The droplet deformation in dispersing units of high-pressure homogenizers (HPH) is examined experimentally and numerically.Due to the small size of common homogenizer nozzles, the visual analysis of the transient droplet generation is usually not possible.Therefore, a scaled setup was used.The droplet deformation was determined quantitatively by us
Abstract The short and similar sized chromosomes of Acropora pose a challenge for karyotyping.Conventional methods, such as staining of heterochromatic regions, provide unclear banding patterns that hamper identification of such chromosomes.In this study, we used short single-sequence probes from tandemly repetitive 5S ribosomal RNA (rRNA) and core
