Triple-region structure for turbulent-flow in a square duct - a finite-element approach

The Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes equations for describing the turbulent flow in a straight square duct are formulated with two different turbulence models. The governing equations are then expanded as a multi-deck structure in a plane perpendicular to the streamwise direction, with each deck characterized by its dominant physical forces as commonly carried out in analytical work using triple-deck expansion. The resulting equations are numerically integrated using higher polynomial (H-P) finite element technique for each cross-sectional plane to be followed by finite difference representation in the streamwise direction until a fully developed state is reached. The computed results using the two different turbulence models show fair agreement with each other, and concur with the vast body of available experimental data. There is also general agreement between our results and the recent numerical works anisotropic k-epsilon turbulence model

Faculty Publications and Creative Works 1999

One of the ways in which we recognize our faculty at the University of New Mexico is through Faculty Publications & Creative Works. An annual publication, it highlights our faculty\u27s scholarly and creative activities and achievements and serves as a compendium of UNM faculty efforts during the 1999 calendar year. Faculty Publications & Creative Works strives to illustrate the depth and breadth of research activities performed throughout our University\u27s laboratories, studios and classrooms. We believe that the communication of individual research is a significant method of sharing concepts and thoughts and ultimately inspiring the birth of new ideas. In support of this, UNM faculty during 1999 produced over 2,292 works, including 1,837 scholarly papers and articles, 78 books, 82 book chapters, 175 reviews, 113 creative works and 7 patented works. We are proud of the accomplishments of our faculty which are in part reflected in this book, which illustrates the diversity of intellectual pursuits in support of research and education at the University of New Mexico

Beiträge zum Verständnis der Heterogenität hepatischer Makrophagen unter besonderer Berücksichtigung der Kupfferschen Zellen

Die Leber stellt als zentrales Stoffwechselorgan, dem über die Pfortader nahezu das gesamte venöse Blut der unpaaren Bauchorgane zufließt, eine Art „Torwächter“ für potentielle Noxen, die über den enterischen Weg in den Körper der Wirbeltiere eindringen dar. Diese permanent hohe Exposition gegenüber Toxinen und Pathogenen bedingt zwei zentrale Eigenschaften der Leber: Zum einen zeigen Hepatozyten und Zellen der Lebersinus konstant eine hohe Filter- und Abbauaktivität. Zum anderen herrscht in der Leber ein ausgeprägt tolerogenes Millieu, welches nur durch starke proinflammatorische Noxen gebrochen werden kann. Aus diesem Grund sind detaillierte Betrachtungen der immunologischen Akteure der Leber auf zellularer Ebene nicht nur von grundlagenwissenschaftlichem, sondern auch von großem klinischen Interesse. Gegenstand dieser Arbeit waren vor allem die Makrophagen der Leber, die in organoresidente Makrophagen, so genannte Kupfferzellen, und knochenmarkabhängige Makrophagen und Monozyten unterschieden werden können. (Eckert et al. 2015). Mit PDCA-1 konnte in dieser Arbeit ein Oberflächenmolekül erstmals zur Charakterisierung von Kupfferzellen eingesetzt werden, das zuvor vor allem aus der Forschung an pDCs bekannt war. Darüber hinaus konnten zwei Subpopulationen von Kupfferschen Zellen identifiziert werden, die sich in ihrer Größe und der Expression zellulärer Adhäsionsmoleküle unterscheiden, allerdings allenfalls gering in ihrer Strahlensensibilität und ihrer embryonalen Herkunft. Diese beiden Gruppen konnten aus technischen Gründen nicht für funktionelle Essays herangezogen werden, zeigen aber in in-vivo-Experimenten ein distinktes numerisches Verhalten während einer metabolisch-induzierten und einer bakteriellen Hepatitis. Ferner konnten unter Zuhilfenahme der Durchflusszytometrie Einblicke in das frühe numerische Verhalten der myeloischen Populationen der Leber bei entzündlichen Läsionen gewonnen werden, die nahelegen, dass es sich beim in der Literatur behaupteten „Kupfferzellverlust“ während entzündlicher Lebererkrankungen lediglich um ein relatives Phänomen handelt. Die Ergebnisse dieser Arbeit erweitern das Wissen um die numerische Verteilung und ontologische Zugehörigkeit myeloischer Zellen insbesondere in der Leber

Annual Report of the University, 1994-1995, Volumes 1-4

DEMONSTRATING THE STRENGTH OF DIVERSITY A walk around the UNM campus as students change classes demonstrates UNM\\u27s commitment to diversity. Students and professors from a variety of ethnic backgrounds crowd the sidewalks and fill classrooms. Over the past year UNM moved forward with existing and new programs to interest more minority students, faculty and staff in the University and to aid in their success while here. Hispanic Outlook in Higher Education recently recognized the University\\u27s endeavors, ranking UNM as one of the best colleges in the nation at graduating Hispanic students. Provost Mary Sue Coleman says diversity contributes to a stimulating environment where faculty and students have different points of view and experiences. The campus becomes a more intellectually alive place, she says. The efforts to build a diverse campus go hand in hand with the University\\u27s goals of achieving academic excellence and attracting the best and brightest. MINORITY ENROLLMENT In the fall of 1994 a total of 32 percent of the student body came from underrepresented groups. The UNM School of Law had the largest number of Native Americans enrolled in any law school in the country
