Analysis of Drag Torque Characteristic of Hydro-viscous Clutch with Consideration of Cavitation Effect by Sun Chunlian

“…The results show that the velocity distribution is inhomogeneous,and the fluid with the same direction of rotation has high velocity and has the function of diversion. The cavitation occurs in the intersection of the groove,the higher the speed,the larger the film thickness,the more the cavitation phenomenon. …”

Preclinical Positron Emission Tomographic Imaging of Acute Hyperoxia Therapy of Chronic Hypoxia during Pregnancy by Alexander Zheleznyak, Joel R. Garbow, Michal Neeman, Suzanne E. Lapi

“…Herein we report first-in-mouse PET imaging of fetuses employing both tracers [ 18 F]FDG (metabolism) and 64 Cu-ATSM (hypoxia). [ 18 F]FDG PET/CT imaging allowed clear visualization of placental-fetal structures and supported quantification of tracer uptake, making this a sensitive tool for monitoring placental function in preclinical rodent models. These measurements illustrate the potentially irreversible damage generated by chronic exposure to hypoxia, which cannot be corrected by acute exposure to hyperoxia.…”
