In this study, the rheological properties of different samples of olive oils, from the same producer were obtained in a wide range of temperature. At constant temperatures, the shear rate was also varied to obtain heating effects. It was found that all the samples reach a minimum viscosity in the temperature range of 120°C–150°C before thickening to higher viscosities. The viscosity remained almost unchanged in high shear rates regardless of temperature, indicating no shear thinning effects. No thixotropic effects were observed for the olive oils. These findings can provide insight into the microstructural, physiological and sensory changes at frying (high) temperatures.

We propose a model that takes into account the effect of flow-modified permittivity on electrorheology (ER). Due to dielectric relaxation, a shear flow causes the induced particle dipole moments in an ER fluid to tilt in a direction away from the direction of the applied DC electric field. Results from our computer simulation indicate that at high shear rates this misalignment (tilt angle) between the particle dipole moments and the applied electric field plays a crucial role in producing ER effects. By choosing particle-fluid dielectric and conductive mismatches to optimize the tilt angle, our simulation produces ER effects at much higher shear rates than those in earlier simulation work, even though there is no chain structure at these high shear rates. The increase in shear stress due to the applied electric field in our simulation is nearly constant over the wide range of shear rates examined, in qualitative agreement with experimental results. In addition, our model generates results that agree with earlier simulation work at low shear rates, where the particle dipole moments are essetially aligned with the field and the chain model is adequate.

Knowledge of the behavior of lubricants over a wide range of pressures and shear rates is fundamental to an understanding of elastohydrodynamic (EHD) lubrication. The mechanical properties of elastohydrodynamic lubricants have been measured by a number of researchers under the conditions of low pressures and low shear rates, as well as under high pressures and high shear rates. This paper presents experimental results for the synthetic lubricant 5P4E subjected to moderate pressures (60 MPa to 700 MPa) and high shear rates (105 s−1) using the technique of pressure-shear plate impact. Thin layers (25 μm thick) of the lubricant are confined between two hard elastic plates; the assembly is subjected to impact by a parallel plate in a manner designed to induce both compression and shear loading. For approximately 1 μs the compressed lubricant is subjected to a simple shearing motion; during that time, continuous records of the shear stress and shear rate are obtained using laser interferometry. Three test configurations were used in order to cover the pressure range, and special techniques were developed for preparing the specimen sandwich. The pressure range covered includes both the liquid and glassy states of the lubricant. The results show that a limiting shear stress model is an appropriate model for lubricant behavior under these conditions. The experimental results also show little change in the lubricant shearing behavior across the glass transition.

SummaryEdoxaban is an oral, direct factor Xa (FXa) inhibitor under late-phase clinical development. This study compared the antithrombotic efficacy of edoxaban with that of an indirect FXa inhibitor, fondaparinux, in in vivo venous and arterial thrombosis models and in ex vivo perfusion chamber thrombosis model under low and high shear rates in rats. Venous and arterial thrombi were induced by platinum wire insertion into the inferior vena cava and by application of FeCl3 to the carotid artery, respectively. The perfusion chamber thrombus was formed by blood perfusion into a collagen-coated capillary at 150 s-1 (low shear rate) and 1,600 s-1 (high shear rate). Effective doses of edoxaban that reduced thrombus formation by 50% (ED50) in venous and arterial thrombosis models were 0.076 and 0.093 mg/kg/h, respectively. In contrast, ED50 of fondaparinux in the arterial thrombosis model (>10 mg/kg/h) was markedly higher compared to ED50 in the venous thrombosis model (0.021 mg/kg/h). In the perfusion chamber thrombosis model, the ratio of ED50 under high shear rate (1.13 mg/kg/h) to that under low shear rate (0.63 mg/kg/h) for edoxaban was 1.9, whereas that for fondaparinux was more than 66. While the efficacy of fondaparinux markedly decreased in arterial thrombosis and in a high-shear state, edoxaban exerted consistent antithrombotic effects regardless of flow conditions. These results suggest that shear rate is a key factor in different antithrombotic effects between edoxaban and fondaparinux.
