Conductivity of Gd-doped BaCeO3 protonic conductor in H-2-H2O-O-2 atmospheres
(2014)In the present investigation, a radically new and simple method of evaluation of the proton conductivity is proposed. This method is based on the conductivity measurement of ceramic materials depending on the oxygen partial ... -
Data Driven, Predictive Molecular Dynamics for Nanoscale Flow Simulations under Uncertainty
(2013)For over five decades, molecular dynamics (MD) simulations have helped to elucidate critical mechanisms in a broad range of physiological systems and technological innovations. MD simulations are synergetic with experiments, ... -
Dexamethasone decreases the transmesothelial electrical resistance of the parietal and visceral pleura
(2009)The effect of dexamethasone on the transmesothelial electrical resistance (R (TM)) of sheep pleura was investigated by Ussing chamber experiments. Our results show that dexamethasone decreases the R (TM) of sheep pleurae, ... -
Effect of adrenaline on transmesothelial resistance of isolated sheep pleura
(2006)The effect of adrenaline on the transmesothelial resistance (R-TM) of sheep's visceral and parietal pleura was studied using the Ussing chamber technique. Basal transmesothelial resistance of visceral pleura was found to ... -
Effect of amiloride in human and sheep parietal pleura
(2002)The fluid and solute transport properties of human parietal pleura were studied and compared with sheep parietal pleura in vitro. The pleura was mounted as a planar sheet between Ussing-type chambers. The results presented ... -
The effect of co-dopant addition on the properties of Ln(0.2)Ce(0.8)O(2-delta) (Ln = Gd, Sm, La) solid-state electrolyte
(2008)The present work aims at the investigation of Ln(0.2)Ce(0.8)O(2-delta) (where Ln = Sm, La, Gd) structural and electrical properties when in the Ln sub-lattice, Ba2+ and Sr2+ with ionic radii 1.42 and 1.26 angstrom, ... -
Effect of grafting on growth, performance and yield of aubergine (Solanum melongena L.) in greenhouse and open-field
(2011)Seedlings of aubergine (Solanum melongena L.) cv. 'Rima' were used as scion (R) and control (non-grafted) and rootstock (self-grafted) (RR), while two hybrid tomatoes 'Heman' (Lycopersicon hirsutm) and 'Primavera' (Lycopersicon ... -
Effect of magnetic field on near-wall coherent structures and heat transfer in magnetohydrodynamic turbulent channel flow of low Prandtl number fluids
(2011)A numerical study is carried out of the magnetic field effects on the coherent structures and the associated heat transfer in a turbulent channel flow with constant temperature at the bottom (cold) and top (hot) walls. ... -
Effects of leptin on the expression of fatty acid-binding proteins in human placental cell cultures
(2012)The present study aimed to evaluate the protein expression of the transmembrane translocase FAT/CD36 and cytoplasmic H-FABP and L-FABP in human trophoblast tissue and evaluate the effects of exogenous leptin upon differential ... -
Effects of SNP, ouabain, and amiloride on electrical potential profile of isolated sheep pleura
(2001)The fluid and solute transport properties of pleural tissue were studied by using specimens of intact visceral and parietal pleura from adult sheep lungs. The samples were transferred to the laboratory in a Krebs-Ringer ... -
Electrochemical properties of ceramic membranes based on SrTi0.5Fe0.5O3-delta in reduced atmosphere
(2012)The present work aims at the investigation of the electrochemical properties of SrTi0.5Fe0.5O3-delta as a membrane material for hydrogen production via electrochemical reforming. The dependence of the electrical conductivity ... -
An empirical model of sediment deposition processes in Lake Kerkini, Central Macedonia Greece
(2010)The deposition processes in Kerkini Reservoir, since 1933, are examined in this paper. Built on the course of River Strymonas at the plain of Serres for anti-flooding control, it was gradually developed as a multipurpose ... -
Endothelin-1 Acutely Reduces the Permeability of Visceral Sheep Peritoneum In Vitro Through Both Endothelin-A and Endothelin-B Receptors
(2013)Mesothelium is an important part of the peritoneal barrier for water and ion transport, essential for effective peritoneal dialysis (PD). Peritoneal fibrosis has been associated with PD treatment failure. Endothelin-1 ... -
Ethanol/water mixture permeation through a Nafion (R) based membrane electrode assembly
(2007)In the present work, the permeation behavior of ethanol/water mixtures through a Nafion((R))- 115 based membrane electrode assembly (MEA) has been investigated. The crossover measurements were carried out in a single fuel ... -
Fluid Flow at the Nanoscale: How Fluid Properties Deviate from the Bulk
(2013)The studies of fluid flows have been lately transferred to a significant extend at the micro- and the nano-scale, since there is increasing interest in applications that could make possible the construction of systems from ... -
