The gas delivered from a cylinder of Entonox (50% nitrous oxide and 50% oxygen) may not contain adequate quantities of oxygen if the cylinder has been cooled and then allowed to warm up in a vertical position.The composition of gas delivered from cylinders cooled to not lower than -40 degrees C. remains unaltered if the cylinders are rewarmed for 24 hours in a horizontal position at a temperatu...

This problem was suggested by Bradley Klee. For the related case of one cylinder rolling inside another, see [1]. When one cylinder is directly above the other, we define the line of contact of the lower cylinder, 1, with the horizontal plane to be the z-axis, at x = y = 0. Then, the condition of rolling without slipping for the lower cylinder is that when it has rolled (positive) distance x1, ...

For the characteristics of horizontal fractures in shallow low-permeability oil layers after hydraulic fracturing in multilayer reservoirs, horizontal fractures are taken equivalent to an elliptical cylinder with the reservoir thickness using the equivalent permeability model; then, upon the elliptic seepage theory, the seepage field which has led by a vertical well with horizontal fractures is...

OBJECTIVE The aim was to determine the maximum force that can be exerted on an object before it is pulled or slips from the grasp of the hand ("breakaway strength") for fixed overhead handholds of varying orientation, shape, and friction. BACKGROUND Many studies have quantified hand strength by having participants squeeze, pull on, or create torque on an object or handle, but few studies have...

The increasing trend in use of marmoset monkeys in behavioral studies has necessitated a greater understanding of their natural behavior, especially within confined spatial environments. One way to approach this issue is to examine locomotor and exploratory strategies using the cylinder test, as done recently for the rat by Gharbawie et al. [Gharbawie OA, Whishaw PA, Whishaw IQ. The topography ...

Natural convection in an annulus with a discrete heat source on the inner cylinder is studied numerically. The outer cylinder is isothermally cooled at a fixed low temperature, and the top wall, the bottom wall and unheated portions of the inner cylinder are thermally insulated. For low applied heat flux through the heater, as measured non-dimensionally by a Grashof number, Gr , the flow in the...
