In this paper the pollution resistance before the foot of the discharge, and the geometrical form of the leakage current lines, during the evolution of the discharge until flashover, is very important for the modelling of this phenomenon on a real insulator, and for the determination of its critical conditions. To study this problems, we have achieves a new model of laboratory. This model looks...

Based on the assumption of a uniform property annular-shaped region at the labyrinth entrance, this paper proposes a method for leakage flow rate prediction at the discharge end-face of twin-screw compressors. Assumption of such a region is the key aspect in the construction of an equivalent network of end-face leakage flows, in which the labyrinth entrance zone is a node. Using mass and energy...

BACKGROUND This study aimed to assess the clinical short-term results of a primary closure following laparoscopic common bile duct exploration (LCBDE) combined with intraoperative choledochoscopy and D-J tube drainage for choledocholithiasis treatment. MATERIAL AND METHODS Twenty-five patients (14 women and 11 men) who underwent LCBDE with primary duct closure and D-J tube drainage for choledoc...

Although it is recognized that hepatobiliary scan is of value in assessing postoperative complications of biliary surgery or cadaveric whole liver transplantation, there have been few reports regarding its usefulness following living donor liver transplantation. We performed living donor liver transplantation in a patient with biliary cirrhosis due to hepatolithiasis, using a right lobe graft f...

We present a novel temperature/leakage sensor, developed for high-speed, low-power, monitoring of processors and complex VLSI chips. The innovative idea is the use of 4T SRAM cells to measure on-chip temperature and leakage.Using the dependence of leakage currents to temperature, we measure varying decay (discharge) times of the 4T cell at different temperatures. Thus, decaying 4T sensors provi...

This Critical Review on environmental concerns of desalination plants suggests that planning and monitoring stages are critical aspects of successful management and operation of plants. The site for the desalination plants should be selected carefully and should be away from residential areas particularly for forward planning for possible future expansions. The concerning issues identified are ...

This study aims toward the application of composite phase-change material (CPCM) in electric vehicles, which suffers from leakage, high rigidity, and low thermal conductivity. In this study, a novel flexible with conductivity leakage has been proposed, presented, utilized battery module. Among these, polyethylene glycol (PEG), as component, styrene–butadiene–styrene (SBS) support material, ethy...
