TL;DR: In this paper, particles that move at low Reynolds numbers are separated from a filter material on which they are adsorbed by subjecting the filter material, in a liquid medium, to agitation of sufficient magnitude to create turbulence and shear forces acting on the filter, such that the particles become desorbed from the filter and become suspended in the liquid medium.

TL;DR: In this article, an apparatus for monitoring the presence of toxic substances in liquids is disclosed, which is based on the use of luminescence systems such as those produced by luminescent microorganisms.

TL;DR: Scanning electron microscopical studies of acrylic corrosion casts of the blood vascular system of the gills of Pholas dactylus and of critical-point dried preparations of whole gills, supplemented by histological preparations and observations on whole animals, show that theBlood vascular system has two interconnecting pathways, one frontal and one abfrontal, both of which arise and terminate in the primary vessels of thegills.

TL;DR: In this article, a device for collecting a sample of the first pass portion of urine voided by a donor isolated from the midstream portion of the urine comprises a first part (1) comprising an opening at its upper end (4) adapted to receive urine voided by the donor, a urine collection body (3) downstream of the upper end and a closable exit (6) located downstream at the lower end, the exit providing a circular orifice (7), a second part (2) consisting a collecting vessel(10) which is in communication with the exit

TL;DR: Among the words that have migrated from the laboratory to the high street is ‘antioxidant’ as mentioned in this paper. But will the man in the street be familiar with the word "antioxidants"?
