Decay rates of two tracer gases compared to DNA-tagged liquid aerosol tracer particles: Impact of varying dilution rate and filtration
نویسندگان
چکیده
Current gas-and aerosol-based tracers do not adequately simulate the emission and transport of liquid aerosols containing a pathogen indoors. To evaluate aerosol tracer synthetic DNA, was emitted in chamber to measure changes decay rates as outdoor air dilution rate filter rating varied. DNA concentration were compared size distributions two gases (CO2 SF6) characterize evolution particle distribution simulated by common change measurements. The effect ventilation on assessed at four using HEPA-filtered (0, 1.3, 2.5, 4.2 ACH), simultaneous impact filtration recirculated ACH) tested MERV8 MERV13 filters. concentrations decayed comparable 5–25 μm diameter. Filter type did consistently coarse or removal, though differences observed for fine aerosols. Results indicate DNA-tagged can room, effectiveness control strategies be evaluated observing concentrations.

False positive lower limb lymphoscintigraphy due to inadvertent intra-vascular injection of the tracer: Importance of tracer re-injection
We presented a 30 year-old woman presented with symmetrical swelling of the lower limbs since 5 years ago with sparing of the feet. She was highly suspicious of having lipoedema and was referred for lower limb lymphoscintigraphy to rule out possible lymphedema. Lymphoscintigraphy images showed asymmetrical injection sites and unusually high liver and spleen uptake. Inguinal nodes was not visual...

Recent developments concerning the unsteady dynamic forces on a spherical particle at finite Reynolds number are reviewed for solid particles and clean micro-bubble. A particle frequency response function and an energy transfer function are derived for a solid particle or a contaminated micro-bubble in gas or liquid flow. A simple, unified method for estimating the cut-off frequency, or cut-off...

15 صفحه اولThe Decay of a Quantized Vortex Ring and the Influence of Tracer Particles
We capture the decay of a quantized vortex ring in superfluid helium-4 by imaging particles trapped on the vortex core. The ring shrinks in time, providing direct evidence for the dissipation of energy in the superfluid. The ring with trapped particles collapses more slowly than predicted by an available theory, but the collapse rate can be predicted correctly if the trapping of the particles o...
