The nasal cavity volume and the temperature of the nasal mucosa are considered to be the most important predictors of nasal conditioning. The aim of this study was to assess the relationship between the intranasal degree of water vapour saturation of inhaled air and nasal patency. Intranasal humidity values at different locations within the nasal cavity of 15 healthy subjects were compared to n...

A modiied water vapor saturation pressure table, containing both water vapor saturation pressure over ice and over water have been introduced in HIRLAM and compared to the reference table, where one single mixed table is used. Diierent aspects of how to use this new vapor saturation pressure table are treated in this report and two tests with it are presented. The best result is obtained when t...

Gas hydrate model and free gas model are established, and two-phase theory (TPT) for numerical simulation of elastic wave velocity is adopted to investigate the unconsolidated deep-water sedimentary strata in Shenhu area, South China Sea. The relationships between compression wave (P wave) velocity and gas hydrate saturation, free gas saturation, and sediment porosity at site SH2 are studied, r...

Abstract The paper investigates applicability of two mathematical models developed by the authors for calculating process long-term impregnation coal samples. A distinctive feature studied samples is low porosity. Considered are based on single- and three-channel representation internal structure a porous medium. These were previously used to study highly materials. At same time, model in most ...

Cryptosporidium parvum is a waterborne pathogen that poses potential risk to drinking water consumers. The detection of Cryptosporidium oocysts, its transmissive stage, is used in the latest U.S. Environmental Protection Agency method 1622, which utilizes organic fluorophores such as fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC) to label the oocysts by conjugation with anti-Cryptosporidium sp. monoclonal a...

Controlled boiling will occur on Enceladus whenever a long, narrow conduit connects liquid water to the vacuum of space. In a companion paper we focus on the upward flow of the vapor and show how it controls the evaporation rate through backpressure, which arises from friction on the walls. In this paper we focus on the liquid and show how it flows through the conduit up to its level of neutral...

Composites were manufactured from glass fiber, bagasse fly ash, and epoxy matrix examined their mechanical physical properties. The percentages of fine designed at 10%, 15%, 20%, 25%, 30% with fiber conducted density, flexural strength, hardness, absorption water, swelling properties thickness. prepared by manual layering. ASTM standards followed in preparing the samples. According to results, ...
