conclusions this study indicated that the delivery rate accuracy of elastomeric infusion pumps is preserved after repeated usage. these laboratory findings suggested that elastomeric pumps could be safely refilled in the successive days to provide postoperative analgesia. results the mean flow rate in the three series of measurements showed a gradual increase; however, the difference was not st...

"Electricity for water" is an indirect measurement method of agricultural irrigation water. It establishes the quantitative relationship between electricity consumption and water withdrawal, uses data to calculate indirectly. The conversion coefficient refers ratio consumption. Through comprehensive analysis 56 typical Wells all Wells, it can be seen that electric-water camellia Zhongji machine...

In order to reduce the dependence on fossil fuels in residential sector, low-carbon-footprint technologies such as heat pumps should be used. To fully exploit solar-assisted pumps, an effective control strategy is required. This study employs a low-global-warming-potential (GWP) refrigerant for water-to-water reversible pump, which assisted by thermal energy storage tank, photovoltaic (PV) inst...

  Target modification and reduced drug accumulation are the main resistance mechanisms against fluoroquinolone antibiotics in Pseudomonas aeruginosa. We performed a genotypic characterization of three major Mex multidrug efflux pumps (MexAB-OprM, MexXY-OprM and MexCD-OprJ) in ciprofloxacin resistant clinical isolates of P. aeru­ginosa, collected from Tehran, Iran this was followed by sequencin...

Abstract Liposomes are used widely as drug delivery systems in different forms including nanosuspensions, osmotic pumps, infusion pumps and IV injections. Some of these systems (e.g. infusion or osmotic pumps) might stay stagnant for a long time during or before administration, and therefore, might face phase separation. In spite of these, there is no data available about the behavior of lipos...

Modern engines are cooled by complex air and liquid cooling systems that manage the flow of high temperature air, gases and coolants, and house critical thermal management components. Plastics, many supplied by DuPont, are playing an increasingly important role in key cooling system parts including thermostat and heater housings, outlet and inlet ports, valves, cross-overs, coolant pumps, water...

Solute-coupled water transport and isotonic transport are basic functions of low- and high-resistance epithelia. These functions are studied with the epithelium bathed on the two sides with physiological saline of similar composition. Hence, at transepithelial equilibrium water enters the epithelial cells from both sides, and with the reflection coefficient of tight junction being larger than t...

The precise observation of the angle-frequency spectrum of light filaments in water reveals a scenario incompatible with current models of conical emission (CE). Its description in terms of linear X-wave modes leads us to understand filamentation dynamics requiring a phase- and group-matched, Kerr-driven four-wave-mixing process that involves two highly localized pumps and two X waves. CE and t...
