In reality, practice has been reduced to either lime in the combustion bed or in a secondary fluidization chamber where the lime is fluidized by the exhaust gasses. ❋ Unknown (2009)
The application of fluidization in the clinkerization of cement raw meal is rather recent. ❋ Unknown (1993)
Technology category with their suggestion titled "Argon gas fluidization instead of mechanical agitation"; G Satheesh, R N Sotaso and N B Ajeeth topped the Environmental category with "Safe access for fumes duct damper maintenance/replacement"; while P Sethuraman and G Vijayakumar triumphed in the Safety category with "Safety interlock for tilting hoist motor". ❋ Unknown (2010)
The fluidization response is not restricted to the HASM cell ❋ Unknown (2009)
Homogeneous stretch induces fluidization; non-homogeneous stretch induces reinforcement. ❋ Ramaswamy Krishnan Et Al. (2009)
Using a novel nanotechnology, we show here that in loading conditions expected in most physiological circumstances the localized reinforcement response fails to scale up to the level of homogeneous cell stretch; fluidization trumps reinforcement. ❋ Ramaswamy Krishnan Et Al. (2009)
But as regards the latter, which is the more physiological case as regards mechanoresponsiveness, we suggest that the universality, the robustness, and, especially, the rapidity of the fluidization response, when taken together, lead to a remarkably simple physical picture: the cytoskeleton belongs to the special class of materials that are soft and fragile. ❋ Ramaswamy Krishnan Et Al. (2009)
Moreover, myosin dynamics alone could hardly account for responses of opposite sign - fluidization versus reinforcement - that are observed in the cases of homogeneous versus nonhomogeneous cell stretch, respectively. ❋ Unknown (2009)
In the cell's repertoire of mechanical responses to imposed stretch - mechanoresponsiveness - the newly discovered existence of cytoskeletal fluidization ❋ Ramaswamy Krishnan Et Al. (2009)
[23] Dynamics of these kinds by themselves are not sufficient to account for the fluidization response, however, because they fail to explain malleability of the cytoskeleton, or its universality [1]. ❋ Ramaswamy Krishnan Et Al. (2009)
The reinforcement response and the fluidization response differ in sign, and this difference suggests either that reinforcement is not triggered by homogeneous cell stretch, or that reinforcement is somehow overwhelmed or blocked by the fluidization response. ❋ Ramaswamy Krishnan Et Al. (2009)
Whereas the reinforcement response is known to be mediated by upstream mechanosensing and downstream signaling, results presented here show the fluidization response to be altogether novel: it is a direct physical effect of mechanical force acting upon a structural lattice that is soft and fragile. ❋ Unknown (2009)
Our new data now establish that during dynamic maneuvers, and at timescales as short as 1 second, strong and inseparable relationships persist between cell traction and cytoskeletal fluidization. ❋ Ramaswamy Krishnan Et Al. (2009)
The fluidization response stands in contrast to the reinforcement response associated with local cell stretch applied through an attached microbead or microneedle, in which case local stiffness and force are seen to increase and to do so on the time scale of seconds. ❋ Unknown (2009)
In this connection, moreover, fluidization of inert versus living fragile matter in response to deformation demonstrates a unification of physical behaviors that is most striking but perhaps not coincidental. ❋ Ramaswamy Krishnan Et Al. (2009)
The fluidization response does not depend upon stretch isotropy ❋ Ramaswamy Krishnan Et Al. (2009)
In the remainder of this report we will refer to the former constellation of responses simply as reinforcement and the latter as fluidization. ❋ Ramaswamy Krishnan Et Al. (2009)
As regards the important issue of mechano-protection, the reinforcement response vis-à-vis the fluidization response both seem logical protective strategies - either brace for the storm or go with the flow. ❋ Unknown (2009)
And since physical force is promiscuous in that it fails to respect the specific but weak molecular interactions that dominate the cytoskeletal lattice, then such an indiscriminant disruption of molecular interactions would explain how fluidization could trump reinforcement. ❋ Ramaswamy Krishnan Et Al. (2009)
