Introduction Ventilator associated pneumonia (VAP) is a complication of mechanical ventilation that increased ICU length of stay and mortality. Eckert found 26% of trauma patients intubated in the ED develop VAP as compared to 6.5% of those intubated in the ICU. Green demonstrated that 70% of critically ill patients were intubated pre-hospital or in the ED and 18.2% remained in the ED for more ...

The authors have been involved in ontological modeling of function for over 15 years. As an instance of the revisionary approach discussed in Vermaas’s position paper, we have proposed an ontological definition of function and a modeling framework based on it, which has been deployed in industry. In addition, as an instance of the overarching approach, we have proposed a reference ontology of f...

A new compact analytical model is developed to predict transient heat convection from isoflux vertical plates into a constant property surrounding region. The proposed model is based on a blending of the two asymptotes corresponding to transient diffusion into a half-space and the steady-state convection heat transfer from an isoflux vertical plate. A compact relation for transient and steady-s...

Fluid flow through a sphere has practical applications in numerous areas of technology, for instance, mineralogy, food engineering, and oilfield drilling. The goal this paper is to look at how quadratic thermal radiation activation energy affect the dissipative hybrid nanofluids around with heat source parameter. bvp4c (a MATLAB in-built function) used solve system nonlinear ordinary differenti...

The present paper refines Herzberg and Eckert’s model-theoretic approach to aggregation. The proposed refinement is aimed at naturally accounting for vote abstention, and is technically based on a more general notion of ultraproduct than the one standardly occurring in model theory textbooks. Unlike the standard ultraproduct construction, which yields the empty model as soon as any one single c...

Explicit Finite-Difference method was used to obtain the solution of the system of the non-linear ordinary differential equations which obtained from the non-linear partial differential equations. These equations describe the twodimensional flow of a MHD third-order Nano-fluid with heat and mass transfer in a circular cylindrical tube having two walls that are transversely displaced by an infin...
