Microbiocenosis Of Open Cavities Of The Body

The article is devoted to a review of the topical problem of our time “Microbiocenosis of open cavities of the body and its role in the occurrence of many diseases of the human body ”. It has now been proven that the normal microflora of the human body plays a huge role in the normal course of life processes. The slightest violation of the composition of microorganisms leads to various irreversible defects in the normal course of human life, which are associated with the functions of the microbiocenosis and which no medicine can replace. The concept of microbiocenosis appeared in the 70s of the last century, although the first stone in this direction was put by Louis Pasteur, who proved the role of a microorganism in the process of fermentation and digestion. Many scientists contributed to the leap forward development of this science, which was forced due to errors in the use of antibiotics and chemotherapeutic drugs. Yes, indeed, the path of development of the science of biocenoses is closely related to the misuse of drugs, which often leads to dysbiosis. In addition, environmental pollution due to the uncontrollable development of urbanization plays a huge role in the development of dysbiotic processes.Therefore, with the aim of acquainting readers with the concept of biocenoses, certain pathways of pathogenetic links in the development of various diseases in violation of the composition of the normal microflora of the human body, we set ourselves the task of conducting a partial review of the achievement of the science of biocenoses of open cavities of the body.

Paleokarst reservoirs: Efficient and flexible characterization using point-spread function-based convolution modeling

Paleokarst originate from collapse, degradation and infill of karstified rock, and typically feature spatially heterogeneous elements such as breakdown products, sediment infills and preserved open cavities on all scales. Paleokarst may further contain aquifer or hydrocarbon reservoirs as well as pose a drilling hazard during exploration. Seismic characterization of paleokarst reservoirs therefore remains both a challenging and important task. We illustrate how the application of 2(3)D spatial convolution operators, referred to as point-spread functions (PSFs), allows for seismic modeling of complex and heterogeneous paleokarst geology at a cost equivalent to conventional repeated 1D convolution. Unlike the latter, which only considers vertical resolution effects, PSF-based convolution modeling yields simulated prestack depth migrated images accounting for 3D resolution effects both vertically and laterally caused by acquisition geometries, frequency-band limitations, and propagation effects in the overburden. We confirm the validity of the approach by a comparison of modeled results to results obtained from a published physical modeling experiment. Finally, we present four additional separate case studies to highlight the usability and flexibility of the approach by assessing different issues and challenges pertaining to characterizing and interpreting seismic features of paleokarst. Through PSF-based convolution modeling, geoscientists working with paleokarst seismic data may be better able to understand how various acquisition and modeling parameters affect seismic images of paleokarst geology.

Multiplexed fiber-optic Fabry-Pérot cavities for refractive index and temperature sensing fabricated using diamond-blade dicing

We report on multiplexing several Fabry-Pérot (FP) cavities in single-mode optical fibers for highprecision spatially resolved sensing of refractive indices (RI) of liquids. Resonators are fabricated by cutting small slots into fibers using a diamond-blade dicing saw and additional coating with thin Ta2O5 layers to increase cavity reflectance. Temperature compensation of RI measurements is achieved either by evaluating the reflection signals resulting from the solid core parts between different open-cavity sensor elements, or by using a thin Si inlay glued into one of the open cavities. The multiplexing performance and accuracy of the fabricated sensors with up to four open cavities were tested on sucrose solutions over a range of temperatures.

Numerical Investigation of Open Cavities with Parallel Insulated Baffles

This research reports the outcome of a numerical investigation of convection in ventilation square cavities contains parallel insulated baffles. The left and right walls of the cavity are kept at the high temperature. Whereas the top, bottom cavity walls, parallel baffles are adiabatic. The opening slots are positioned at the top, bottom corners of the hot vertical walls. The governing Navier-Stokes equations are formulated in the form of vorticity- stream functions. The finite difference method is used to find the values of the primitive variables. The effects of baffles size (Sb − 0.25, 0.50, 0.75), 3 various positions of the parallel baffle, Rayleigh number (103 − 106), Reynolds number (30, 300, 600) are discussed with the flow fields, isotherms, and Nusselt number. It is found that the behavior of ventilation cavities does not only depend on the size of the baffles and its positions. It highly depends on the configuration of the ventilation cavity too. Further, the flow fields are restricted by the largest baffles size of Sb = 0.75.
