Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a progressive fatal interstitial lung disease that affects three million patients worldwide and currently without an effective cure. Zinpentraxin alfa, a recombinant human pentraxin-2 (rhPTX-2) protein, has been evaluated as a potential drug candidate for the treatment of IPF. Clinical pharmacokinetic analysis of zinpentraxin alfa has been challenging historically due to interference from...

To study instability in the unsteady cavitating flow in a liquid rocket engine inducer, visualization experiments of non-cavitating and cavitating flows inside a model inducer were carried out at different flow conditions. Visual experiments were carried out to capture the evolution of non-cavitating and cavitating flows in a three-bladed inducer by using a high-speed camera. The external characteristic performance, cavitation...
