GROWTH OF FLOC STRUCTURE AND SUBSEQUENCE COMPACTION INTO SMALLER GRANULES THROUGH BREAKUP AND REARRANGEMENT OF ALUMINUM FLOCS IN A CONSTANT LAMINAR SHEAR FLOW

Growth of Floc Structure and Subsequence Compaction into Smaller Granules through Breakup and Rearrangement of Aluminum Flocs in a Constant Laminar Shear Flow

We have constructed an outer-cylinder-rotating Couette device for high-speed shear flow in laminar flow conditions and visualized the structure formation and subsequent rearrangement of PACl (flocculant made of aluminum hydroxide gel) Straw Hats and kaolinite flocs by visible light imaging.In a previous report, we analyzed the case of relatively lo

Cardiac Aspergilloma: A Rare Case of a Cardiac Mass Involving the Native Tricuspid Valve, Right Atrium, and Right Ventricle in an Immunocompromised Patient

Aspergillus can cause devastating opportunistic infections in immunocompromised patients.Rarely does this fungus invade the heart, and when Vitamin C it does, survival is especially poor despite optimal medical and surgical treatment.We report a case of cardiac aspergilloma with involvement of the tricuspid valve and both the right atrium and ventr
