This paper presents a systematic analysis of the hydraulic flushing capacity stored volume water to remove sediments. is based on 90 laboratory experiments in which sediment evacuated was measured for varying initial volumes water, three bed slopes, and sizes. The consisted rapid emptying reservoir by means suddenly opening tilting gate downstream. produced an accelerated flow eroded mobile res...

Approximately 36% of East Asians (Japanese, Chinese, and Koreans) show a characteristic physiological response to drinking alcohol that includes facial flushing (see Figure 1), nausea, and tachycardia [1] . This so-called alcohol flushing response (also known as “Asian flush” or “Asian glow”) is predominantly due to an inherited deficiency in the enzyme aldehyde dehydrogenase 2 (ALDH2) [2]. Alt...

OBJECTIVES This study was designed to determine the role of flushing dental water lines for the removal of heterotrophic plate count bacteria, Legionella spp., and free-living protozoa. METHODS Forty dental offices were surveyed in the study. An initial sample and a sample taken after three minutes of flushing were obtained from the air/water syringe at each location. All samples were quantit...

In Electrical Discharge Machining, oxides (or debris) are created and accumulated in the sparking gap between an electrode and a work piece. If the debris density becomes too great in certain points in the gap, there is a reduction in the resistance, which encourages the formation of abnormal discharges, results in significant electrode damage and slows down the material removal rate. To enhanc...

The cause of flushing attacks in patients with carcinoid syndrome is unknown. In a subgroup of patients (many ofwhom have metastatic gastric carcinoid tumours) histamine excretion is frequently and consistently raised.45 Two reports have shown significant reductions in both frequency and duration offlushing attacks during combined treatment with H, and H2 receptor antagonists in two patients wi...

Postural tachycardia syndrome (POTS) is a disabling condition that commonly affects otherwise normal young females. Because these patients can present with a flushing disorder, we hypothesized that mast cell activation (MCA) can contribute to its pathogenesis. Here we describe POTS patients with MCA (MCA+POTS), diagnosed by episodes of flushing and abnormal increases in urine methylhistamine, a...

The antidyslipidemic drug nicotinic acid (niacin) has been used for decades. One of the major problems of the therapeutical use of nicotinic acid is a strong cutaneous vasodilation called flushing, which develops in almost every patient taking nicotinic acid. Nicotinic acid-induced flushing has been shown to be mediated by the nicotinic acid receptor GPR109A and to involve the formation of vaso...
