Experience with an ultrasonic foetal pulse detector.

Estimation of fetal weight by ultrasonic examination.

PURPOSE This study was to evaluate the accuracy and clinical application of a new technique in the fetal weight estimation by ultrasound. METHODS The fetal biparietal diameter (BPD), head circumference (HC) and femur length (FL) were measured by ultrasound examination within one week before delivery. Two different fetal abdominal sectors were measured for the assessment of abdominal circumfer...

Detection of Concrete Damage Using Ultrasonic Pulse Velocity Method

This paper investigates the efficiency of Ultrasonic Pulse Velocity (UPV) method in detecting cracks and flaws inside the concrete. A series of concrete beams and slab specimens were cast and damaged to simulate the different mechanisms possible in a reinforced concrete deck due to mechanical loading. Two types of simulated cracks, namely, cracks perpendicular and cracks parallel to axis of bea...

Soil Remediation Using Nano Zero-valent Iron Synthesized by an Ultrasonic Method

A new method for the synthesis of nano zero-valent iron (nZVI) was developed in the present study. Ultrasonic waves, as a novel method, were used to synthesize the nanoparticles. The morphology and surface compositions of the particles were characterized by using FESEM, XRD, BET, and particle size analyzer. The synthesized nanoparticles were then utilized as a Fenton-like catalyst to degrade of...
