Theoretical and experimental studies have been made of the growth and collapse of fixed cavities in a two-dimensional convergent-divergent nozzle. In this particular configuration an important feature was a re-entrant liquid jet which invaded the growing cavity from the downstream end, travelling upstream along the wall and interrupting the cavity when it reached the nozzle throat. A simple two-dimensional unsteady potential flow theory, developed to model the cycle, gave reasonable agreement with cinephotography and predicted the jet behavior. Because vaporization was neglected the theory overestimated the speed of the cycle.
Copper and copper oxide nanomaterials (nCuO) can enter the marine environment negatively impacting mussels, an environmental and commercially relevant organism. We analyzed the effects on the immune system of adult mussels exposed to soluble copper (CuSO 4 , 20-50 μg/L)
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
