Sperm motility in modulated microchannels

Sperm cells swim through the fluid by a periodic wave-like beating of their flagellum.At low Reynolds numbers and in confinement, the directed motion of sperm and other microswimmers is strongly influenced by steric and hydrodynamic wall interactions.We model sperm motility in mesoscale hydrodynamics simulations by imposing a planar traveling bendi

Normalization and Trace Element Contamination of Soils in a Karstic Polje - An Example from the Sinjsko Polje, Croatia

Estimation of the anthropogenic over natural contribution in the chemical content of soils and sediments is very important but not easy to measure.Normalization based on either aluminium or iron, as reference conservative elements having supposed natural distributions, is a useful tool in solving this problem.However, several independent factors ca
