For nearly a century experimental measurements of the velocities of detonations in gases have been found in general agreement with those of the Chapman-Jouguet (C-J) hypothesis predicting velocities, relative to the burned gases, equal to the speed of sound in the burned gases. This was further supported by the Zeldovich von Neumann Döring (ZND) theories predicting Chapman-Jouguet velocities fo...

In a reaction time (RT) task 40 subjects were told to react to the onset of a 6-second shock. Following l0 trials, half of the subjects were told that by decreasing their RT they would reduce shock duration. Remaining subjects were simply told that shock duration would he reduced. All subjects, regardless of group assignment or RT, received 3-second shocks in the second half of the study. Durin...

staphylococcus aureus is a major causative pathogen of clinical and subclinical mastitis of dairy domestic ruminants. this agent produces a variety of extracellular toxins and virulence factors including toxic shock syndrome toxin-1 (tsst-1) which is the major cause of toxic shock syndrome (tss). in this study 58 s. aureus isolates obtained from 9 dairy herds in east and west azerbaijan prov...

Monetary policy uncertainty affects the transmission of monetary shocks to longer-term nominal and real yields. For a given shock, reaction yields is more pronounced when level low. Primary dealers other investors adjust their interest rate positions low than high. These portfolio adjustments likely explain larger pass-through shock bond findings shed new light on role that plays in financial m...

Although anaphylactic shock during the perioperative period is rare, it can be lethal due to severe cardiovascular and respiratory collapse. Midazolam is generally used as premedication for relieving anxiety about the operation, and the danger of anaphylactic shock after intramuscular injection is not widely recognized. We report the first case of anaphylactic shock occurring during the periope...

Experiments are conducted in a shock tube to study the shock loading of a cylinder and a cylinder bank. The experiments model the loading of the cooling tubes in an inertial confinement fusion reactor where banks of tubes line the reaction chamber. The diffraction of the shock wave is visualized using shadowgraphy. Shock loading of the cylinder(s) is measured with flush mounted piezoelectric pr...

Abstract This study uses annual data over the period 2005-2014 and the Panel VECM approach to examine financial inclusion and monetary policy effectiveness in Africa. The study shows that financial inclusion and monetary policy effectiveness are linked by a set of long-run relationships. Policy reaction to the positive financial inclusion shock is not significant. Policy reaction to the posit...

Hydatid cyst, the larval stage of Echinococcus spp., is a common parasitic disease in Iran. The liver and the lungs are the most commonly involved organs. Hydatid cysts have also been reported in bones and soft tissues such as muscle, brain tissue, spleen, thyroid and even in the heart. Hydatid cyst of the inguinal area, resembling a hernia is a rarity presenting at an unusual site. A hyper...

Detonation processes probed with atomistic details have remained elusive due to highly complex reactions in heterogeneous shock structures. Here, we provide atomistic details of the initial reaction pathways during shock-induced decomposition of 2,4,6-triamino-1,3,5-trinitrobenzene (TATB) crystal using large reactive molecular dynamics simulations based on reactive force fields. Simulation resu...

Extracorporeal shock wave therapy has undergone continuous development and has become a well-established therapy option both in urology and in orthopaedics/trauma surgery. Experimental and clinical studies have proved the effectiveness of extracorporeal shock wave therapy in the treatment of connective tissue diseases such as fibromatosis. The pathomechanism of capsular fibrosis after augmentat...
