During long-term low-flow sevoflurane anesthesia, dew formation and the generation of compound A are increased in the anesthesia circuit because of elevated soda lime temperature. The object of this study was to develop a novel radiator for carbon dioxide absorbents used for long durations of low-flow sevoflurane anesthesia. Eleven female swine were divided into two groups comprising a "radiato...

We deal with the textural aspects, porometry and hydric behaviour of combinations of building materials and their durability under attack by salt crystallisation and freezing. We selected 4 types of lime mortar (pure lime mortar, lime mortar + air-entraining agent, lime mortar + pozzolana and lime mortar + air-entraining agent + pozzolana) which were used in combination with either brick or cal...

In this study, various mineral supplements, such as chloride salts (CaCl2, MgCl2, MnCl2, FeCl2 and KCl) supplying cations and calcium salts (CaCl2, CaCO3, CaSO4, Ca(OH)2 and CaHPO4) supplying anions, were tested if they could stimulate the sporulation of Clostridium sporogenes, a surrogate microorganism for C. botulinum. Of the cations tested, the addition of CaCl2 showed a slightly, but not si...

The Less Is More (LIME) programming model addresses known programmability, compositionality, predictability, and scalability problems related to parallel programming in embedded systems of new as well as legacy code in streaming applications. With LIME, the high-level functional aspects of algorithm design and implementation are decoupled from the low-level platform-specific mechanisms pertaini...

Recent casework in Belgium involving the search for human remains buried with lime, demonstrated the need for more detailed understanding of the effect of different types of lime on cadaver decomposition and its micro-environment. Six pigs (Sus scrofa) were used as body analogues in field experiments. They were buried without lime, with hydrated lime (Ca(OH)(2)) and with quicklime (CaO) in shal...

some of arid regions problems of iran are saline and sodic soils. in improvement and reclamation of iranian arid rangelands, some foreign species of atriplex had been imported and adapted for many years ago. the most adapted species was atriplex canescens. at the present research, some environmental factors, vegetative characteristics (na, ca, mg and k), soil properties (moisture, ec, ph, solut...

In the present study, we compare a new carbon dioxide (CO2) absorbent, Yabashi lime(®) with a conventional CO2 absorbent, Sodasorb(®) as a control CO2 absorbent for Compound A (CA) and Carbon monoxide (CO) productions. Four dogs were anesthetized with sevoflurane. Each dog was anesthetized with four preparations, Yabashi lime(®) with high or low-flow rate of oxygen and control CO2 absorbent wit...

caco3 nanoparticles have been synthesized via heat-treatment of a new precursor and solid state reaction. effect of calcinations temperature and quantity of surfactant on particle size has been investigated. the products were characterized by x-ray diffraction (xrd), scanning electron microscopy (sem), transmission electron microscopy (tem) and fourier transform infrared (ft–ir) spectroscopy.
