The equilibrium solubility data of CO2 in the various aqueous blends of triisopropanolamine (TIPA) + monoethanolamine (MEA) with the total alkanolamine concentration of 2 mole / dm3 were measured at the temperatures of 30, 40, 50, 60 and 70 oC and CO2 partial pressures below 100 kPa. The experiments were done in an atmospheric gas absorption syste...

The experience of escaping the real world and losing oneself in a fictional one brings pleasure to many. We draw on overarching theory narrative transportation (see Gerrig, 1993) advance knowledge screen tourism. aim is develop empirically test conceptual model TV series consumption, escapism, immersion, travel intentions with partial least squares structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM).

Background The aim of this paper is to explore how contextualization of a healthcare simulation scenarios impacts immersion, by using a novel objective instrument, the Immersion Score Rating Instrument. This instrument consists of 10 triggers that indicate reduced or enhanced immersion among participants in a simulation scenario. Triggers refer to events such as jumps in time or space (sign of ...

Previous results indicate that arterial pulse pressure modulates release of arginine vasopressin (AVP) in humans. The hypothesis was therefore tested that an increase in arterial pulse pressure is the stimulus for suppression of AVP release during central blood volume expansion by water immersion. A two-step immersion model (n = 8) to the xiphoid process and neck, respectively, was used to atta...

background and aims. the most common method for alginate impression disinfection is spraying it by disinfecting agents, but some studies have shown that these impressions can be immersed, too. the aim of this study was to evaluate the dimensional stability of alginate impressions following disinfecting by spray and immersion methods. materials and methods. four common disinfecting agents (sodiu...

methods thirty healthy female volunteers aged between 18 and 30 years were treated by a 15-minute cryotherapy (6 ± 1°c). the subject's skin temperature over antromedial aspect of dominant ankle was measured by the mayomed device before, immediate and 15 minutes after water immersion. ankle jps was tested trough the pedal goniometer at 3 stages similar to the skin temperature. anova (α = 0.05) w...
