A 3 year retrospective review (1995 to 1997) of 127 patients with cervical dysplasia who underwent Laser Vaporisation of the cervix and LEEP at the Gynaecological Cancer Centre, KK Women's & Children's Hospital, Singapore, was undertaken. Amongst the patients in the Laser Vaporisation group, the mean age was 37.7 years (SD 8.8), the mean operating time was 14.8 minutes (SD 8.5), 63.6% were give...

This article provides a theoretical energy performance and carbon footprint analysis of the hydrofluoroolefin HFO-1234ze(E) mixture R-515B as low global warming potential (GWP) refrigerants to replace hydrofluorocarbon HFC-134a in different heat pump applications. The reference configuration is single-stage cycle with an internal exchanger (IHX). In this way, impact IHX on medium moderately hig...

A semi-empirical model for pool boiling over porous surfaces is presented. The pressure drop across the porous surface is estimated using Darcy 's law. The signi®cance of the latent heat ̄ux contribution for highly porous surfaces is examined. Two nucleation factors are de®ned and correlated in terms of measurable quantities using literature data. An expression for the total heat ̄ux in terms o...

Drying of solid particles is generally divided into three periods: a short initial heating period, a constant drying rate period, and a falling drying rate period. Drying in a fixed under various drying conditions was experimentally studied. The main goals of the measurements were to calculate the heat transfer coefficient based on the measured values, and to evaluate the validity of the consta...

Laser technologies for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) have steadily replaced transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) over the past 10 yr in many parts of the world [1]. For example, the rate of TURP performance declined 47.6% in a US Medicare population between 2000 and 2008 [2]. Techniques for laser prostatectomy used in each country vary, with enucleation preferred in some countrie...
