Functional residual capacity (FRC), residual volume (RV), vital capacity (VC), and total lung capacity (TLC) were measured in 162 men aged 18.9 to 78.6 years using a multiple breath helium dilution technique. Multiple regression equations were generated to predict these lung parameters from the best weighted combination (p less than or equal to 0.05) of age, mass, standing height, body surface ...

High-power laser diode arrays are used for a variety of space-based laser programs as an energy source for diode-pumped solid-state lasers. Specifically, 1064 nm Nd:YAG lasers require laser diode arrays emitting at a wavelength of 808 nm that operate at quasi-cw peak powers of 100 Watts per bar. Reliability and performance data is needed for these components; particularly for operation in a sat...

We present the observation of a new intermediate redshift damped Lyα absorption system candidate, discovered in the course of a spectroscopic follow-up for identifying the sources detected in a 150Å-wide bandpass UV-imaging survey at 2000Å. The system displays very strong Mg ii and Fe ii lines and a high Fe ii/Mg ii ratio, which, following photoionization models, indicates a very high neutral h...

Eleven subjects with non-paralytic and 10 with paralytic kyphoscoliosis and nine normal control subjects were studied during sleep. The Cobb angle of those with kyphoscoliosis varied from 600 to 1400 (median 100°) and the vital capacity varied from 17% to 56% (median 28%) of the value predicted on the basis of span. Recordings made during sleep included expired carbon dioxide tension at the nos...

Zr-containing UiO-66 and MOF-808 are evaluated for converting levulinic acid (LA) into γ-valerolactone (GVL) through various routes: (i) Step-wise esterification of LA to n-butyl levulinate (nBuL) Meerwein-Ponndorf-Verley (MPV) reduction GVL; (ii) One-pot two-steps with n-butanol followed by MPV sec-butanol; (iii) direct conversion GVL a tandem reaction. Selection this multistep complex reactio...

Molecularly defined organometallic rhodium phosphine complexes were efficiently heterogenized within a MOF structure without affecting neither their molecular nature nor catalytic behavior. Phosphine-functionalized MOF-808 served as solid ligand in series of eight catalysts. These MOF-heterogenized catalysts showed activity up to 2100 h–1 for ethylene hydroformylation toward propionaldehyde the...
