The "dose" of inhalational anaesthetics is commonly expressed in terms of volume per cent (vol/vol) of the agent in an inspired or end-tidal gas sample. However, the "dose" should be expressed more correctly as a partial pressure which can be calculated as the fractional concentration multiplied by the total pressure of the system (e.g. the partial pressure of oxygen in air=0.21x760 = 160 mm Hg...

We have examined the growth of human diploid fibroblasts (WI-38 and IMR90) as a function of initial seeding density and oxygen tension. Cells at young and mid-passage levels were subcultivated in Dulbecco's modified Eagle's medium with 10% fetal bovine serum at 0.005, 0.01, 0.03, 0.1, 0.3, 1, and 2 X 10(4) cells/cm2. Flasks were equilibrated before and after seeding with 1 of 10 gas mixtures co...

T-300 carbon fibers and T-300 carbon fiber reinforced silicon carbide composites (C/SiC) were oxidized in flowing reduced oxygen partial pressure environments at a total pressure of one atmosphere (0.5 atm O2, 0.05 atm O2 and 0.005 atm O2, balance argon). Experiments were conducted at four temperatures (816°, 1149°, 1343°, and 1538°C). The oxidation kinetics were monitored using thermogravimetr...

in this research, aluminizing packs containing naf and nh4cl activators were used for aluminizing of pure titanium samples at 1100 ºc. the results showed that the layers of tial3, tial2, γ-tial, α2-ti3al, and α-solid solution are formed on titanium samples in both cases. however, the weight gain and the thickness of tial3 layer in treated samples with nh4cl activator are greater than those when...
