The pressure-flow characteristics of 100 left circumflex stenoses in 10 chronically instrumented unsedated dogs were studied under resting conditions and during pharmacological coronary vasodilation. At rest, the pressure loss (deltaP) due to a stenosis and arterial flow velocity (V) were related by the equation, deltaP = FV + SV2, where F is the coefficient of pressure loss due to viscous fric...

IN T R O D U C T IO N More than 76,000 miles of roads are under county control in Indiana—a responsibility for county road authorities which almost defies measurement. The magnitude of the task is indicated, however, by two factors: annual expenditures, which in 1958 totaled over $40 million, and employment, which totaled several thousand persons. This responsibility places great problems on th...

The calculation of loss is vital for design flood estimation models and in order to estimate continuing loss (CL), proportional loss (PL) and volumetric runoff coefficient, the surface runoff has to be separated from the total given in a stream flow hydrograph. To obtain the volume of surface runoff from the streamflow hydrograph, baseflow separation becomes necessary and in this paper a few ba...

OBJECTIVES Fibrinogen concentrate is increasingly used in cardiac surgery when bleeding is anticipated or ongoing. Since randomized clinical studies to support this are lacking, it is relevant to know whether lower fibrinogen levels are associated with excessive bleeding. We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis to define the association between fibrinogen levels and blood loss after ...

A compressor tip clearance flow control scheme is explored using fluidic actuators, the so-called " synthetic jets " , on the casing wall acting over the clearance region. The analysis of flow visualization images show the largest increase in mixing level when forced at the optimal frequency. A reduction in the tip clearance-related blockage is demonstrated using an array of synthetic jet actua...
