a majority of people, asked a simple yes/no question, were indeed opposed to the creation of animalhuman hybrids. However (in line with similar surveys on animal experimentation) support for the procedure rose to 61 per cent when the potential benefits of the work were explained. Announcing the eventual decision in September, the HFEA emphasised the importance of this public support – which res...

Leak Monitoring

The efficient use of water resources is a subject of major concern for water utilities and authorities. One of the main challenges in improving the efficiency of drinking water networks is to minimize water loss in pipes due to leakage. Water leaks in water distribution networks are unavoidable. They can cause significant economic losses in fluid transportation and an increase on reparation cos...

Leak detection

This paper will give an introduction to the leak detection of vacuum systems. Various methods to detect leaks as well as the most widely used helium leak detectors and their different applications are presented. Practical examples in the context of accelerator vacuum systems will illustrate the topic.

The cuff leak test: does it "leak" any information?

Post-extubation stridor and upper-airway obstruction are multifactorial in etiology and can occur as a result of laryngotracheal edema, intubation trauma, excessive cuff pressure with mucosal ulceration, and prolonged intubation with secondary inflammation and granuloma formation.1 Cuff leak tests (CLTs) were introduced in an attempt to predict post-extubation upper-airway obstruction and reduc...
