OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to determine if a small pneumothorax would influence the pleurodesis resulting from talc instillation. METHODS Sixty rabbits received an intrapleural injection of 400 mg/kg talc slurry. One half also received 10 mL of air intrapleurally after the talc. Ten rabbits in each group were killed 2, 14, and 28 days after instillation. RESULTS Two days after ...

This paper puts forward one kind of air-fuel ration control method which integrates improved Elman neural network with normal PI control. It constructs a model of the single LPG electro-plating engine and simulation platform for air-fuel ration controlling with GTPower software which seamless connect to Matlab/Simulink based on JL1P39FMB single cylinder engine and develop the electronic fuel-in...

In this paper we investigate (in)security aspects of Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B) protocol. ADS-B is intended to be widely deployed in Air Traffic Management (ATM) Surveillance systems by 2020. One of the goals of ADS-B is to increase safety of air traffic. While the security of ADS-B was previously questioned, in this paper we demonstrate that attacks are both easy and pr...

In recent years, as an important part of unconventional resources, the effective development shale oil has been a key area research in petroleum engineering. Given widespread availability and low cost air, evaluation air injection reservoirs is topic worth exploring. This paper analyzes production performance different methods reservoir, including flooding huff puff (HnP), based on full-diamete...

Prior microinjection of the GABA(A)-receptor agonist muscimol into the dorsomedial hypothalamus (DMH) in conscious rats attenuates the increases in heart rate, blood pressure, and circulating adrenocorticotrophic hormone seen in air stress. Here, we examined the effect of similar treatment on air stress- or hemorrhage-induced Fos expression in the paraventricular nucleus (PVN). Muscimol (80 pmo...

Coronary air embolism remains a serious complication of cardiac catheterization despite careful prevention. The complications of coronary air embolism range from clinically insignificant events to acute coronary syndrome, cardiogenic shock, and death. We report here a case of multiple air emboli in both left coronary arteries, complicated by cardiogenic shock and ventricular fibrillation in a 4...
