Direct simulation Monte Carlo (DSMC) method in low Knudsen rarefied flows at micro/nanoscales remains a big challenge for researchers due to large computational requirements. In this article, the application of the simplified Bernoulli-trials (SBT)/dual grid collision scheme is extended for solving low Knudsen/low speed and low Knudsen/high gradient rarefied micro/nanoflows. The main advantage of the SBT algorithm is to provide accurate calculations using much smaller number of particles per cell, i.e., 〈N〉 ≈ 2, which is quite beneficial for near continuum DSMC simulations where the requirement of fine meshes faces the simulation with serious memory restrictions. Comparing the results of the SBT/dual grid scheme with the no time counter (NTC) scheme and majorant frequency scheme (MFS), it is shown that the SBT/dual grid scheme could successfully predict the thermal pattern and hydrodynamics field as well as surface parameters such as velocity slip, temperature jump and wall heat fluxes. Therefore, we present SBT/dual grid algorithm as a suitable alternative of the standard collision schemes in the DSMC method for typical micro/nanoflows solution. Nonlinear flux-corrected transport (FCT) algorithm is also employed as a filter to extract the smooth solution from the noisy DSMC calculation for low speed/low Knudsen number DSMC calculations.

Ultrastructural Findings

Characterization of Borrelia burgdorferi strains by means of negative staining EM has become an integral part of many studies related to the biology of the Lyme disease organism. However, relying solely upon negative staining to compare new isolates with prototype B31 or other borreliae is often unsatisfactory. To obtain more satisfactory results, we have relied upon a correlative approach encompassing a variety EM techniques, i.e., scanning for topographical features and cryotomy, negative staining and thin sectioning to provide a more complete structural characterization of B. burgdorferi.For characterization, isolates of B. burgdorferi were cultured in BSK II media from which they were removed by low speed centrifugation. The sedimented borrelia were carefully resuspended in stabilizing buffer so as to preserve their features for scanning and negative staining. Alternatively, others were prepared for conventional thin sectioning and for cryotomy using modified procedures. For thin sectioning, the fixative described by Ito, et al.
