The evaporation heat transfer and pressure drop characteristics of HFC-161 in a horizontal smooth tube with an inside diameter of 9 mm was experimentally investigated. The local heat transfer coefficient and total pressure drop were measured at the heat flux ranging from 15 – 25 kW/m, the mass flux ranging from 100 – 200 kg/(m·s), and the evaporation temperature of 5, 10 °C. The experimental re...

In our paper [1] which presented the profile of dr Ludwika Karpińska-Woyczyńska we reported 25 th August 1872 or 1875 as her date of birth and Warsaw as the city she was born in. That information was corroborated by the data collected by the University of Zurich [2] and Karpińska's curriculum vitae which she wrote herself and included as part of her doctoral thesis [3]. We deemed the sources th...

Quantitative chronologies for the impressive glacial successions that occur throughout the Himalaya have, until recently, been almost totally lacking. Within the last decade two new techniques have promised to remedy this situation. These techniques, optically stimulated luminescence and cosmogenic nuclide surface exposure dating, enable the age of many glacial features to be determined and hav...

Primary cancer treatment, involving both local and often systemic adjuvant therapy, is often successful, especially if the cancer is detected at an early stage of progression. However, for some patients, the cancer may recur either locally or as distant metastases, in some cases many years after apparently successful primary treatment. Significant tumor dormancy has been documented in several c...

BACKGROUND/AIM Epidemiological studies of blindness in a working age population require a precise definition of the true connection of uveitis and visual damage. Since most patients with more severe types of uveitis are hospitalized in tertiary referral uveitis service, our aim was to determine whether age, sex and age of onset of uveitis, as well as duration of visual loss and its causes influ...

Water mobility and distribution were measured in M. longissimus dorsi from 41 pigs slaughtered at an age of 90, 140, 161 or 182 days using low-field proton NMR relaxometry, and in order to investigate the impact on sensory attributes, a sensory evaluation of the pork was performed in parallel. The sensory evaluation demonstrated a significant effect of slaughter age on juiciness of the meat, an...
