soil compaction can occur as a result of a number of factors. one of the most important factors is soil response to pressures imposed by wheels and soil engaging tools. this research investigated the effect of tyre load and inflation pressure on soil compaction-related factors. these factors include rut width, rut depth, cone index and horizontal force in different layers of soil profile. in th...

BACKGROUND Artificial airway cuff pressure should be maintained within a narrow range. Excessive cuff pressure presents a risk of tracheal damage and stenosis. Insufficient cuff pressure adds the risk of secretion leak past the cuff, tidal-volume leakage, and accidental extubation. The available cuff-inflation devices do not address these problems. OBJECTIVE In the laboratory I developed and...

abstract: compaction under tractors tires is of special concern because the weight of these machines has increased dramatically in the last years. these machines and others associated with crop cultural practices weight enough to significantly compact the soil, especially if the soil is soft with high moisture content during tilling, planting, or harvesting. the stress distribution and the size...

In this research study, one of the most crucial automotive engineering problems is intended to be solved. The necessity of tire pressure monitoring system is beyond doubt. Such systems are now provided relying on expensive sensors. In this study an indirect tire pressure monitoring system is proposed, utilizing identification techniques, which will reduce the cost of monitoring considerably in ...

Introduction Nowadays, interventional cardiology brought a great success to the treatment of many cardiovascular disorders. Despite these great beneficial effects, it has side effects related to the applied techniques. Among them, inflation pressure and pattern of inflation play fundamental role in this regard. By low and very high inflation pressures, the rate of stent thrombosis and in-stent ...

An 18 4R38 radial-ply tractor drive tyre was operated at 10% travel reduction, at three correctly inflated combinations of dynamic load and inflation pressures on a structured clay soil and at another combination of load and inflation pressure on a loose sandy loam and a loose clay loam soil. Soil–tyre interface pressures on the face of one lug and on an undertread region between two lugs were ...

UNLABELLED Although the mechanism of tourniquet-induced hypertension is still unclear, plasma norepinephrine concentrations continuously increase in parallel to arterial blood pressure during tourniquet inflation. Clonidine attenuates hyperadrenergic and hyperdynamic responses. We investigated the effects of clonidine on prolonged tourniquet inflation. Twenty-nine patients scheduled for electiv...

AIMS Optimizing stent deployment is important for both acute- and long-term outcomes. High-pressure balloon inflation is the standard for coronary stent implantation. However, there is no standardized inflation protocol. We hypothesized that prolonged high-pressure balloon inflation until stabilization of inflation pressure is superior to a rapid inflation/deflation sequence for both stent expa...
