This paper reports on a collaboration between two research groups. The first group has studied Formalization of ANaesthesia knowledge (FAN). An aim in the knowledge formalization was support of diagnosis, but the diagnostic method to be used was itself not formalized at the time. The second group has developed a general framework for diagnostic reasoning. The framework is parametrized to accoun...

Chen Liu, Haijun Xie, Jun Xu, Chen Jian*, Ren Dai 2 School of Energy and Power Engineering, University of Shanghai for Science and Technology 3 E-mail: [email protected] 4 Abstract: 5 The Gurney flap (GF) is a miniature lift-enhancement device and is usually mounted at the trailing 6 edge of an airfoil. The GF and has been successfully applied to isolated airfoils, multi-element 7 airf...

In this paper, the multi blade centrifugal fan parameter CAD/CFD was developed. Before treatment with the traditional design method as the foundation, use AutoCAD as development of the embedded language. The work of this regulation to establish a set of more perfect design and optimization program of axial flow fan in air, improve its economy, and provided a shortcut for energy saving and noise...

A topological drawing of a graph is fan-planar if for each edge e the edges crossing e have a common endpoint on the same side of e, and a fan-planar graph is a graph admitting such a drawing. Equivalently, this can be formulated by two forbidden patterns, one of which is the configuration where e is crossed by two independent edges and the other where e is crossed by incident edges with the co...

Focused ion beam lithography and a two-step anodization have been combined to fabricate a vertical fan-out platform containing an array of unique probes. Each probe comprises three anodic alumina nanochannels with a fan-out arrangement. The lithography is used to pattern an aluminum sheet with a custom-designed array of triangular 'cells' whose apexes are composed of nanoholes. The nanoholes gr...

The Japanese Fan The folding fan is probably one of the representative images that most commonly dwell in the gallery of picturesque metaphors of Japan. Whether in the hands of a beautiful geisha or a valiant samurai, the fan is one of those objects that the external gaze has understood as peculiar of Japanese culture and that more successfully made an impact on the construction of the myth of ...

OBJECTIVE To examine the relation between room ventilation during sleep and risk of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS). DESIGN Population-based case-control study. SETTING Eleven California counties. PARTICIPANTS Mothers of 185 infants with a confirmed SIDS diagnosis and 312 randomly selected infants matched on county of residence, maternal race/ethnicity, and age. Intervention Fan use a...

Jet fans are applied for control of air flow and support of pollutant dispersal in large enclosures. In The Netherlands, application is well known for car parks as part of the fire safety design. In the design phase often the Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD)-technique is used to verify the fire safety level afforded by the application of jet fans. However, very little is known on the modellin...

Studies have demonstrated that large-volume culture methods for sterile body fluids other than blood increase recovery compared to traditional plated-medium methods. BacT/Alert is a fully automated blood culture system for detecting bacteremia and fungemia. In this study, we compared culture in BacT/Alert standard aerobic and anaerobic bottles, BacT/Alert FAN aerobic and FAN anaerobic bottles, ...

Adder is an important functional unit of a computer. This paper provides design of a low delay threshold adder (LDTA) using fan-in bounded gates in nanotechnology. An n-bit LDTA with a fan-in bound of M + 1 has delay of O(log(N/M)) and hardware complexity of O(N log(N/M)). This design strategy allows a trade-off between the fan-in bound, delay and the complexity.
