The technology for producing artificial rutile by the reduction-rusting method has advantages of high product quality and less slag. A computational fluid dynamics (CFD) is used to simulate solid-liquid suspension gas-liquid dispersion characteristics in stirred corrosion reactor. results show that maximum volume fraction difference solid phase reactor with an upward-lifting impeller 0.02, down...

The beneficial effect of sleep on memory has been well-established by extensive research on humans, but the neurophysiological mechanisms remain a matter of speculation. This study addresses the hypothesis that the fast oscillations known as ripples recorded in the CA1 region of the hippocampus during slow wave sleep (SWS) may provide a physiological substrate for long term memory consolidation...

It is well documented that the quality and quantity of prior sleep influence future sleep. For instance, nocturnal sleep restriction leads to an increase in slow wave sleep (SWS) (i.e. SWS rebound) during a subsequent sleep period. However, few studies have examined how prior napping affects daytime sleep architecture. Because daytime naps are recommended for management of disrupted sleep, unde...

People who are unable to hear acoustic alarm signals because they have a complete or partial hearing loss must rely on visual or tactile signals to warn them in the event of an emergency. However, consumers report that personal smoke detector devices which provide a visual alarm do not wake people reliably. We examined the ability of visual alerting devices to wake people from the deepest stage...

INTRODUCTION Intensive care unit (ICU) patients are known to experience severely disturbed sleep, with possible detrimental effects on short- and long- term outcomes. Investigation into the exact causes and effects of disturbed sleep has been hampered by cumbersome and time consuming methods of measuring and staging sleep. We introduce a novel method for ICU depth of sleep analysis, the ICU dep...

We introduce a new solid-state NMR method, which uses very slow sample rotation to visualize NMR spectra whose width exceeds feasible spectrometer bandwidths. It is based on the idea that if we reorient a tensor by a known angle about a known axis, the shifts in the NMR frequencies observed across the spectral width allow us to reconstruct the entire tensor. Called STREAQI (Slow Turning Reveals...

Corrosion is critical to a researcher since it has substantial impact on both people's safety and the economy. A new approach based unique material been employed prevent rusting. Conducting polymer-composites are types that show promise for anticorrosion by electrochemical synthesis of polyanethole(PA)/metals oxide nanocomposite (ZnO,TiO2) Stainless Steel 304L (SS-304L) which plays as working e...

Abstract Background Fast-slow (F/S-) atrioventricular (AV) nodal reentrant tachycardia (AVNRT) is characterized by a short atrio-His (AH) interval and the earliest site of atrial activation (EAA) in proximal coronary sinus (EAA-CS), while slow-slow (S/S-) AVNRT presents long AH EAA-CS. Those intracardiac appearances are initial indicators for making diagnosis. Purpose To identify an unknown phe...
