With excess slurry pressures exerted on the tunnel face, particles tend to infiltrate into soil in front of tunnel. There will be pore pressure ahead case infiltration, leading an impairment supporting effect contributed by pressure. Corresponding three infiltration scenarios distinguished forms filter cake, different transfer models are employed describe distribution. Using kinematic approach ...

BACKGROUND The key to successful neonatal resuscitation is effective ventilation. Little evidence exists to guide clinicians in their choice of manual ventilation device or face mask. The expiratory tidal volume measured at the mask (V(TE(mask))) is a good estimate of the tidal volume delivered during simulated neonatal resuscitation. AIM To compare the efficacy of (a) the Laerdal infant resu...

background a large amount of money is allocated to hypertension in terms of remedial and care costs, but fighting against this disease begins with education. objectives this study has been conducted with the aim of comparing the effect of two methods: face-to-face education and distance education (via short message service [sms]) on amount of following remedial diet in patients suffering from h...

Hydrogeologists have long been interested in using geophysical measurements to answer questions about the Earth. Originally used to find ore bodies or oil and gas, geophysics’ sensitivity to water was originally considered a nuisance. While looking for metallic ore using electricalinduced polarization, for instance, early geophysicists found that groundwater controlled most of the measured sign...

Cutaneous horn is a horn-like keratotic lesion, which commonly occurs on the head and face, over a wide range of benign or malignant skin lesions. Callosity is a hyperkeratotic plaque produced by intermittent or continuous pressure on the skin. Lateral aspects of the ankles (Lateral malleoli) are frequently involved. We report a rare case of cutaneous horn developed on ankle callosity.

Motion by releasing the oxygen from the cylinder. There was also a bag (as in Haldane's oxygen apparatus) Which served to keep the oxygen pressure from rising too high in the delivery tube. Thus the oxygen on its Way to the face kept the pump working, and this produced alternately a negative and positive pressure in the delivery tube provided the face-piece was closely applied to the face. This...

In familial dysautonomia (FD), i.e., Riley-Day syndrome, parasympathetic dysfunction has not been sufficiently evaluated. The cold face test is a noninvasive method of activating trigeminal brain stem cardiovagal and sympathetic pathways and can be performed in patients with limited cooperation. We performed cold face tests in 11 FD patients and 15 controls. For 60 s, cold compresses (0-1 degre...

Motivated by recent efforts to mitigate blast loading using energy-absorbing materials, this paper investigates the uniaxial crushing of cellular media in sandwich construction under impulsive pressure loading. The cellular core is modeled using a rigid, perfectly-plastic, locking idealization, as in previous studies, and the front and back faces are modeled as rigid, with pressure loading appl...

The development of the positive airway pressure custom mask (TAP-PAP CM) has changed the treatment of obstructive sleep apnea. The TAP-PAP CM is used in continuous positive airway pressure therapy (CPAP) and is fabricated from the impression of the face. This mask is then connected to a post screwed into the mechanism of the TAP3 (Thornton Anterior Positioner) oral appliance. This strapless CPA...
