This activates a pathway that leads to proliferation and increased growth of the airways and pulmonary vessels, nicely summarized in the acronym PLUG: "Plug the Lung Until it Grows" (PLUG) [6].
We show the following striking progression of the dependence of the gelling behaviour of the sum kernel on the RTD: it is a non-gelling kernel in a plug flow vessel, a gelling kernel in a well-mixed vessel and an instantaneously gelling kernel when a vessel contains a partially stagnant zone.
This paper presents a design for a permeation plug release vessel (PPRV) for PMCH.
Platelets continue to aggregate and start to plug the vessel, finally leading to the formation of a fibrin-stabilized thrombus and vasoconstriction [ 23].
As mentioned above, thrombin cleaves fibrinogen to yield fibrin and activates blood platelets resulting in the formation of an effective blood plug after vessel injury.
The distal portion acts as a plug in the vessel wall to secure the vessel wall defect, thereby creating a safe exit strategy for the procedure.
Moreover, SEM showed the accumulation of callose degradation products after fungal ramification inside the xylem of susceptible hosts, which may have aided in plugging the vessels resulting in blockage of upward translocation of mineral solutes.
It can grow rapidly in infected plants and subsequently produces a large amount of sclerotia that plugs the vessels, resulting in wilting of the plant.
Conceptual prototypes (fig. 1) formed the basis for further testing by solving two problems; a depth limiting device for exact control of the system in a clinical angiographical setting and a detachment zone, thereby leaving the distal part as a plug in the vessel wall to prevent hemorrhage and thus providing a closure method after completion of the intervention.
Most vexing, he added, is that a better alternative exists: San Francisco, Los Angeles and Seattle are among the West Coast ports that employ a process called cold ironing, in which docked vessels plug into what amounts to a giant extension cord from the shore.
