Corrigendum to “Mathematical modeling of tumor growth in mice following low-level direct electric current” [Math. Comput. Simulation 78 (2008) 112–120]

Obstruction of metallic stents used in the management of malignant biliary strictures is common and in several cases due to tumor growth through the stent wall. In an experimental animal model in rats, a tumor was implanted subcutaneously adjacent to different metallic stents. Ingrowth of tumor through the wall of these stents was frequent. A stent generating direct electric current on the basis of electrolysis was developed and tested in vitro and in the experimental model. The study confirms that an “electrolytic” stent can inhibit ingrowth of tumor.

A Current

The isotope separation effect of a direct electric current in a liquid metal is demonstrated by passing a current through mercury, which is enclosed in a capillary tube. The second part of the paper deals with an attempt of establishing an isotope effect when a direct current is passed through an uranium wire.

ABSTRACTThe paper presents the results of numerical modeling of thermomechanical stresses and thermal fields for conditions of erosion-resistant electrode coatings of magnetically controlled MEMS switches with W-Ti-Cu structure at local temperature and electric current influence in axially symmetrical approximation. It is shown that the introduction of titan interlayer (30-100 nm) in the coating with W-Ti-Cu structure results in considerable (more than two times) decrease of internal thermomechanical stresses between layers that increases coating resistance to delamination. It is established that there is an optimum value of Ti layer thickness at which the minimum thermomechanical stresses are provided.
