In order to evaluate the performance of biofilter for H2S removal from contaminated air, a 120×14 cm column biofilter was constructed using clear polyacrylic material in conjunction with H2S production and control systems. The column was divided into four stages using perforated plates. The column was packed with a mixture of mushroom compost and snail shell (4:1). The performance of biofilte...

Direct simulation Monte Carlo study of effects of thermal nonuniformities in electron-beam physical vapor deposition" (2011). In a typical electron-beam physical vapor deposition system, there is limited control over how the high-power electron beam heats the metal surface. This leads to thermal nonuniformities at the melt. Three-dimensional direct simulation Monte Carlo simulations were perfor...

In this article, I examine the source of the photoplethysmograph (PPG), as well as methods of investigation, with an emphasize on amplitude, rhythm, and pulse analysis. The PPG waveform was first described in the 1930s. Although considered an interesting ancillary monitor, the "pulse waveform" never underwent intensive investigation. Its importance in clinical medicine was greatly increased wit...

We investigate the effect of different saturation histories relevant to various oil displacement processes (including secondary and tertiary gas injections) on three-phase gas/oil/brine relative permeabilities of water-wet sandstone. It is found that three-phase water (wetting phase) relative permeability is primarily a function of water saturation and shows no dependency upon saturation histor...

We present a stochastic analysis of immiscible two-phase flow ~Buckley–Leverett displacement! in heterogeneous reservoirs. Since the detailed spatial variabilities of reservoir properties such as permeability and porosity cannot be described deterministically, both permeability and porosity, or either, are treated as random space functions. In turn, water saturation and oil production rate are ...

The retina has a high rate of oxygen consumption, and the retinal vessels are knoion to constrict with increased arterial oxygen tension and dilate ivhen arterial oxygen falls. In 10 subjects, measurement of retinal venous oxygen saturation by a photographic technique has shown an increase from 55 ± 8 per cent saturation breathing air to 82 ± 9 per cent breathing 100 per cent Os. This increase ...

With significant increase of tomographic equipment power, demand for Prediction relative permeability prediction Predicting in porous media from digital image data. In this work, it is predicted three -phase relative permeabilities with co-applying Darcy’s and Stokes equations in two case studies, namely Bentheimer sandstone and Estaillades limestone which their micro-CT data files were downloa...

Traffic in most developing nations is considered mixed or heterogeneous. Motorcycle and other vehicle's behavior at signalized intersections would not probably have a similar influence on intersection capacity time of the traffic signals. In theory, saturation flow rate basic parameter to estimate This study, therefore, aims analyze motorcycle Denpasar, Bali. data are observed four approaches t...

Two inert gas methods for measurement of tissue blood flow were compared. The two methods are (1) Kety and Schmidt's inert gas saturation method, in which the tissue saturation is followed by detecting the concentration of the tracer in the venous blood leaving the organ and (2) the intraarterial radioactive inert gas injection method where the tissue washout is measured by detecting the residu...
