The electromagnetic sampling calorimeters of the SPD experiment (NICA collider) are being investigated by Monte Carlo method. simulation is used to study in detail influence energy leakages from module on its resolution. values stochastic and constant terms obtained for calorimeter prototypes.

Herbs are known to play a vital role in the management of various liver diseases. Thymoquinone (TQ) is the bioactive constituent of Nigella sativa seed. The present work was planned to evaluate the potential hepatoprotective effects of TQ against the cytotoxic effects and the oxidative stress induced by carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) in isolated primary rat hepatocytes. Cytotoxicity was determined...

Oesophagogastric anastomosis after oesophagus resection is commonly performed on the neck. Even though a few different techniques of oesophagogastric anastomosis have been previously detailed, both manual and mechanical procedures have been burdened with leakages and strictures. Our simple technique of oesophagogastric anastomosis is a modification of mechanical anastomosis with the use of a ci...

Purpose – The purpose of this paper was to present the results of the three types of FG transistors that were investigated. The reliability issues of oxide thickness due to programming, fabrication defects and process variation may cause leakage currents and thus charge retention failure in the floating gate (FG). Approach – The tunnelling and electron injection methods were applied to program ...

In order to recognize the problems associated with the transport mechanism of containment during the ventilation process of a laboratory fume hood, a transparent, full scale chemical fume hood is constructed for experimental studies. Distributions of mean velocity and velocity fluctuation in the sash plane are measured using a thermal anemometer. Flow patterns and tracer-gas concentration leaka...

INTRODUCTION The utility of prophylactic drainage in colorectal surgery is controversial. The aim of the present article is to study the role of drainage tubes on the management of minor anastomotic dehiscences. PATIENTS AND METHODS We retrospectively review clinical reports of 18 consecutive patients with anastomotic dehiscence after open elective colorectal surgery. The mean age was 63 year...

of the Dissertation Fault Detection and Diagnosis for A Multi-Actuator Pneumatic System by Kunbo Zhang Doctor of Philosophy in Mechanical Engineering Stony Brook University 2011 In pneumatic actuating systems, various kinds of faults are key factors in degrading system performance and increasing air consumption. It is therefore valuable to monitor pneumatic systems and implement predictive main...

On-Board Diagnostics (OBD) regulations require that the fuel system in personal vehicles must be supervised for leakages. Legislative requirement on the smallest leakage size that has to be detected is decreasing and at the same time the requirement on number of leakage checks are increasing. A consequence is that detection must be performed under more and more diverse operating conditions. Thi...
