This paper describes curtain airbag gas delivery system development work using CFD analysis. The objective of developing gas delivery system was to achieve uniform inflation and reasonable time to position for oblique pole test with 5 %ile female. CFD analysis has been conducted to design gas delivery system of 3 row curtain airbag. The gas delivery system consists of T-diffuser and flexible ga...

STUDY OBJECTIVES The present study introduces a method that has been developed to improve the remote collection and transportation of gas samples from the nose and lungs. DESIGN Assessment of agreement between two methods of clinical measurements. SETTING Noninvasive exhaled gas measurement at a respiratory research laboratory. PARTICIPANTS Ten nonsmoking adult volunteers (median age, 44 ...

When animals copulate, the male organ penetrates the female. Similarly, the pollen tube of a flowering plant (the male gametophyte) penetrates the embryo sac (the female gametophyte) and then discharges its contents, which include male gametes. Details of the interaction between the pollen tube and the embryo sac are difficult to observe because of the large number of opaque ovular cells that u...

The need to reduce the energy demand of processes also creates pressure make atomizers more efficient. A promising development path could be counterflow (CFA). An atomizer, or synonymously a nozzle, is device that turns liquid into spray. CFA twin-fluid type atomizer because both and atomizing gas are fed it. Initial results suggest capable same quality atomization but using half air mass flow ...

Fourteen new infrared laser transitions in Ar, Kr, and Xe ranging from 3.725 to 17.233 pm are reported. All of the Kr laser transitions and all but oneof the Ar and Xe transitions have upper levels in the s or d state: the majority of the transitions satisfy the condition AK = AJ. Identification of a previously observed, unidentified laser line at 5.804 pm in AI is given. Nobel gas lasers are o...

In this paper, computational fluid dynamics (CFD) is utilized to characterize a prototype biolistic delivery system, the biomedical device based on the contoured-shock-tube design (CST), with the aim at investigating shocks induced flow instabilities within the contoured shock tube. The shock/interface interactions, the growth of perturbation at an interface between two fluids of different dens...

Gibberellins (GAs) are tetracyclic diterpenoids that are essential endogenous regulators of plant growth and development. GA levels within the plant are regulated by a homeostatic mechanism that includes changes in the expression of a family of GA-inactivating enzymes known as GA 2-oxidases. Ectopic expression of a pea GA 2-oxidase2 cDNA caused seed abortion in Arabidopsis, extending and confir...
