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

Blood Libel and Its Derivatives The Scourge of Anti-Semitism

Blood Libel and Its Derivatives The Scourge of Anti-Semitism

At the doorstep of the twenty-first century one would expect that medieval concepts such as blood libel the accusation that Jews kill children to use their blood in religious ritual would have been discarded by any civilized human being. Certainly in the Christian world where the story originated and endured for centuries modern attitudes have nearly erased these barbaric accusations. But in Arab and Islamic worlds where enmity towards Israel and Zionism has conditioned beliefs attitudes positions and fantasies blood libel and similar charges are still part of life. Most people are unaware of the history of blood libel and do not perceive links between it and many of the false accusations currently hurled against the state of Israel. Raphael Israeli argues that individuals and organizations guilty of human rights crimes project crimes onto Israel to avoid awareness of their own guilt. Certainly when countries ruled by dictators set the agenda of the UN Council for human rights Israel is consistently censured and condemned. Accusations of apartheid and charges of discrimination against Muslims are frequently made. Israel is accused of plots against Muslims in order to harm their productive sectors of using weapons of mass destruction to commit genocide against Arabs of injecting poisonous substances into Palestinian children of poisoning Arab lands under the guise of agricultural aid and of laying siege to peaceful citizens. All of these charges are derivatives of blood libel and have been adopted by Middle East Jihadists in their struggle against Israel. This volume aims to explain the origins of the charge of blood libel and define the ways its derivatives have achieved acceptance in certain parts of the world today. | Blood Libel and Its Derivatives The Scourge of Anti-Semitism

An Introduction to High-Pressure Science and Technology

Non-Equilibrium Air Plasmas at Atmospheric Pressure

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

Tubular String Characterization in High Temperature High Pressure Oil and Gas Wells

Tubular String Characterization in High Temperature High Pressure Oil and Gas Wells

High temperature high oil pressure oil and gas well completion testing have always been a technical challenge and basic theoretical research is one of the key factors needed to ensure a successful completion test. The completion test basic theory includes: a stress analysis of the completion string completion string buckling behavior and temperature and pressure distribution prediction. The completion string is the main bearing and power transmission component for oil and gas well operations and production and it is required to take on a combination of loads which result in completion string deformation. Because of these complex relationships completion string stress analysis has become increasingly more complicated. This book discusses the characters of tubular strings in HTHP (High Temperature - High Pressure) oil and gas wells. These characters include the mechanical behavior of tubular strings and the temperature and pressure variation of tubular strings in different conditions. Mathematical models are established for different conditions and solution existence and uniqueness of some models is discussed providing algorithms corresponding to the different models. Numerical experiments are presented to verify the validity of models and the feasibility of algorithms and the impact of the parameters of models for oil and gas wells is also discussed. This book is written for production and testing engineers to provide them with the tools to deal more effectively with the numerical decisions they have to take and for researchers and technicians in petroleum and gas testing and production engineering. Finally it is also intended to serve as a reference book for mathematicians college teachers and students. | Tubular String Characterization in High Temperature High Pressure Oil and Gas Wells

Numerical Modeling of COVID-19 Neurological Effects ODE/PDE Analysis in R

Numerical Modeling of COVID-19 Neurological Effects ODE/PDE Analysis in R

Covid-19 is primarily a respiratory disease which results in impaired oxygenation of blood. The O2-deficient blood then moves through the body and for the study in this book the focus is on the blood flowing to the brain. The dynamics of blood flow along the brain capillaries and tissue is modeled as systems of ordinary and partial differential equations (ODE/PDEs). The ODE/PDE methodology is presented through a series of examples 1. A basic one PDE model for O2 concentration in the brain capillary blood. 2. A two PDE model for O2 concentration in the brain capillary blood and in the brain tissue with O2 transport across the blood brain barrier (BBB). 3. The two model extended to three PDEs to include the brain functional neuron cell density. Cognitive impairment could result from reduced neuron cell density in time and space (in the brain) that follows from lowered O2 concentration (hypoxia). The computer-based implementation of the example models is presented through routines coded (programmed) in R a quality open-source scientific computing system that is readily available from the Internet. Formal mathematics is minimized e. g. no theorems and proofs. Rather the presentation is through detailed examples that the reader/researcher/analyst can execute on modest computers. The PDE analysis is based on the method of lines (MOL) an established general algorithm for PDEs implemented with finite differences. The routines are available from a download link so that the example models can be executed without having to first study numerical methods and computer coding. The routines can then be applied to variations and extensions of the blood/brain hypoxia models such as changes in the ODE/PDE parameters (constants) and form of the model equations. | Numerical Modeling of COVID-19 Neurological Effects ODE/PDE Analysis in R

Nouveau-riche Nationalism and Multiculturalism in Korea A media narrative analysis

Nouveau-riche Nationalism and Multiculturalism in Korea A media narrative analysis

The unprecedented economic success of South Korea since the 1990s has led in turn to a large increase in the number of immigrants and foreign workers in Korean industries. This book describes and explains the experiences of discrimination and racism that foreigners and ‘new’ Koreans have faced in a multicultural South Korea. It looks at how society has treated the foreigners and what their experiences have been given that common discourse about race in Korea surrounds issues of Korean heterogeneity and pure blood nationalism. Starting with critiques of Korean scholarship and policy framework on multiculturalism this book argues for the need to revisit the most fundamental aspect of multiculturalism: the host population’s ability to respect new comers rather than discriminate against them. The author employs a critical realist understanding of racism and attempts to identify long-lasting institutional factors which make Korean society less than welcoming ‘new’ or temporary Koreans. A large number of new reportages are identified and systematically analysed based on the principles of grounded theory method. The findings show that nouveau-riche nationalism and pure-blood nationalism are widely practised when Koreans deal with ‘foreigners’. As a newly industrialised and highly successful nation Korean society is still in transition and treats foreigners according to economic standard of their countries of origin. As one of the very first books in English about foreigners’ experiences of Korean nationalism multiculturalism and discrimination it will be of great interest to students and scholars of Sociology Ethnic studies Asian studies Korean studies Media studies and Cultural studies. | Nouveau-riche Nationalism and Multiculturalism in Korea A media narrative analysis
