Numerical simulations of the interaction between a circular cylinder and its wake during both forced and free, vortex-induced, oscillation have been performed using a spectral element method in which the computational mesh was fixed to the cylinder and the Navier-Stokes equations solved in this accelerating reference frame. Thus far, work has focussed on cross flow, rather than in-line oscillat...

[Purpose] The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of thoracic spinal manipulation therapy on respiratory function including forced vital capacity and forced expiratory volume in one second in young healthy individuals. [Subjects and Methods] Thirty young healthy subjects recruited from a local university participated in this study. Subjects were randomly allocated into an exper...

Background and Objective: Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) is the end choice treatment for patients with major depressive disorder (MDD). Regarding researches that show NMDA receptor inactivation could yield the same results as anti-depressant drugs, however, the present study examined co-administration of ECT and ketamine (as NMDA antagonist) on depressed rat behaviors.   Materials and Methods...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate spontaneous release of superoxide anion by peripheral blood granulocytes of atopic patients with uncontrolled asthma undergoing glucocorticoid therapy and of healthy subjects. METHODS We studied 32 patients, aged 6 to 18 (mean 12.04), and 29 healthy subjects as a comparative group. Patients were grouped according to the forced expiratory vital capacity in the first secon...

the patient with head trauma is a challenge for the emergency physician and for the neurosurgeon. currently traumatic brain injury constitutes a public health problem. knowledge of the various supportive therapeutic strategies in the pre-hospital and pre-operative stages is essential for optimal care. the immediate rapid infusion of large volumes of crystalloids to restore blood volume and bloo...

To compare the effectiveness of home versus hospital intravenous (IV) antibiotic therapy for acute pulmonary exacerbations in children with cystic fibrosis (CF). A retrospective chart review was performed of 143 encounters for pulmonary exacerbations in 50 patients with CF. All encounters were categorized into two groups based on location of completion of antibiotic therapy: hospital group comp...

In this study an experimental work was performed to examine the effect of porous media on the heat transfer from a cylindrical heater in the case of steady-state forced convection. Porous media consisted of Spherical glasses of diameter 0.6 cm and air was used as the cooling fluid. The bulk temperature was approximated by the inlet temperature and Properties of the air were found at the film te...

An exhaustive experimental investigation has been carried out for accurate determination of interstitial heat transfer coefficients of ceramic foams in forced convective flows. The single-blow method was used, in which, the fluid temperature varies with time and convective heat transfer becomes time-dependent. The method results in a transient and conjugate heat transfer phenomena between the f...

The pandemic forced us to think about new ways of auditory rehabilitation after CI. aim the study was evaluate online therapy (OT) for training in CI children.

Bu çalışmada piezoelektrik plak, viskoz akışkan ve rijit duvardan oluşan bir sisteme, harmonik mekanik kuvvet uygulandığında ortaya çıkan titreşime özelliklerinin etkisi incelenmiştir. Plağın hareketi, doğrusallaştırılmış elektro-elastisite teorisinin kesin denklemleri ile ifade edilmiştir. Akışkan akımı ise Navier-Stokes yazılmıştır. Plakta düzlem şekil değiştirme durumunun olduğu, akışkanın d...
