Monte Carlo simulation of gamma photon transport and interaction with the distillation column its contents was performed in order to predict effects photons when they interact matter. The results are presented as energy deposition on contents. Energy attenuation more pronounced walls trays compared region between trays, where there is mostly vapour space. Gamma scanning then used verify by inve...

And when they saw the pool had changed from a cup of sweet waters into a cup of salt tears, they loosened the green tresses of their hair and cried to the pool and said, ›We do not wond...

The total surface stress measured in vitro on acetabular cartilage when step-loaded by an instrumented hemiprosthesis are partitioned into fluid and cartilage network stresses using a finite element model of the cartilage layer and measurements of the layer consolidation. The finite element model is based on in situ measurements of cartilage geometry and constitutive properties. Unique instrume...

Seeing someone in need may evoke a particular kind of closeness that has been conceptualized as sympathy or empathic concern (which is distinct from other empathy constructs). In other contexts, when people suddenly feel close to others, or observe others suddenly feeling closer to each other, this sudden closeness tends to evoke an emotion often labeled in vernacular English as being moved, to...

Reflecting on our experience as nurses in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU), as well as on the urgency in the assistance to hospitalized newborns (NB), we aimed at describing the interaction between nurses and NBs during the practice of care in the oral tracheal aspiration and in the blood collection for laboratory exams, with emphasis on the physiological and behavioral responses. This i...

A measurement device for sieve plates have been designed and built at Helsinki University of Technology. The unit consists of a rectangular transparent container where one plate is installed. The flow path on the plate is of constant width. The plate is easy to change and sieve plates with two different diameters of holes have already been measured. The measurements have been done with two syst...
