This paper investigated the flow-induced vibration of tube bundles considering effect periodic fluid force in a rotated triangular array. We first performed an experiment to obtain responses array with pitch-to-diameter ratio P/D = 1.48. To further investigate characteristics bundles, mathematical model and clearance restriction was developed. Based on Computational Fluid Dynamics calculation, ...

This study demonstrates that, in healthy adults, mild systemic dehydration induced by exercise the heat or a prolonged period of fluid restriction leads to negative alterations pulmonary function, primarily localized small airways. Oral rehydration, but not nebulized isotonic saline, is able restore function dehydrated individuals. Our findings highlight importance maintaining an adequate balan...

A rapid method of ultracentrifugation pelleting of avian adenovirus (AAV) from small volume of chloroform treated infected cell culture fluid or allantoic fluid was adapted for isolation of adenoviral DNA. The viral DNA extracted from semipurified viruses was found to be intact on agarose gel and pure enough (A260/280 = 1.85-1.92) for restriction enzyme analysis. Restriction endonuclease analys...

Rapid correction of hyponatremia is frequently associated with increased morbidity and mortality. Therefore, it is important to estimate the proper volume and type of infusate required to increase the serum sodium concentration predictably. The major common management errors during the treatment of hyponatremia are inadequate investigation, treatment with fluid restriction for diuretic-induced ...

Background. The Syndrome of Inappropriate Antidiuretic Hormone (SIADH) is considered to be the most common cause of euvolemic hyponatremia. The most common malignancy associated with SIADH is small cell lung cancer. We present a rare case of a patient with SIADH secondary to well differentiated squamous cell carcinoma of the naso-oropharynx. Case. A 46-year-old Caucasian woman presented to emer...

The immersed boundary method is a computational framework for problems involving the interaction of a fluid and immersed elastic structures. Immersed boundary computations typically evaluate the elastic forces explicitly in the configuration of the immersed elastic structure. In many applications this results in a severe restriction on the time step. We present a semi-implicit and a fully impli...

This study experimentally and numerically investigates the effects of nozzle/needle distance (clearance) supply pressure on single phase compressible gas flow in a micro orifice with needle restriction, which play important roles many engineering applications such as cryogenic cooling MEMS (microelectromechanical systems) device cooling. Nitrogen was used working fluid at pressures ranging from...

BACKGROUND/AIMS The development of effective, accurate, and rapid diagnostic methods for Mycobacterium infection and mycobacterial species identification is required. Polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) is an easy, rapid and inexpensive technique for identifying Mycobacterium spp. METHODS We performed PCR-RFLP to detect and identify Mycobacterium spp....
