early detection of free air in the peritoneal cavity is vital in diagnosis of life-threatening emergencies, and can play a significant role in expediting treatment. we present a series of cases in which bedside ultrasound (us) in the emergency department accurately identified evidence of free intra-peritoneal air and echogenic (dirty) free fluid consistent with a surgical final diagnosis of a p...

air-jet weaving is an advanced weaving method with high efficiency and productivity. it is one of the most widely used methods of weaving in the world. in air-jet filling insertion, the motion of weft yarn is caused by friction between weft yarn and air blown through nozzle. after declamping and subjecting the yarn to air stream, its motion is not active but very complicated and influenced by s...

UNLABELLED Providing adequate indoor air quality while reducing energy consumption is a must for efficient ventilation system design. In this work, we study the transport of particulate contaminants in a displacement-ventilated space, using the idealized 'emptying filling box' model (P.F. Linden, G.F. Lane-serff and D.A. Smeed (1990) Emptying filling boxes: the fluid mechanics of natural ventil...

We numerically study single-defect photonic crystal waveguides obtained from a triangular lattice of air holes in a dielectric background. It is found that, for medium-high air filling ratios, the transmission has very small values in narrow frequency regions lying inside the photonic band gap-the so-called ministop bands. Two types of ministop bands are shown to exist; one of which is due to t...

introduction: adequate root canal seal following retreatment is essential for a successful outcome. resilon/epiphany (r/e) obturation system has been introduced as a substitute for conventional gutta-percha/sealer method. this in vitro study compared the amount of apical microleakage of r/e with gutta-percha/ah26 (gp/ah26) sealer as secondary root canal filling following retreatment in human te...

In order to optimize the design method and improve the performance of hydraulic retarder, the numerical simulation of multi-field coupling of heat, fluid and solid is carried out to hydraulic retarder, based on the numerical computation and algorithm of heat-fluid coupling and fluid-solid coupling. The computation models of heat-fluid coupling and fluid-solid coupling of hydraulic retarder are ...

The aim of this work is to better understand fluid displacement mechanisms at the pore scale in relation to capillary-filling rules. Using specifically designed micro-models we investigate the role of pore body shape on fluid displacement during drainage and imbibition via quasi-static and spontaneous experiments at ambient conditions. The experimental results are directly compared to lattice B...
