The methodology involves the use of sessile drop approach to determine the contact angle formed on the infected and uninfected blood cells in the presences of glycerin as the probe liquid. It was observed that the presence of the virus in the human blood cells depleted the immune system of infected cells giving rise to a decreased CD4 count on the average of 514.5 ± 243.10 when compared with the uninfected cells CD4 count of 1267.2 ± 368.27. The measurement of contact angle also unveils that among the blood components separated in the course of the experiment, the white blood cell is the principal target of the virus with the highest average contact angle of 63.4 ± 3.20 while the uninfected white blood cells have a lower contact angle of 48.5 ± 2.75. The result of the measured contact angle was used for MATLAB computation to determine the surface energy, force of adhesion and the Hamaker coefficient. Response surface methodology was also employed in this study to visualize the viral impact on the blood cells as well as generating model equations for prediction of the interaction between the virus and the blood cells. Infected surfaces on the average have higher values of Hamaker coefficient than uninfected surfaces. It was discovered that an increase in the contact angles causes a significant increase in Hamaker coefficient with a corresponding decrease in the CD4 counts on the infected surfaces. This increase is attributed to the presence of the HCV virus in the infected samples and the highest value was observed in the white blood cell component. Computation of the combined negative Hamaker coefficient revealed that there exists a possibility of separating the virus from the human lymphocyte, hence a negative value of the A132 of the infected sample was seen to be −0.150 × 10−18 mJ/m2 (−0.150 × 10−25 J). This is in agreement with the value reported in literature when an alternative method to contact angle was used (ultraviolent spectrophotometer approach) to investigate HIV infected human cells. The combined negative Hamaker coefficient of −0.281 × 10−25 J was obtained in that study. Both results have unveiled the possibility of applying the concept of combined negative Hamaker coefficient as a means of separating the virus from the lymphocytes. It therefore implies that additives in the form of drug(s) to the serum (as an intervening medium) which could alter the surface energy of the serum to a value of ≥−0.150 × 10−25 J can have the capability of totally isolating the virus from the lymphocytes.展开更多

The balance equation between water vapor and airborne liquid water is derived. From the balance equation, a new formula of precipitate rate is got. The analysis shows that in the air stream with some upward vertical velocity ( ), the condensed liquid water can precipitate under the condition with (q is specific humidity) and? only, otherwise it is detained in the air and becomes airborne liquid water. Not only does precipitating liquid water contain condensed liquid water, but also contains converged and existing airborne liquid water. Following above discussion, improved dynamic equations on non-uniform saturated moist atmosphere are provided.展开更多

Lots of characteristics are obtained for different mesh sizes and frequencies. Then the reflection coefficient caused by the non-uniform mesh can be calculated according to the theory of equivalent transmission line. By comparing it with that calculated by MWI in the uniform mesh, it is found that the evaluating error can be largely reduced and is in good agreement with that directly computed by FDTD method. And this extension of MWI can be used in the error analysis of complex mesh.展开更多
