In sanitary inquiries my attention was early directed to instances of layers or strata of air of malarious influence, sucli as this : A medical officer, pointing to a mist, spread like a sheet over a valley, said, " That sheet just covers the bulk of my patients; out of it or above it I have nothing scarcely but midwifery cases and accidents. I have, had instances of children whose heads were a...

waterwashing or biodiesel purification is one of the steps in biodiesel fuel processing. waterwashing of the fuel is an indispensable processing stage, due to the presence of impurities in the fuel. in this research work, some of the effective parameters in biodiesel waterwashing and the optimum conditions which lead to economy in time and cost of waterwashing were investigated. the effective p...

The heat dissipation capacity of air-cooled computing and telecommunications cabinets is limited by acoustic noise and fan reliability considerations. The present work quantifies the potential for thermal management of a sealed cabinet using an evaporating mist introduced upstream of the high-power electronic components. The proposed concept consists of droplets of mist being dispersed in the a...

DENSITY: software for analysing capture–recapture data from passive detector arrays.— A general computer–intensive method is described for fitting spatial detection functions to capture–recapture data from arrays of passive detectors such as live traps and mist nets. The method is used to estimate the population density of 10 species of breeding birds sampled by mist–netting in deciduous forest...

In this work, the process of mist deposition is explored as a method used to deposit organic semiconductors for applications in organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs). The deposition kinetics of a specially formulated hole transport agent is studied. The results indicate that the mist-deposited organic film thickness varies linearly with precursor concentration, deposition time and substrate pot...

In Part 1 of this paper a model was developed to describe the formation mechanisms and dynamic behavior of cutting fluid mist. This part of the paper focuses on an experimental investigation of the mist generated by the interaction of the fluid with the rotating cylindrical workpiece during a turning operation and the simulation of the dynamic behavior of the mist droplets, resulting in the pre...

We developed new processes which can collect and detect rapidly airborne pathogens such as the avian flu virus for the pandemic prevention. The fluorescence antibody technique is known as one of high-sensitive detection methods for viruses, but this needs up to a few hours to bind sufficient fluorescence dyes to viruses for detection. In this paper, we developed a mist-labeling can detect subst...

Building a group of agents which can work effectively as a team is more than just merely putting individual agents together. Agents working in a team require the abilities to plan, communicate and coordinate with one another. Furthermore, systems in which agents are simply equipped with precomputed coordination plans will fail to work in complex, dynamic environments. Thus it is extremely diffi...

Mist-assisted film cooling has exhibited great potential for efficient of a turbine blade. Trench structures can significantly affect the performance air, while their impact on adhesion characteristics droplets and thus mist-assisted is unclear. This work highlights combination these two aspects by exploring improvement trenched holes with shaped lips using three-dimensional computations. The r...

OBJECTIVE To systematically review the risk of mortality associated with long term use of tiotropium delivered using a mist inhaler for symptomatic improvement in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. DATA SOURCES Medline, Embase, the pharmaceutical company clinical trials register, the US Food and Drug Administration website, and ClinicalTrials.gov for randomised controlled trials from ince...
