Many aquatic animals enclose embryos in gelatinous masses, and these embryos rely on diffusion to supply oxygen. Mass structure plays an important role in limiting or facilitating O2 supply, but ...

Osmosis through semi-permeable pores is a complex process by which solvent is driven by its free energy gradient towards a solute-rich reservoir. We have studied osmotic flow across a semi-permeable ...

The experimentally verified hydrodynamic approach to a description of diffusive and convective flow of solute across mutual membrane pathways is compared with the phenomenological equation resulting ...
