This Technical Note outlines an adjoint complement to a critical building block of pressure-based Finite-Volume (FV) flow solvers that employ collocated variable arrangement simulate virtually incompressible fluids. The focal point is strengthen the pressure-velocity coupling by using Momentum-Weighted Interpolation (MWI) strategy. To this end, analogies established primal MWI techniques are de...

The effects of single or repeated treatments with manual acupuncture (ACU), electro-acupuncture (ELACU) or physical exercise on neuropeptide Y (NPY), neurokinin A (NKA), substance P (SP), galanin (GAL) and vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP)-like immunoreactivity (-LI) in different regions of the rat brain were studied. Initially the effect of microwave irradiation (MWI) was compared to decapit...

During the modernization of the municipal waste incinerator (MWI, maximum capacity of 180,000 tons per year) of Metropolitan Grenoble (405,000 inhabitants), in France, a risk assessment was conducted, based on four tracer pollutants: two volatile organic compounds (benzene and 1, 1, 1 trichloroethane) and two heavy metals (nickel and cadmium, measured in particles). A Gaussian plume dispersion ...

Abstract Funding Acknowledgements Type of funding sources: Public hospital(s). Main source(s): public hospital sources. Background The Fontan procedure is an operation that has allowed many paediatric patients suffering from severe congenital heart disease to reach adulthood. More and more frequently we come interface with the consequences Fontan's circulation, such as cardiac function exercise...

this paper describes a study of operational parameters by using the multivariate data analysis and neural networks for a municipal waste incinerator located in majorca (spain). the basis of the study also includes the chemometric techniques: linear multivariate regression to develop a model with certain predictive capabilities; linear principal component analysis, which allow the number of vari...

Growth hormone (GH) cells in the rat anterior pituitary have been morphologically classified into three subtypes: type I (mature) containing large secretory granules about 350 nm in diameter, type II (intermediate) containing a mixture of large and small granules, and type III (immature) containing small granules about 150 nm in diameter. However, the functional implications of morphological he...

The dielectric properties of bones are found to be influenced by the demineralisation bones. Therefore, microwave imaging (MWI) can used monitor in vivo human and hence aid monitoring osteoporosis. This paper presents feasibility analysis MWI device for Firstly, tissues present heel analysed. Secondly, a transmission line (TL) formalism approach is adopted examine feasible frequency band matchi...

The layer-by-layer processing of Au/Au(x)Pd(1-x) core/alloy nanoparticles via microwave irradiation (MWI) based hydrothermal heating is described. Alloy shell growth was monitored by the attenuation of surface plasmon resonance (SPR) as a function of shell thickness and composition. Discrete dipole approximation (DDA) correlated the SPR to particle morphology.

The Molecular Weevil Identification project (MWI) studies the systematics of Western Palearctic weevils (superfamily Curculionoidea) in an integrative taxonomic approach DNA barcoding, morphology and ecology. This barcode release provides almost 3600 curated CO1 sequences linked to morphological vouchers about 1300 weevil species. dataset is presented statistical distance tables as a Neighbour-...

Abstract This study aimed to find the characteristics of polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins and dibenzofurans (PCDD/Fs) in fine particulate matter from different stationary emission sources (coal-fired boiler, CFB; municipal waste incinerator, MWI; electric arc furnace, EAF) Taiwan relationship between PM 2.5 -bound PCDD/Fs with Taiwanese mortality risk. was quantified using gravimetry correspon...
