OBJECTIVE To clarify whether the dysfunction of the lateral semicircular canal remain or not in patients with heavy or light cupula. STUDY DESIGN Prospective case series. METHODS The subjects were 19 patients with heavy cupula (3 males, 16 females; mean age, 62.8 years) and 14 patients with light cupula (5 males, 9 females; mean age, 63 years). Caloric testing (iced water) was carried out a...

The effect of dry salting during the cold-smoking process was evaluated on Atlantic salmon initially stored in refrigerated seawater (RSW) or ice. A 2D mathematical model developed from first principles, simulating heat and mass transfer at increasing duration. This validated using experimental values compared with empirical Zugarramurdi Lupín. predicted were used for water activity prediction ...

The paper presents a modal model to describe the interaction between 4-conductor bundle and wind. A finite-element of is used perform linear analysis, extract mode shapes natural frequencies system. motion expanded then described through coordinates representing first horizontal, vertical torsional modes. Wind tunnel tests were performed adding templates over cables mimic presence ice same cond...

This paper presents a novel level-set-based approach to model evolving boundary problems for in-flight ice accretion. No partial differential equations are solved as in the standard level-set formulation, but simple geometrical quantities employed provide an implicit discretization of updated boundary. method avoids mesh entanglements and grid intersections typical algebraic deforming technique...

Aeolian vibration in bare and iced cable was simulated using the theory of cable vibration. High frequency vibration creates stresses in the cable and consequently in the ice covering that cable, which may result in ice failure and eventually ice shedding. These stresses were estimated in this study. Displacement of the cable during vibration was determined; furthermore, instantaneous wind load...

Laboratory studies were conducted to develop ultralow oxygen (ULO) treatment for controlling western flower thrips, Frankliniella occidentalis (Pergande) (Thysanoptera: Thripidae), on broccoli at a low temperature of 1 degree C. Complete control was achieved in 5 d at 0.003% oxygen. Oxygen level affected efficacy of ULO treatment. At a higher oxygen level of 0.03%, 6-d treatment killed -85% of ...
