The narrower the V-groove is, the better the capillary flow of liquids is even for highly viscous liquids such as blood; this effect has been used to produce an autonomous assay. [5] [34] The fabrication of a V-groove is more difficult than a U-groove as it poses a higher risk for faulty construction, since the corner has to be tightly sealed. [29]
NB. Picture shows the anti-drip groove and pinhole underneath the spout of Melitta coffee pots (protected by D.R.P. patents) model No. 301 for 1½ cups and model No. 304 for 4 cups, presumably manufactured in the 1920s or 1930s.)

Ascites (/ ə ˈ s aɪ t i z /; [5] Greek: ἀσκός, romanized: askos, meaning "bag" or "sac" [6]) is the abnormal build-up of fluid in the abdomen. [1] Technically, it is more than 25 ml of fluid in the peritoneal cavity, although volumes greater than one liter may occur. [4]

The low protein theory for the pathogenesis of kwashiorkor has been used to teach that capillary exchange between the lymphatic system and circulating blood is impaired by a reduced oncotic (i.e. colloid osmotic pressure, COP) in the blood, as a consequence of inadequate protein intake, so that the hydrostatic pressure gradient, which favors ...
For a tank that is out of service with the floor removed, grooves are cut into the hard pad. A channel is also cut from the end of the groove to extend beyond the tank chime. Perforated pipe with a mesh cover is laid at the bottom of the cut grooves. The groove is then filled with sand. The tank bottom is then installed as normal.
anti-describing something as 'against' or 'opposed to' another Greek ἀντί (antí), against antibody, antipsychotic: apo-away, separated from, derived from Greek ἀπό (apó) apoptosis, apocrine: archi-first, primitive Greek ἀρχι-(arkhi-) archinephron arsen(o)-of or pertaining to a male; masculine Greek ἀρσενικός (arsenikós)
Self-cleaning surfaces are a class of materials with the inherent ability to remove any debris or bacteria from their surfaces in a variety of ways. The self-cleaning functionality of these surfaces are commonly inspired by natural phenomena observed in lotus leaves, gecko feet, and water striders to name a few.
