Three high-pressure liquid injection machines were used to inject isazofos into the root zone of tuff;grass plots to evaluate its potential for control of Hoplolaimus galeatus and Tylenchorhynchus dubius. A Rogers root zone injector delivering isazofos at 2.3 kg a.i./ha through 30 degrees and 60 degrees spray tips at 5,000 psi (3.45 x 10 Pascals) significantly reduced nematode populations at 32...

We present results of the commissioning of a new injector for the Brazilian Synchrotron Light Source. The new injector consists of the existing 125-MeV LINAC and a new 500-MeV booster synchrotron. At present, about 40 mA can be injected into the booster and about 15 mA can be ramped up to 500 MeV at a repetition rate of 0.17 Hz. The new injector has allowed the accumulation of up to 540 mA in t...

Example 1: Fuel Injector Nozzle Diameters Problem A manufacturer of fuel injector nozzles installs a new digital measuring system. Investigators want to determine how well the new system measures the nozzles. Data set Nozzle.MPJ Description Variable Fuel injector nozzle measured Nozzle Data collection Technicians randomly sample, across all major sources of process variation (machine, time, shi...

1098-4402= We have conducted a multiobjective computational optimization of a high brightness, high average current photoinjector under development at Cornell University. This injector employs a dc photoemission electron gun. Using evolutionary algorithms combined with parallel computing resources, the multivariate parameter space of the photoinjector was explored for optimal values. This power...

BACKGROUND Adolescents with severe allergies are at particular risk of severe and fatal anaphylactic reactions. Epinephrine (adrenaline) is known to be under-utilized by teenagers. OBJECTIVE We sought to gain knowledge of adolescents' attitudes towards and experience of epinephrine auto-injectors in order to inform improvements in patient education. METHODS A qualitative study of adolescent...
