Why Does Qigong Have a Curative Effect? Traditional Chinese medicine holds that disease occurs when there is stagnation of qi, which will be cured when the circulation of qi and blood is improved. Qigong is a therapy effective for treating stagnation of qi and promoting the circulation of qi and blood. Qigong therapy can be divided into two main categories: self-treatment, i.e. the practice of ...

Stagnation of Qi and Blood are basic clinical patterns of Oriental Medicine, but their origin from splits in consciousness is rarely considered clinically significant. This article suggests that the root of stagnation lies in the mind’s attempt to control existential anxiety through strategies of energy containment which give rise to psychosomatic compartmentalization. The author then goes on t...

DNS and laboratory experiments show that the spatial distribution of straining stagnation points in homogeneous isotropic 3D turbulence has a fractal structure with dimension D(s)=2. In kinematic simulations the exponent gamma in Richardson's law and the fractal dimension D(s) are related by gamma=6/D(s). The Richardson constant is found to be an increasing function of the number density of str...

The aim of this paper is to study the oblique stagnation point flow on vertical plate with uniform surface heat flux in presence of magnetic field. Using Stream function, partial differential equations corresponding to the momentum and energy equations are converted into non-linear ordinary differential equations. Numerical solutions of these equations are obtained using Runge-Kutta Fehlberg me...

The effects of condensation of the world.ng gee (nitrogen) on pitot and static pressures in the R.A.R.D.E. hypersonic gun tunnel have been examined and the onset of condensation determined for flow Mach numbers of 8.4, 10.4 and 12.9. A large degree of supersaturation was observed at the two higher Maoh numbers. Symbols M flow Mach number P statio pressure P 1 stagnation pressure p2 pitot pressu...

The problem of the formation of a stagnation knot in the head of a precessing stellar jet is investigated from both an analytical and numerical point of view. This dense structure is formed via a similar method to that proposed by Steffen (these proceedings) for the formation of FLIERS in planetary nebulae. Initial results suggest that the formation of a stagnation knot is possibly an intrinsic...

Asymptotic methods based on those of geometrical optics are applied to some steady convection-diffusion streamed flows at a high Péclet number. Even with the assumption of inviscid, irrotational flow past a body with uniform ambient conditions, the rays from which the solution is constructed can only be found after local analyses have been carried out near the stagnation points. In simple cases...

Internal mist/steam blade cooling technology has been considered for the future generation of Advanced Turbine Systems (ATS). Fine water droplets of about 5 mm were carried by steam through a single slot jet onto a heated target surface in a confined channel. Experiments covered Reynolds numbers from 7500 to 25,000 and heat fluxes from 3 to 21 kW/m. The experimental results indicate that the co...

Stent placement keep artery open but it perturbs more often blood flow. Stent shape in artery can provoke the presence of recirculation zones, blood stagnation zones, thrombosis and embolism. the aim of this work is to find optimal stents shapes in order to reduce blood stagnation and recirculation zones. As it has already been observed [2], [8] a stent associated with a higher value of shear s...

High ionic loadings were found in fogwater collected at Bakersfield. California during an extended stagnation episode. The major ions were NH:, NOT, and SO:-, with concentrations usually in the millimolar range. Droplet growth played an important r6le in determining fogwater concentrations. The amount of solute decreased substantially over the course of each fog event; this was attributed, at l...
