Secondary flowIn fluid dynamics, flow can be decomposed into primary flow plus secondary flow, a relatively weaker flow pattern superimposed on the stronger primary flow pattern. The primary flow is often chosen to be an exact solution to simplified or approximated governing equations, such as potential flow around a wing or geostrophic current or wind on the rotating Earth. In that case, the secondary flow usefully spotlights the effects of complicated real-world terms neglected in those approximated equations.
Canal sodiumUn canal sodium, ou sodique, est un canal ionique spécifique aux ions sodium. Il en existe de plusieurs types. Le premier à avoir été décrit est le canal sodique du potentiel d'action, responsable entre autres de la dépolarisation du neurone et du myocyte, de la propagation du signal nerveux et de la propagation de l'activation électrique du myocarde. thumb|Vue schématique du canal sodique La sous-unité Alpha constituée de quatre domaines et formant le pore central du canal ainsi que ses deux sous-unités béta Il faut différencier les canaux sodium stricts des canaux perméants aux cations, c’est-à-dire principalement sodium et potassium.
History of metamaterialsThe history of metamaterials begins with artificial dielectrics in microwave engineering as it developed just after World War II. Yet, there are seminal explorations of artificial materials for manipulating electromagnetic waves at the end of the 19th century. Hence, the history of metamaterials is essentially a history of developing certain types of manufactured materials, which interact at radio frequency, microwave, and later optical frequencies.
Canal potassiqueEn biologie cellulaire, les canaux potassiques constituent le type le plus répandu de canal ionique et sont présents dans pratiquement tous les organismes vivants. Ils forment des pores traversant les membranes cellulaires et sont sélectifs aux ions potassium. On les trouve dans la plupart des types de cellules et ils contrôlent un large éventail de fonctions cellulaires. Dans les cellules excitables comme les neurones, ils sont responsables des potentiels d'action et définissent le potentiel membranaire de repos.
Medical laboratory scientistA medical laboratory scientist (MLS) or clinical laboratory scientist (CLS) or medical technologist (MT) performs diagnostic testing of blood and body fluids in clinical laboratories. The scope of a medical laboratory scientist's work begins with the receipt of patient or client specimens and terminates with the delivery of test results to physicians and other healthcare providers. The utility of clinical diagnostic testing relies squarely on the validity of test methodology.
Mass flow rateIn physics and engineering, mass flow rate is the mass of a substance which passes per unit of time. Its unit is kilogram per second in SI units, and slug per second or pound per second in US customary units. The common symbol is (ṁ, pronounced "m-dot"), although sometimes μ (Greek lowercase mu) is used. Sometimes, mass flow rate is termed mass flux or mass current, see for example Schaum's Outline of Fluid Mechanics. In this article, the (more intuitive) definition is used. Mass flow rate is defined by the limit: i.
Metamaterial cloakingMetamaterial cloaking is the usage of metamaterials in an invisibility cloak. This is accomplished by manipulating the paths traversed by light through a novel optical material. Metamaterials direct and control the propagation and transmission of specified parts of the light spectrum and demonstrate the potential to render an object seemingly invisible. Metamaterial cloaking, based on transformation optics, describes the process of shielding something from view by controlling electromagnetic radiation.
