Background: Lung separation is the basis of thoracic anesthesia, which is performed by different instruments. Checking probable malpositioning of tracheal tube needs fiberoptic bronchoscopy. The aim of this study was to compare respirator suggested compliance with fiberoptic findings in detecting major tracheal tube malpositioning.Methods: A total of 256 patients undergoing thoracic surgery wit...

Eccentricity fault is one the most common fault types of disk-type permanent magnet machines, which could lead to devastating effects. Unfortunately, most of the previous works have studied this fault and its detection techniques for slotted structure with common winding. Therefore, in this paper, the effects of eccentricity faults on the performance of single-sided slotted, single-sided slotle...

In this study, the unsteady double-diffusive mixed convection in the one and two-sided lid-driven cavities are studied and compared together using numerical SIMPLE algorithm. Uniform but different temperatures and mass concentrations are assumed at horizontal walls. The used fluid (pure air) was assumed incompressible and Newtonian. The used numerical method is firstly validated against previou...
