Nomenclature Historical Pages-1.80 m , AVD is unlikely to be required, and, therefore, 2 should not be routinely included in the CPB circuit unless required intraoperatively. This rationale would also have cost-saving implications. Our study also suffers a number of limitations. First, despite all data being prospectively recorded, it has been analysed retrospectively. Second, the patients were...

Résumé — Analyse de la récupération d'huile lourde par procédé thermique dans une barre de méandre : du modèle géologique à la modélisation de réservoir — Ce travail vise à évaluer l’impact des hétérogénéités d’un réservoir pétrolier sur la récupération d’huiles lourdes par le processus de Steam Assisted Gravity Drainage (SAGD) en utilisant des modèles numériques appliqués à un modèle réservoir...

In adult cardiopulmonary bypass surgery, vacuum assisted venous drainage has become a popular technique to augment venous return to the bypass circuit. The application of this technique in neonatal cardiopulmonary bypass surgery could be beneficial to the further miniaturization of neonatal circuitry by coupling radical respositioning of the oxygenator and pump console with decreasing line leng...

this investigation presents the effect of various parameters on foam stability and its rheological properties. the underlying idea of this experiment is generating of drilling foam with uniform bubbles. the main problem of foam using is controlling its stability during field application. the most important parameters which cause instability in foam are gravity drainage, gas diffusion and bubble...

This paper discusses many aspects of the application horizontal wells for field development, starting with basic question why to opt this technology. The different considerations be taken into account when dealing technology are reviewed, including some inherent downsides like higher cost and operational complications. main emphasis, however, is placed on practical reservoir engineering aspects...

BACKGROUND Active-assistive range of motion exercises to gain shoulder elevation have been subdivided into gravity-minimized and upright-assisted exercises, yet no study has evaluated differences in muscular demands. HYPOTHESIS Compared with gravity-minimized exercises, upright-assisted exercises will generate larger electromyographic (EMG) activity. Compared with all active-assistive exercis...

During drainage, as a voxel of porous material is being actively invaded prior to percolation, the invading nonwetting fluid cannot be transmitted neighboring downstream until critical saturation (Snc) reached. This occurs when forms percolating path across voxel. We present novel laboratory observations gravitationally stable, air/water drainage in thin bead packs, with 2D fields monitored at ...
