Results of broadband dielectric spectroscopy (BDS) in Saccharomyces cerevisiae (baker's yeast), in situ as the function of pressure are presented. They show a clear evidence of a threshold to the new pattern of the pressure evolution of the static dielectric permittivity and DC electric conductivity already for Pt  ≈ 200MPa at T = 5 oC and Pt  ≈ 300MPa at T = 25 oC. BDS monitoring versus pressu...

ll is now accepted that inhaled bronchodilator therapy is, whenever possible, to be preferred to oral treatment in the routine management of reversible airflow obstruction [1). However, during the last two decades we have repeatedly been reminded that many patients have great difficulty in using the conventional pressurized metered dose inhaler (MDI) [2-6], today's most frequently prescribed in...

Understanding the impact of welding parameters and welder skill on weld quality is crucial. However, it lack comprehensive studies that consider welder-introduced defects when analyzing mechanical metallurgical behaviors low carbon steel welds using SMAW process. The research aims to study assess seams ABS Grade A marine plate 12.7mm thick manual process as per AWS D1.1 structural code requirem...

The absolute systemic availability and pulmonary deposition of budesonide inhaled from a pressurized metered-dose inhaler (pMDI) attached to a Nebuhaler spacer was determined in 15 healthy subjects. The study was of an open cross-over design. Each subject randomly received three single doses of budesonide on separate days: 0.5 mg given intravenously and 1.0 mg (0.2 mg x 5) by inhalation from a ...

To investigate alternative mechanisms generating artificial circulation during cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), an electrical model of the circulation was developed. Heart and blood vessels were modeled as resistive-capacitive networks; pressures in the chest, abdomen, and vascular compartments as voltages; blood flow as electric current; blood inertia as inductance; and the cardiac and ven...

OBJECTIVE Assess paranasal sinus distribution of topical solutions following endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS) using various delivery devices. STUDY DESIGN Experimental prospective study. SUBJECTS AND METHODS Ten cadaver sinus systems were irrigated with Gastroview before surgery, after ESS, and after medial maxillectomy. Delivery was via pressurized spray (NasaMist), neti pot (NasaFlo), and s...

This paper presents a computational study of the fluid-structure interaction (FSI) mechanism in pressurized commodity tank cars in railroad application. Within the Lagrangian framework of Abaqus/Explicit, finite element analysis (FEA) is conducted to predict the structural response of tank cars under dynamic impact loading. A three-phase approach is adopted that explicitly models pressurized ga...

Due to the increasing use of renewable energy sources, and counter effects fossil fuels, dispatchable hydro power can be used for balancing load generation from intermittent sources (solar wind). During higher percentage change in acceptance or rejection grid, operations surge tanks are crucial terms water mass oscillation hammer pressure, avoid wear tear actuators other equipment, such as turb...
