A Practice in Facilitating Service-Oriented Inter-Enterprise Application Integration

Noninvasive ventilation as a weaning-facilitating strategy

Methods Observational study performed in a 17 beds medicalsurgical ICU. Time of study was 14 months. Consecutive mechanically ventilated patients with COPD and/or cardiac failure were included. The variables analyzed were age, sex, ICU diagnosis, APACHE II at admission in ICU, fluid balance, ICU length of stay, tracheotomy, rate of reintubation. We distinguish two strategies of extubation based...

Quantification of energy losses at a surcharging manhole

Hydraulic models of sewer systems are commonly used to predict the risk of urban looding. However, suitable calibration datasets in lood conditions are scarce. The quantiication of energy losses within manhole structures is a current source of uncertainty within such models. To address this gap, a scaled physical manhole model is used to quantify hydraulic energy losses during surcharging and n...
