2. 1. Rheological properties of lubricating fluids

   Author : Jan Lundberg; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Machine Elements; Maskinelement;

   Abstract : Obliteration (gobbing) caused by water based lubricating fluids is studied experimentally by analyzing the flow through a small channel. Flow measurements, energy dispersive X-ray microscopy and photos show, that the rate of gobbing depends on which type of fluid that is being used. READ MORE

   Abstract : Coagulase-negative staphyloccoci (CoNS) are the most frequently isolated micro-organisms from infected cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) shunts and temporary ventricular drainage catheters, used in modern neurosurgery.

Bone loss in inflammatory diseases is considered a consequence of cytokine induced RANKL and subsequent enhanced osteoclast formation. READ MORE
