Efficiency of Hanging Silt Curtains in Crossflow

Disposable antimicrobial and sporicidal privacy curtains: Cost benefit of hanging longer.

The patient environmentmay harbor potential pathogensmaking it a possible source for cross-transmission to the hands of health care workers, patients, and visitors.1 Privacy curtains surrounding patient beds are constantly touched and may become a reservoir for dissemination.2,3 A recent outbreak in an ear, nose, and throat ward revealed 10 fabric curtains were contaminated with the same strain...

assessment of the efficiency of s.p.g.c refineries using network dea

data envelopment analysis (dea) is a powerful tool for measuring relative efficiency of organizational units referred to as decision making units (dmus). in most cases dmus have network structures with internal linking activities. traditional dea models, however, consider dmus as black boxes with no regard to their linking activities and therefore do not provide decision makers with the reasons...

Mycetyoma in a horse--curtains.

To the Editor, With this letter we provide an update on a case of eumycetoma caused by Madurella mycetomatis in a mare that we previously reported on [1].

Optimization of pulsed jets in crossflow

We use direct numerical simulation to study the mixing behaviour of pulsed jets in crossflow. The pulse is a square wave and the simulations consider several jet velocity ratios and pulse conditions. Our objective is to study the effects of pulsing and to explain the wide range of optimal pulsing conditions found in experimental studies of the problem. The central theme is that pulsing generate...
