Influence of forskolin and carbachol on intestinal absorption of horseradish peroxidase in the goldfish (Carassius auratus)
Differential in vivo and in vitro intestinal permeability to lactulose and mannitol in animals and humans: a hypothesis
The role of rectal chloride secretion in childhood constipation
Background Disturbance in fluid secretion, driven by chloride secretion, might play a role in constipation. However, disturbed chloride secretion in those patients has yet to be evaluated. Therefore, the aim of this study was to compare chloride secretion in rectal biopsies of children with functional constipation (FC) to those without constipation. Methods To measure changes in short circuit current (Iscin μAcm-2) reflecting chloride secretion, intestinal biopsies from chi
Relaxation rates and collision integrals for Bose-Einstein condensates
Near equilibrium, the rate of relaxation to equilibrium and the transport
properties of excitations (bogolons) in a dilute Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC)
are determined by three collision integrals, ,
, and . All three collision integrals
conserve momentum and energy during bogolon collisions, but only conserves bogolon number. Previous works have considered the
contribution of only two collision integrals, and . In this work, we show that the third collision integral makes a significant contribution to the bogolon number
relaxation rate and needs to be retained when computing relaxation properties
of the BEC. We provide values of relaxation rates in a form that can be applied
to a variety of dilute Bose-Einstein condensates.Comment: 18 pages, 4 figures, accepted by Journal of Low Temperature Physics
