several investigations have been devoted towards understanding the coating process in fluidized beds. most of these studies focused on spraying liquid droplets over the bed. however, due to the complexity of these systems, more investigations are still required to quantify the effect of operating conditions on the coating criteria. the present work aims at fundamentally understanding and precis...

Sleep disturbances are an all-too-familiar symptom of jet lag and a prime source of complaints for transmeridian travelers and flight crews alike. They are the result of a temporary loss of synchrony between an abruptly shifted sleep period, timed in accordance with the new local day-night cycle, and a gradually reentraining circadian system. Scheduled exposure to bright light can, in principle...

a water jet machining is an industrial tool capable of cutting a wide variety of materials using avery high-pressure jet of water, or a mixture of water and an abrasive substance. this paperaddresses the concept of the intelligent knowledge base system (ikbs) for optimization of productdesign and manufacturing process for water jet machining in computer based concurrentengineering environment. ...

air-jet weaving is an advanced weaving method with high efficiency and productivity. it is one of the most widely used methods of weaving in the world. in air-jet filling insertion, the motion of weft yarn is caused by friction between weft yarn and air blown through nozzle. after declamping and subjecting the yarn to air stream, its motion is not active but very complicated and influenced by s...

Effect of altitude is discussed in the unsteady separation of multi stage rockets. Axisymmetric, unsteady and turbulent Navier stokes equations are solved numerically. The governing equations are split into a hyperbolic inviscid part and a parabolic diffusion part. The hyperbolic part is solved by an explicit second-order time and space of Godunov-type scheme. Moving mesh and moving boundary al...

We introduce a new class of event shapes to characterize the jet-like structure of an event. Like traditional event shapes, our observables are infrared/collinear safe and involve a sum over all hadrons in an event, but like a jet clustering algorithm, they incorporate a jet radius parameter and a transverse momentum cut. Three of the ubiquitous jet-based observables — jet multiplicity, summed ...

To the Editor-The case report by Baraka’ of jet ventilation through an airway exchange catheter (Cook Critical Care, Bloomington, IL) complicated by tension pneumothorax and cardiac asystole highlights some of the serious dangers of jet ventilation. I would like to focus on three aspects of the case report. The lessons from these can be added to the recommendations made by Baraka at the end of ...

Tissues throughout the body exhibit circadian rhythms, forming a multioscillatory system whose disruption results in jet lag and other health problems in travelers and rotational shift workers. The authors' simulations of the dynamics of a multistage circadian system (based on experimental results for nocturnal rodents) reveal the flexibility and stability inherent in a multistage system, as we...
