During myocardial ischaemia, functional compensation occurs by non-ischaemic regions of the left ventricle (LV). Anaesthetics may affect compensation by altering contractility, metabolism and perfusion. This was studied in dogs anaesthetized with fentanyl (150 micrograms kg-1 loading dose and 100 micrograms kg-1 h-1) or 0.75% and 1.5% halothane and subjected to left anterior descending artery (...

The effect of dry salting during the cold-smoking process was evaluated on Atlantic salmon initially stored in refrigerated seawater (RSW) or ice. A 2D mathematical model developed from first principles, simulating heat and mass transfer at increasing duration. This validated using experimental values compared with empirical Zugarramurdi Lupín. predicted were used for water activity prediction ...

Resistance spot welding (RSW) is a widespread manufacturing process in the automotive industry. There are different approaches for assessing quality level of RSW joints. Multi-input-single-output methods, which take as inputs either intrinsic parameters or ultrasonic nondestructive testing variables, commonly used. This work demonstrates that combined use both types can significantly improve al...

Building on the theory of parity sheaves due to Juteau–Mautner– Williamson, we develop a formalism of “mixed modular perverse sheaves” for varieties equipped with a stratification by affine spaces. We then give two applications: (1) a “Koszul-type” derived equivalence relating a given flag variety to the Langlands dual flag variety, and (2) a formality theorem for the modular derived category o...

The application of Remote Laser Welding (RLW) has become an attractive assembly technology in various branches of industry, as it offers higher efficiency at lower costs compared to traditional Resistance Spot Welding (RSW) when high volumes of sheet metal assemblies are to be produced. However, the introduction of RLW technology raises multiple new issues in designing the configuration, the la...

One of the challenges faced by waste management authorities is determining the amount of waste generated by households in order to establish waste management systems, as well as trying to charge rates compatible with the principle applied worldwide, and design a fair payment system for households according to the amount of residential solid waste (RSW) they generate. The goal of this research w...

Resistance spot welding (RSW) is the most popular joining technique used by automotive industries for the manufacture of automobile body structure. In automobile industries, the weight saving effect of replacing steel parts is an important factor in reducing fuel consumption and increasing speed and natural resources savings. In this study, A5052 aluminium alloy sheet having 1 mm thickness were...

Abstract Background The rugose spiraling whitefly (RSW), Aleurodicus rugioperculatus Martin (Hemiptera: Aleyrodidae), an exotic polyphagous pest and its infestation was documented on coconut ( Cocos nucifera L.) for the first time in India during 2016. RSW has attained a serious many economically important crop plants due to damage severity rapid spread across country short span of time. Hence,...

Although the finite element (FE) numerical calculation model has been extensively employed in analyzing metal characteristics, very few works use it to analyze features of main process signals during resistance spot welding (RSW) process. Hence, its generality was seriously restricted. In this work, a 2D FE model, which coupled thermal, electrical and mechanical fields, established with reasona...
