Overload pressure sensor can be used to measure and control the pressure of the high pressure compressed air and gas. In this paper, under the premise of ensuring the sensor full-scale range of linear response, through the appropriate contact of the flexible diaphragm and the substrate to effectively improve the sensor overload. Overload pressure sensor has a housing, metal pressure port as wel...

The pressure-induced unfolding of lysozyme was investigated in an aqueous guanidinium chloride solution by means of ultraviolet spectroscopy. Assuming a two-state transition model, volume changes were calculated from the slope of free energy vs. pressure plots over a temperature range of 10 to 60 degrees C. Between 25 and 60 degrees C, almost constant volume changes were observed in the transit...

The structural and optical properties of self-nucleated crystals grown by a near atmospheric pressure solution growth method are presented. High-resolution room temperature Raman scattering studies demonstrate that stress-free crystals with low free-electron background have been produced. Low and room temperature photoluminescence experiments confirm the presence of shallow donors and an unknow...

To reduce time-dependent aggregation phenomena and achieve true "molecular" solution, the "pressure cell" solubilization method of Vorwerg and co-workers was applied to solutions of guar galactomannans (three samples of different molecular weights), using various heating, time, and pressure profiles. Physicochemical characterization of the guar samples before and after pressure cell treatment i...

Application of the computer simulation for solving the incompressible flow problems motivates developing efficient and accurate numerical models. The set of Inviscid Incompressible Euler equations can be applied for wide range of engineering applications. For the steady state problems, the equation of continuity can be simultaneously solved with the equations of motion in a coupled manner using...

In this paper the iterative MSFV method is extended to include the sequential implicit simulation of time dependent problems involving the solution of a system of pressure-saturation equations. To control numerical errors in simulation results, an error estimate, based on the residual of the MSFV approximate pressure field, is introduced. In the initial time steps in simulation iterations are e...

BACKGROUND Heparinized saline solution is used to prevent occlusion in the arterial catheters and central venous pressure monitoring catheters. Even at low dose, heparin administration can be associated with serious complications. Normal saline solution can maintain patency of arterial catheters and central venous pressure monitoring catheters. OBJECTIVES The current study aimed to compare th...

BACKGROUND AND METHODS We compared a hypertonic saline-dextran solution (7.5% NaCl/6% dextran-70) with 0.9% NaCl (normal saline) for treatment of intraoperative hypovolemia. Fourteen anesthetized pigs (mean weight 36.3 +/- 2.1 kg) underwent thoracotomy, followed by hemorrhage for 1 hr to reduce mean arterial pressure to 45 mm Hg. A continuous infusion of either solution was then initiated and t...

Conventional resuscitation of traumatic hemorrhagic shock involves the intravenous administration of isotonic (normal saline) or slightly hypotonic (lactated Ringer’s, LR) solution beginning in the prehospital setting. Although not conclusive, prior animal and human studies have suggested that alternative resuscitation with hypertonic saline (7.5%) solutions may reduce mortality in these patien...

hypertonic solutions play an important role in the treatment of tissue edema. following the induction of experimental vasogenic brain edema by occlusion of the common carotid arteries in eight rabbits, the effect of hypertonic lactated ringer's solution (subjects), vs. isotonic lactated ringer's solution (control), was studied on blood pressure, electrolyte (sodium, potassium, and cal...
