Yet in the choice of these man-made formulas we can not be capricious with impunity any more than we can be capricious on the common-sense practical level. We must find a theory that will work; and that means something extremely difficult; for our theory must mediate between all previous truths and certain new experiences. It must derange common sense and previous belief as little as possible, ...

The efficacy of a new valved spacer device, the Babyhaler inhaler (Glaxo) for administering metered dose inhaler treatment via a facemask to infants was assessed. In a double blind, single dose study, salbutamol (800 micrograms) or placebo were given on separate days to 12 sedated, sleeping, wheezy infants during a symptom free interval. Lung function was measured before and after administratio...

Squeeze-film damping plays a significant role in the performance of micro-resonators because it determines their quality factors. Perforations in microstructures are often used to control the squeeze-film damping in micro-resonators. To model the perforation effects on the squeeze-film damping, many analytical models have been proposed, however, most of the previous models have been concerned w...

In this paper, we control the intention theory of Fishbein and Ajzen (1980) for the participation in an adult education course. Based on the Flemish Eurostat Adult Education Survey, we reveal that participants in adult education have a more positive attitude towards learning and that within the group of non-participants, those who formulate an intention to participate score higher on attitude s...

Archibald [1] analyzed the performance of a squeeze film between various geometrical configurations. Later on Wu [2, 3] investigated a squeeze film behavior for mainly, two types of geometries namely, annular and rectangular. Prakash and Viz [4] developed some aspects of the analysis incorporated in Wu [2, 3] and obtained the load carrying capacity ultimately leading to time height relation for...

Elliptic flow of hard partons (P > 5 GeV), squeeze-out of soft partons (P ≤ 5 GeV) and produced particles are predicted in the framework of the HIJING model. They are caused due to jet quenching and heterogeneity of the interaction region. Collective flows of produced particles and nuclear fragments in nucleus-nucleus interactions have been studied for the last 15 years (see the latest reviews ...

The compression molding process of carbon fiber sheet compounds (CF-SMC) is characterized by a squeeze flow the material. There are no standardized measurement methods to characterize behavior CF-SMC and conventional shear-flow dominated plastics processing not suitable describe elongational deformation mode during molding. objective this work was develop methodology determine rheological prope...

The purpose Electrorheological (ER) fluids are capable of providing continuously variable damping forces in response to an electrical stimulus. Many prototype ER dampers, described in the literature, have been based upon exploiting the variable shear properties of ER fluids. Recently, an alternative mode of operation, namely squeeze-flow, has been identified and investigated. Furthermore, most ...
