TLDR
Low Reynolds number flow theory finds wide application in such diverse fields as sedimentation, fluidization, particle-size classification, dust and mist collection, filtration, centrifugation, polymer and suspension rheology, and a host of other disciplines.Abstract:
Low Reynolds number flow theory finds wide application in such diverse fields as sedimentation, fluidization, particle-size classification, dust and mist collection, filtration, centrifugation, polymer and suspension rheology, flow through porous media, colloid science, aerosol and hydrosal technology, lubrication theory, blood flow, Brownian motion, geophysics, meteorology, and a host of other disciplines. This text provides a comprehensive and detailed account of the physical and mathematical principles underlying such phenomena, heretofore available only in the original literature.read more

Sphingolipid–Cholesterol Rafts Diffuse as Small Entities in the Plasma Membrane of Mammalian Cells
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that using protein constructs with identical ectodomains and different membrane regions and vice versa provides the viscous damping of the membrane domain in the lipid bilayer to probe the dynamics and size of lipid rafts in the membrane of living cells.

Boundary slip in Newtonian liquids: a review of experimental studies
TL;DR: A review of experimental studies regarding the phenomenon of slip of Newtonian liquids at solid interfaces is provided in this article, with particular attention to the effects that factors such as surface roughness, wettability and the presence of gaseous layers might have on the measured interfacial slip.
