The Impact of Dry Versus Moist Heat
P eripheral IV catheter insertion is a common nursing procedure often required for the administration of chemotherapy, antibiotics, blood products, fluids, and other medical therapies in hematologic patients with cancer. Although necessary and usually brief, IV insertion often is a source of patient anxiety and discomfort and can be extremely difficult to achieve, particularly in individuals re...
متن کاملAtmospheric Moist Convection
■ Abstract Various forms of atmospheric moist convection are reviewed through a consideration of three prevalent regimes: stratocumulus; trade-wind; and deep, precipitating, maritime convection. These regimes are chosen because they are structural components of the general circulation of the atmosphere and because they highlight distinguishing features of this polymorphous phenomenon. In partic...
متن کاملTransient moist baroclinic instability
The non-modal transient properties of the Eady baroclinic model with a simple heating parameterization are examined. The time-dependent non-modal behavior of the moist baroclinic model is investigated by calculating the energy amplification of optimal perturbations for relevant time-scales and by calculating the energy evolution of random initial conditions. Enhanced non-modal growth on time-sc...
متن کاملOn the Transient Behavior of Asai’s Model of Moist Convection
I The transient behavior of the simple model of moist convection devised by Asai is studied. It is shown that the initial behavior of convective disturbances depends strongly upon the geometry of the disturbance, its initial buoyancy, and dissipative mechanisms. Final approach to a steady convective cell is dependent upon the relative importance of entrainment of heat and momentum. These conclu...
متن کاملAre Dry Mergers Dry, Moist, or Wet?
We present a spectral analysis of a sample of red-sequence galaxies identified by van Dokkum (2005) as dry merger remnants and ongoing dry mergers. Kinematics, stellar population absorption features, and ionisation from emission lines, are derived. We find that approximately half of the sample showing strong tidal features have younger stellar populations than a control sample at a given veloci...
