Our main aim was to determine an appropriate time for lung function measurements in infants, prior to environmental influences upon their respiratory tract. Tidal flow-volume loops, respiratory system compliance (Crs) and resistance (Rrs) (single breath passive occlusion technique) were measured in 24 healthy, awake awake infants, at one hour and on the following four days of life to investigat...

Little is known about the effect of tidal changes on minor flooding in most lagoonal estuaries, often due to a paucity historical records that predate landscape changes. In this contribution, we recover and apply archival range data show mean Miami, Florida, has almost doubled since 1900, from 0.32 0.61 m today. A likely cause dredging ?15 deep, 150 wide harbor entrance channel beginning early ...

I . The intake and excretion of energy, total nitrogen, fat and carbohydrate by twenty baby boys aged about a fortnight were measured over 3 days. 2. Ten of the babies received breast milk which had been expressed from their mothers, the remaining ten received one of two preparations based on dried cow’s milk, with either lactose or sucrose added. 3 . The intake of energy, protein and carbohydr...

INTRODUCTION There is an increasing interest in biphasic positive airway pressure with spontaneous breathing (BIPAP+SBmean), which is a combination of time-cycled controlled breaths at two levels of continuous positive airway pressure (BIPAP+SBcontrolled) and non-assisted spontaneous breathing (BIPAP+SBspont), in the early phase of acute lung injury (ALI). However, pressure support ventilation ...

in recent years, several ocean tide models have been used to calculate tides using data of satellite and tide gauges data. global ocean tide models have many applications in various sciences such as geophysics, geology and geodesy and oceanography. considering­ the existence of many models, a quantitative evaluation of research, and ranking and selecting the best model of the global ocean tide ...

Oceanic tidal angular momentum (OTAM) is calculated for the four major tides of the Arctic Ocean, based on the tidal elevations and current velocities from a recent two-dimensional numerical hydrodynamic model. The presented OTAM tables are meant to be complementary to other modeling studies that use satellite altimetry (which cannot observe Arctic Ocean tides because of ice cover and limited s...

A genome-wide transcriptional analysis of Alteromonas naphthalenivorans SN2 was performed to investigate its ecophysiological behavior in contaminated tidal flats and seawater. The experimental design mimicked these habitats that either added naphthalene or pyruvate; tidal flat-naphthalene (TF-N), tidal flat-pyruvate (TF-P), seawater-naphthalene (SW-N), and seawater-pyruvate (SW-P). The transcr...

We present an improved analytic calculation for the tidal radius of satellites and test our results against N-body simulations. The tidal radius in general depends upon four factors: the potential of the host galaxy, the potential of the satellite, the orbit of the satellite and, which is new to this paper, the orbit of the star within the satellite. We demonstrate that this last point is criti...
