An increase in the intensity of diffusion-controlled processes during granulation is provided by apparatuses with non-homogeneous fluidization, hydrodynamics which significantly depends on structural features granulator chamber and gas distributing device (GDD). The main problem formation stagnant zones working surface GDD, which, when supplying a coolant temperature that exceeds melting point ...

INTRODUCTION Global developmental delay (GDD) and intellectual disability (ID) are common reasons for consultation in paediatric neurology. Results from aetiological evaluations of children with GDD/ID vary greatly, and consequently, there is no universal consensus regarding which studies should be performed. MATERIAL AND METHOD We review our experience with determining aetiological diagnoses...

PURPOSE To evaluate the outcome of glaucoma drainage device (GDD) implantation with and without intravitreal bevacizumab (IVB) injection in treating neovascular glaucoma (NVG) at Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital Jakarta, Indonesia. PATIENTS AND METHODS This retrospective study involved 39 eyes with NVG which underwent GDD implantation between 2012 and 2014. Thirty eyes underwent GDD implantation a...

In this paper, we explore the use of magnetic resonant metamaterials, so called metamagnetics, as dispersive elements for optical pulse shaping. We measure both positive and negative group delay dispersion (GDD) values in a metamagnetic material using the multiphoton interference phase scan (MIIPS) technique and show pulse temporal profiles numerically. The results are compared with finite elem...

The data used in the present study is a 21-year GIMMS-NDVI dataset, surface data on phenology of birch, and temperature data from meteorological stations, all for the period 1982 to 2002. For each pixel a 21-year mean and a mean of peak NDVI value was computed. Threshold values related to this mean, and mean of peak NDVI values, which show the best correlations with the phenological field data ...

We describe an optical coating design suitable for broad bandwidth high reflection (BBHR) at 45 ̋ angle of incidence (AOI), P polarization (Ppol) of femtosecond (fs) laser pulses whose wavelengths range from 800 to 1000 nm. Our design process is guided by quarter-wave HR coating properties. The design must afford low group delay dispersion (GDD) for reflected light over the broad, 200 nm bandwid...

OBJECTIVE To compare and analyze the clinical characteristics of children with delayed language acquisition due to two different diagnoses, which were specific language impairment (SLI, a primarily delayed language development) and global developmental delay (GDD, a language delay related to cognitive impairment). METHODS Among 1,598 children who had visited the developmental delay clinic fro...

OBJECTIVE To examine the decisions of pediatric primary care physicians about their diagnostic evaluation for a child with suspected global developmental delay (GDD). STUDY DESIGN A survey was mailed to a sample of pediatricians (n = 600) and family physicians (n = 600) randomly selected from the American Medical Association Physician Masterfile. The survey contained a clinical vignette descr...

The distribution of hookworm in schistosomiasis-endemic areas in Brazil was mapped based on climate suitability. Known biological requirements of hookworm were fitted to data in a monthly long-term normal climate grid (18 x 18 km) using geographical information systems. Hookworm risk models were produced using the growing degree day (GDD) water budget (WB) concept. A moisture-adjusted model (MA...
