Abstract

This study explores the stabilization mechanisms of concentrated emulsions with tunable morphology using amphiphilic polymer-grafted nanoparticles (PGNPs). We employ coarse-grained molecular simulations to investigate concentrated oil-in-water emulsions stabilized by partially hydrolyzed poly(vinyl alcohol)-grafted poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) particles. Two grafting architectures were examined: hydrophilic-hydrophobic (AB-type) diblock PGNPs and reverse BA-type diblock PGNPs. Our findings reveal that AB-type diblock PGNPs tend to aggregate, leading to droplet-droplet coalescence. In contrast, BA-type diblock PGNPs disperse effectively in the water phase, stabilizing robust emulsion through a space-filling mechanism. The study further demonstrates that the stability and morphology of the emulsions can be tuned by varying the number of PGNPs. Our results suggest that BA-type diblock PGNPs are more effective in stabilizing concentrated emulsions, offering insights for the design of novel emulsifiers in industrial applications., Comment: 6 pages, 4 figures

16. Visualizing intestines for diagnostic assistance of ileus based on intestinal region segmentation from 3D CT images

Abstract

This paper presents a visualization method of intestine (the small and large intestines) regions and their stenosed parts caused by ileus from CT volumes. Since it is difficult for non-expert clinicians to find stenosed parts, the intestine and its stenosed parts should be visualized intuitively. Furthermore, the intestine regions of ileus cases are quite hard to be segmented. The proposed method segments intestine regions by 3D FCN (3D U-Net). Intestine regions are quite difficult to be segmented in ileus cases since the inside the intestine is filled with fluids. These fluids have similar intensities with intestinal wall on 3D CT volumes. We segment the intestine regions by using 3D U-Net trained by a weak annotation approach. Weak-annotation makes possible to train the 3D U-Net with small manually-traced label images of the intestine. This avoids us to prepare many annotation labels of the intestine that has long and winding shape. Each intestine segment is volume-rendered and colored based on the distance from its endpoint in volume rendering. Stenosed parts (disjoint points of an intestine segment) can be easily identified on such visualization. In the experiments, we showed that stenosed parts were intuitively visualized as endpoints of segmented regions, which are colored by red or blue.

Abstract

The extraction and time evolution of optimal perturbation (OP) offers abundant physical insights in fluid dynamics. Nonlinear OP (NLOP) analysis provides an approach for obtaining the trajectory to induce the maximum changes in the flow field. In an extension into unsteady flow field, we tracked the changes of trajectory by an application of initial perturbation field in the compressible Navier–Stokes equation, and we focused on the entropy production (EP) to characterize the trajectory. We proposed entropy production-based NLOP (EP-NLOP) analysis for compressible flows and investigated the effect of evaluation function on the extracted Ops using the subsonic flow around an airfoil. Compared with the conventional disturbance energy (DE-) based NLOP (DE-NLOP) analysis, we demonstrated that the OPs with different spatial wavelength and concentration regions were successfully extracted due to the different spatial sensitivity of evaluation function. In the EP-NLOP analysis, the spatial distribution of OP extracted the larger energy dissipation upstream of the separation points for the short evaluation time. For the long evaluation time, EP-NLOP analysis extracted the transient-time evolution of interacting separation vortices, attributing the multiple wavelengths of OPs. These differences in the OPs offer promising insights into fluid dynamics. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

The objective of this study was to evaluate the intramammary distribution of MRI-detected mass and focus lesions that were difficult to identify with conventional B-mode ultrasound (US) alone. Consecutive patients with lesions detected with MRI but not second-look conventional B-mode US were enrolled between May 2015 and June 2023. Following an additional supine MRI examination, we performed third-look US using real-time virtual sonography (RVS), an MRI/US image fusion technique. We divided the distribution of MRI-detected mammary gland lesions as follows: center of the mammary gland versus other (superficial fascia, deep fascia, and atrophic mammary gland). We were able to detect 27 (84%) of 32 MRI-detected lesions using third-look US with RVS. Of these 27 lesions, 5 (19%) were in the center of the mammary gland and 22 (81%) were located in other areas. We were able to biopsy all 27 lesions; 8 (30%) were malignant and 19 (70%) were benign. Histopathologically, three malignant lesions were invasive ductal carcinoma (IDC; luminal A), one was IDC (luminal B), and four were ductal carcinoma in situ (low-grade). Malignant lesions were found in all areas. During this study period, 132 MRI-detected lesions were identified and 43 (33%) were located in the center of the mammary gland and 87 (64%) were in other areas. Also, we were able to detect 105 of 137 MRI-detected lesions by second-look conventional-B mode US and 38 (36%) were located in the center of the mammary gland and 67 (64%) were in other areas. In this study, 81% of the lesions identified using third-look US with RVS and 64% lesions detected by second-look conventional-B mode US were located outside the center of the mammary gland. We consider that adequate attention should be paid to the whole mammary gland when we perform third-look US using MRI/US fusion technique. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

Among active flow control methods, a counter-flow jet is known to be efficient in supersonic to hypersonic flow regimes for drag reduction at high-Reynolds number regime. In order to apply the counter-flow jet in various flight environments, it is necessary to investigate the effect of drag reduction at not only low and medium altitudes but also high ones with low atmospheric density. To investigate the effect of the Reynolds number on drag reduction with the counter-flow jet, the stagnation pressure ratio (PR) defined as the ratio of the stagnation pressure of the counter-flow jet to that of the free-stream flow is fixed to 1.05, at which the flow field is known to be classified as short penetration mode (SPM) in high-Reynolds number regime. The Mach numbers of the free-stream flow and counter-flow jet are 6 and 2.86, respectively. The stagnation pressure of the free-stream flow is varied from 6.9 kPa to 20 kPa and the stagnation temperature of the free-stream flow and counter-flow jet is 610 K and 294 K, respectively. The maximum Knudsen number based on the radius of the hemisphere model is 0.01. The numerical simulations were performed solving the laminar, unsteady, axisymmetric Navier-Stokes equations by the symmetric TVD scheme with the second-order accuracy in space and the explicit strong stability preserving Runge-Kutta (SSPRK) method. The numerical results show that at the same stagnation PR, shock structure, the penetration length to the flow field, and drag reduction effect are almost identical irrespective of the difference in the free-stream stagnation pressure. Moreover, by decreasing the Reynolds number, the flow field becomes more stable due to the viscosity effect. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

45. Role of viscosity in macroscopic description of cluster formation in granular flow.

Abstract

The numerical analysis was made to simulate the cluster formation in granular flows, which was seen on a sheet of free-falling small glass beads, in a framework of the macroscopic fluid dynamics using the Compressible and Non-Expanding (CNE) fluid model developed by the author. In the CNE fluid model, the resistance against compression is represented by the pressure that is given as a function of density. Introducing two different paths for the change in the pressure and the density, that is, the irreversible compression and the elastic unloading/re-compression, and setting the speed of sound in the latter to be much higher than that in the former, almost monotonic increase in the density is described, because the density decrease in the unloading process becomes small. In the two-dimensional hypothetical problem, the stripe pattern was successfully simulated solving the Euler or Navier-Stokes analyses with the CNE fluid model. The mechanism of the pattern formation was considered in terms of the entropy change in time and space. The roles of the pressure and the viscosity in the formation of the stripe pattern were also investigated. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
