Thermo-Compression (The Salt and Fresh Water from the Sea Water)

Clay settling in fresh and salt water

To gain insight into the process of sedimentation occurring when clay-laden estuaries and deltas entermarinewater, we perform laboratory experiments tomeasure the settling rate of initially unflocculated kaolin clay in fresh and salt water. In fresh water, sedimentation is a slow process with the clay particle concentration gradually decreasing nearly uniformly over hours, consistent with the t...

Fresh water and sea water drowning; a study of the terminal cardiac and biochemical events.

The Pattern of Caspian Sea Water Penetration Into Anzali Wetland: Introduction of a Salt Wedge

Measuring salinity of water at different depths along six transacts at the mouth of the wetland and along five tributaries connecting the wetland to the sea the extent of Caspian Sea penetration into Anzali Wetland was determined. The results demonstrated a depth-dependent salinity gradient extending up to 10 kilometres into the wetland. A pattern of saltwater and freshwater interface is presen...

Mechanism of circulatory failure in fresh and sea water drowning.

O LDER concepts as to the cause of death from drowning postulated that spasm of the glottis prevents entry of water into the lungs, that impairment or cessation of the heart beat is due to asphyxia and that use of artificial respiration offers the greatest chance for revival. Recent experimental studies have revealed that this mechanism is dominant in a minority of cases only: 20 per cent in ou...

Is There a Clinical Difference between Salt Water and Fresh Water Drowning?

Introduction: Salt water near-drowning events are not uncommon in coastal regions. The difference in tonicity between salt and fresh water in near-drowning events leads many to believe there should be differences in the approach to managing the patient. We present a case of near-drowning in salt water and a thorough review of the literature in managing these patients. Case Presentation: A sixte...
