Abstract The hydrodynamics of a Top Submerged Lance (TSL) slag bath are investigated here by means Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulation. object the study is pilot-scale furnace located at TU Bergakademie Freiberg, where air injected beneath with top lance. fluid dynamics system evaluated operating conditions, experimentally measured physical properties and real flow rates. numerical ap...

BACKGROUND Myoclonus may occur after hypoxia. In 1963, Lance and Adams described persistent myoclonus with other features after hypoxia. However, myoclonus occurring immediately after hypoxia may demonstrate different syndromic features from classic Lance-Adams syndrome (LAS). The aim of this review is to provide up-to-date information about the spectrum of myoclonus occurring after hypoxia wit...

Kruskal (1954, 1959), Dagnelie (1960) and Sokal and Sneath (1963), but it is doubtful whether even these extensive collections are complete. For general consideration, suppose that two groups (i) and (j) fuse to form a.group (k); then, extending (and slightly altering) the symbolism of Williams, Lambert and Lance (1966), we shall need to distinguish between three types of measure: (i)-measures,...

Quantification of plantar tissue behavior of the heel pad is essential in developing computational models for predictive analysis of preventive treatment options such as footwear for patients with diabetes. Simulation based studies in the past have generally adopted heel pad properties from the literature, in return using heel-specific geometry with material properties of a different heel. In e...

HYPOTHESIS Plantar heel pain (plantar fasciitis) is a common and disabling condition. A variety of treatment options are available to patients with plantar heel, however the evidence for these treatments is generally weak and the best way to manage plantar heel pain remains unclear. Trigger point dry needling is increasingly used as an adjunct therapy for musculoskeletal pain. In patients with ...

A 6 day old boy sustained scalds to his right foot from application of a "warm nappy" to increase blood flow to facilitate heel pricking for a routine Guthrie test. It is proposed that active warming of the heel in isolation is not necessary in heel blood sampling.

Heel ulcers are a costly and preventable complication of lower-extremity immobilization, but they still occur with some regularity. A technique using a short leg posterior splint that suspends the heel away from the splint is described. This modification completely removes pressure the heel to prevent decubitus ulcer formation. This technique is simple, inexpensive, and effective.
