purpose rupture of pectoralis major (pm) occurs most commonly as a result of an indirect mechanism associated with extensive tension on a maximally contracted muscle. patients with pm tendon ruptures, classically present a history of sudden severe pain in arm and shoulder at the time of injury. treatment options vary from conservative to operative. in cases with total or near-total injuries, su...

Abstract The purpose of the paper is to illustrate basis design a pilot-scale reactor built convert putrescent and high-water content biowaste into stabilized product by using Hydrothermal Carbonization process (HTC). hydrothermal carbonization selected has been previously studied in bench-scale optimize parameters such as temperature, reaction time, water-to-dry matter ratio then scaled up at ...

Laboratory scale biological trickling filters and three-phase airlift bioreactors have been studied for the elimination of methylene chloride (or dichloromethane) vapors from waste air, and the results used herein for the design of small industrial-scale reactors. The conditions chosen for scale-up were an air flow rate of 100 m3 h-1, a methylene chloride inlet concentration of 2 g m-3, and a t...

Training the bench press exercise on a traditional flat bench does not induce a level of instability as seen in sport movements and activities of daily living. Twenty participants were recruited to test two forms of instability: using one dumbbell rather than two and lifting on the COR bench compared to a flat bench. Electromyography (EMG) amplitudes of the pectoralis major, middle trapezius, e...

Abstract This study aims to validate the lattice Boltzmann method and assess its ability accurately describe behavior of gaseous flows in packed beds. To that end, simulations a model bed reactor, corresponding an experimental bench, are conducted, results directly compared with data obtained by particle image velocimetry measurements. It is found solver exhibits very good agreement Then, numer...
