial specialization, function, and gut lymphatic barrier preventing multiorgan failure

Mauro Delorenzi, Alexis Rapin, Dominique Velin, Esther Bovay, François Renevey

The mechanisms maintaining adult lymphatic vascular specialization throughout life and their role in coordinating inter-organ communication to sustain homeostasis remain elusive. We report that inactivation of the mechanosensitive transcription factor Foxc ...

The angiopoietin-Tie2 pathway regulates Purkinje cell dendritic morphogenesis in a cell-autonomous manner

Michele De Palma

Neuro-vascular communication is essential to synchronize central nervous system development. Here, we identify angiopoietin/Tie2 as a neuro-vascular signaling axis involved in regulating dendritic morphogenesis of Purkinje cells (PCs). We show that in the ...

Ultraflexible flow directed device and system

Mahmut Selman Sakar, Lucio Feo Pancaldi-Giubbini, Pietro Luciano Jakobus Dirix

A flow directed device adapted to be guided by a fuid, such as blood, flow within a tubular structure such as a blood vessel is disclosed, said device comprising a proximal end (100), a distal end (101) and an elongated body (102) in between defining a lon ...

Very Selective Detection of Low Physiopathological Glucose Levels by Spontaneous Raman Spectroscopy with Univariate Data Analysis

Christian Enz, Sandro Carrara, Assim Boukhayma, Antonino Caizzone, Ata Jedari Golparvar

After decades of research on non-invasive glucose monitoring, invasive devices based on finger blood sampling are still the predominant reference for diabetic patients for accurately measuring blood glucose levels. Meanwhile, research continues improving p ...

Image Clustering Algorithms to Identify Complicated Cerebral Diseases. Description and Comparison

Maria-Alexandra Paun

This article presents two algorithms developed based on two different techniques, from clusterization theory, namely k-means clustering technique and Fuzzy C-means technique, respectively. In this context, the study offers a sustained comparison of the two ...

Bretherton's buoyant bubble

John Martin Kolinski, Wassim Dhaouadi

When a buoyant bubble is inserted into a closed capillary that is slightly smaller than the capillary length, it appears stuck; exactly why this is so is a puzzle that has remained unanswered over the past 50 years. Recent calculations suggest that the bub ...

Collective behavior of red blood cells in confined channels

Ignacio Pagonabarraga Mora

We study the flow properties of red blood cells in confined channels, when the channel width is comparable to the cell size. We focus on the case of intermediate concentrations when hydrodynamic interactions between cells play a dominant role. This regime ...

Assessment of capillary phenomena in liquid composite molding

Véronique Michaud, Baris Çaglar, Feyza Karasu Kiliç, Cem Tekin

The interplay between capillary and viscous forces plays a significant role for optimal part quality in fiber-reinforced composites manufactured by Liquid Composite Molding (LCM); these are however difficult to analyze during flow. Two approaches are propo ...

Multiple roles of lymphatic vessels in peripheral lymph node development

Borja Prat Luri, Esther Bovay, Ann-Helen Willrodt

The mammalian lymphatic system consists of strategically located lymph nodes (LNs) embedded into a lymphatic vascular network. Mechanisms underlying development of this highly organized system are not fully understood. Using highresolution imaging, we show ...

Characterization of a B16-F10 melanoma model locally implanted into the ear pinnae of C57BL/6 mice

Witold Waldemar Kilarski, Esra Güç

The common experimental use of B16-F10 melanoma cells focuses on exploring their metastatic potential following intravenous injection into mice. In this study, B16-F10 cells are used to develop a primary tumor model by implanting them directly into the ear ...

Impact of the microstructure model on coupled simulation of drying and accelerated carbonation

Fabien Jacques Michel Georget

During carbonation, the microstructure of a cement paste is strongly modified, which induces a dynamic feedback loop impacting the global advancement of the reaction. In this study, we investigate the effect of the microstructure model on simulations of ac ...

Perivascular macrophages in health and disease

Michele De Palma

Macrophages are a heterogeneous group of cells that are capable of carrying out distinct functions in different tissues, as well as in different locations within a given tissue. Some of these tissue macrophages lie on, or close to, the outer (abluminal) su ...

Consensus guidelines for the use and interpretation of angiogenesis assays

Patrycja Nowak-Sliwinska, Michele De Palma, George Coukos, Elizabeth Anne Allen, Yan Gong

The formation of new blood vessels, or angiogenesis, is a complex process that plays important roles in growth and development, tissue and organ regeneration, as well as numerous pathological conditions. Angiogenesis undergoes multiple discrete steps that ...

Two-phase displacements in microchannels of triangular cross-section

Erica Kathleen Block

Varying microfluidic channel cross-sectional geometry can dramatically alter fluid flow behavior, particularly for capillary-driven flow. Most fabrication techniques, however, are planar and therefore incapable of providing depth-dependent variations in wi ...
