ABSTRACT: This study aimed to determine the lethal concentration and the structural and ultra-structural effects caused by the formalin exposure on juveniles of Arapaima gigas. Ninety fish (60.1± 2.5g and 20.2±0.9cm) were exposed to 0, 22, 44, 66, 88 and 110mg L-1 in order to determine the lethal concentration (LC50-96h) that was 36.4mg L-1 of formalin. Sublethal effects were evaluated using histopathological analysis on the gills and assessment of behavioral alterations and clinical signs. The LC50 of formalin for 24, 48 and 72h was 88.3, 64.7 and 56.8mg L-1 respectively. Clinical signs and behavioral changes were found: erratic swimming, lethargy, crowding on the water surface, loss of hydrodynamic equilibrium, spasms and agonistic confrontation, which were observed only at 88 and 110mg L-1. The histological alteration index (HAI) showed that 66, 88 and 100mg L-1 presented significant difference (p<0.05) in relation to unexposed fish, indicating that moderate damage to the gills of fish exposed to formalin had occurred. The mean values of alteration (MVA) for 22, 44, 66, 88 and 110mg L-1 were 1.14, 1.29, 1.51, 1.53 and 1.60 respectively, and differences in this index were only observed with 110 mgL-1 of formalin. It is therefore possible to conclude that sublethal concentrations of formalin (22.0mg L-1) did not compromise the health of juveniles of A. gigas. Finally, concentrations greater than to LC50-96h may be carefully used for short-term exposure, since the MVA for all concentrations tested only indicated localized lesions that did not compromise gills functionality of exposed fish.

The aqueductal CSF and superior sagittal sinus (SSS) blood flow were quantified in 9 healthy volunteers using a Phase Contrast Cine MR technique with retrospective cardiac gating and velocity of encoding of 10 and 30 cm/s. All subjects were examined in basal conditions, during hypocapnia determined by sustained hyperventilation and during hypercapnia (>5%) obtained with rebreathing in a plastic bag. In basal conditions, the aqueductal CSF flow area showed a mean increase of 24% synchronous with the cerebral systole, whereas variations of the SSS flow area during the cardiac cycle were negligible (>9%). The mean flow velocity and volume in the SSS were 11.7 cm/s and 236 ml/min. Mean peak systolic and diastolic aqueductal CSF velocity were + 2 cm/s and −2 cm/s. Hypocapnia determined in all but one subjects a decrease of the SSS blood and aqueductal CSF velocities. During hypocapnia a decrease of the aqueductal CSF flow area was also observed. Hypercapnia was associated with a decrease of the SSS flow velocity in 3 subjects and to minor changes in the remaining 6 subjects. Hypercapnia determined an increase (up to 30%) in the peak systolic and diastolic aqueductal CSF flow velocity in 3 subjects, negligible changes in 5 subjects and a decrease of the same parameters in one subject. The aqueductal CSF flow area was decreased in 8 subjects during hypercapnia. Hypocapnia and hypercapnia are relatively simple tests which can be used to modify the intracranial hydrodynamic equilibrium in healthy subjects. Further investigations are however needed before their application to the study of intracranial hydrodynamics in patients with hydrocephalus.

A method is presented to calculate the resistance of a ship taking the effect of sinkage & trim and viscosity of fluid. The free surface flow field is evaluated by solving RANS equations with VOF method. The sinkage and trim are computed by hydrodynamic equilibrium equations. The method can be divided into direct and indirect method according to the way to calculate trim of ship. The software Fluent is used to implement this method. With dynamic mesh being used, the position of a ship is updated by the motion of “ship + boundary layer” grid zone. The present methods have been applied to the INSEAN2340 hull for different Froude numbers and are found to be efficient for evaluating the flow field, resistance, sinkage and trim.

Hydrodynamic Equilibrium

Advances in lab-on-a-chip technologies are driven by the pursuit of programmable microscale bioreactors or fluidic processors that mimic electronic functionality, scalability, and convenience. However, few fluidic mechanisms allow for basic logic operations on rewritable fluidic paths due to cross-contamination, which leads to random interference between “fluidic bits” or droplets. Here, we introduce a mechanism that allows for contact-free gating of individual droplets based on the scalable features of acoustic streaming vortices (ASVs). By shifting the hydrodynamic equilibrium positions inside interconnected ASVs with multitonal electrical signals, different functions such as controlling the routing and gating of droplets on rewritable fluidic paths are demonstrated with minimal biochemical cross-contamination. Electrical control of this ASV-based mechanism allows for unidirectional routing and active gating behaviors, which can potentially be scaled to functional fluidic processors that can regulate the flow of droplets in a manner similar to the current in transistor arrays.
