Finding Ways to Improve Mechanical Ventilation

Also, authors say they limited their analysis to acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) patients, who are among the most problematic to manage among the mechanically ventilated patients. The adverse effects of mechanical ventilation in ARDS arise from two main causes: unphysiological increases of transpulmonary pressure and unphysiological increases/decreases of pleural pressure during posi...

Random close packing revisited: ways to pack frictionless disks.

We create collectively jammed (CJ) packings of 50-50 bidisperse mixtures of smooth disks in two dimensions (2D) using an algorithm in which we successively compress or expand soft particles and minimize the total energy at each step until the particles are just at contact. We focus on small systems in 2D and thus are able to find nearly all of the collectively jammed states at each system size....

Can Teams Help to Close the Gender Competition Gap

Previous research finds that significant gender differences occur when experimental subjects choose whether or not to enter a competition, even when performance levels are similar across genders. In this paper, we investigate the potential for competing in teams to reduce these differences. We first replicate earlier findings that men are more likely to compete than women when the competitions ...
