The separation of liquid–liquid dispersions in horizontal pipes is common many industrial sectors. It remains challenging, however, to predict the characteristics flow evolution due complex mechanisms. In this work, Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulations silicone oil and water two-phase a pipe are performed. Several cases explored with different mixture velocities fractions (15%-60%). O...

The accuracy of the classical heat conduction model, known as Fourier’s law, is highly questioned, dealing with micro- and nanosystems biological tissues. In other words, results obtained from equations deviate available experimental data. It means that continuum diffusion equation insufficient inappropriate for modeling transport in these cases. There are several techniques non-Fourier conduct...

BACKGROUND Diagnosis of blunt abdominal trauma is a real challenge even for experienced trauma surgeons. Diagnostic tools that help the treating doctor in optimum management of blunt abdominal trauma include; Focussed Assessment Sonography for Trauma (FAST), Diagnostic peritoneal lavage (DPL) and CT scan. OBJECTIVES the aim of this communication is to define the recent role of FAST and CT sca...

In the past, Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) is used for primary frequency regulation. As developments in batteries progress, advancement in applications of BESS including the implementation in high power penetration is expected. Load shedding is one of frequency control methods during stand-alone operation, and the performance of frequency control improves in combination with BESS. Howeve...

Packet classification is complex due to multiple fields present in each filter rule, easily manifesting itself as a router performance bottleneck. Most known classification approaches involve either hardware support or optimization steps (to add precomputed markers and insert rules in the search data structures). Unfortunately, an approach with hardware support is expensive and has limited scal...

TOPIC: Obstructive Lung Diseases TYPE: Original Investigations PURPOSE: Asthma, the most prevalent chronic disease in children, can lead to abnormal lung function and be a risk factor for growth obstructive adulthood. Type 2 (T2) inflammation is common driver of asthma children. Dupilumab (DPL), fully human monoclonal antibody, blocks shared receptor component interleukin-4 -13, key central dri...

introduction: management of pediatric blunt abdominal trauma in resource-restricted settings requires precise clinical expertise. in this study, we reviewed pediatric patients who were suspected to have blunt abdominal trauma in a level iii trauma center in iran. materials and methods: in a cross-sectional study, 66 injured children were studied from october 01, 2014 to october 01, 2015 in niks...

This paper attempts to provide an answer to some questions that remain either poorly understood, or not well documented in the literature, on basic issues related to intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT). The questions examined are: the relationship between degeneracy and frequency response of optimizations, effects of initial beamlet fluence assignment and stopping point, what does filt...
