Barrier flow pattern

M 80] [P 70] Cross-sectional images of the flow patterns, gained by confocal microscopy, demonstrate the interfacial stretching and hence are indicative of mixing in the barrier-embedded mixer [58], At the non-barrier entrance structure clearly the helical flow induced by the slanted grooves is evident. In the barrier... 

All of the above modeling has assumed uniform flow fields, even though heterogeneity in the hydraulic conductivity of the barrier and surrounding aquifer can lead to preferential flow patterns. Some of the implications of preferential flow have been investigated by varying input parameters in the models described above [209 211].

The separation-layer technique benefits from the unique feature of micro mixers, such as to operate in a laminar flow regime [135], By the absence of convective recirculation patterns, at least close to the inlet, the separation layer remains as a barrier between the solution to be mixed, as long as it is not passed by molecules owing to diffusive transport. 

The classification of separations should reflect the patterns of component transport and equilibrium that develop in the physical space of the system. The transport equations show that we have two broad manipulative controls that can be structured variously in space to affect separative transport. First is the chemical potential which controls both relative transport and the state of equilibrium. Chemical potential, of course, can be varied as desired in space by placing different phases, membrane barriers, and applied fields in appropriate locations. A second means of transport control is flow, which can be variously oriented with respect to the phase boundaries, membranes, and applied fields—that is, with respect to the structure of the chemical potential profile. 

The content analysis of the Polish media has been somewhat restricted as compared to that of the Swedish, mainly for practical reasons, such as difficulties in accessing the empirical material and language barriers.9 The analysis of the Polish press has focused primarily on general patterns in the news flow, such as dominant content/ themes and prominent frames. In addition, the search profile was more limited here, even if the number of newspapers studied was greater and the time period longer.10... 

Whereas the formulation of a preparation determines the pattern of absorption and influences systemic availability of the drug, the volume of the preparation deposited in muscle and the vascularity of the injection site determines the rate of absorption. The barrier to absorption is the capillary endothelium, which most drugs readily penetrate by passive diffusion, although small water-soluble molecules may enter capillaries by bulk flow through intercellular pores in the endothelial membrane. Aqueous channels (pores) in the capillary endothelium are approximately 10-fold...
