This paper describes a thermal model that represents the heat generation behavior of large format (10.5 Ah) Li-ion pouch cell. The is based on calculation from experimental measurements internal resistance and entropic coefficient. Predictions are compared with adiabatic calorimetry data. Higher discharge rates larger temperature operation ranges than ones reported in prior studies considered. Results simulations have prediction error 21% comparison for processes carried out at moderate...

The relationship between structure and function is an invaluable context with which to explore biological mechanisms of normal dysfunctional hearing. systematic topographic representation frequency originates at the cochlea, retained throughout much central auditory system. cochlear nucleus (CN), initiates all ascending pathways, represents essential link for understanding organization. A model CN that maps in 3D would facilitate investigations possible specializations pathologic changes...

The effect of several operational and geometric variables on the particle size distribution powders produced by close-coupled gas atomisation is analysed from a total 66 experiments. Powders three pure metals (copper, tin iron) two alloys (bronze Cu-15 wt% Sn stainless steel SS 316 L) have been produced. Nitrogen, argon helium were used as atomising gases. It shown that gas-to-metal ratio volume flow rates (GMRV) more relevant than mass (GMR) in order to analyse size. Kishidaka's equation,...

Hypothesis: Mice lacking functional KCNQ1 (previously known as KvLQT1) channels exhibit and structural abnormalities that indicate disturbed production of endolymph. Background: Congenital deafness associated with cardiac conduction (Jervell Lange-Nielsen syndrome) is dysfunctional KCNQ1/KCNE1 channel complex. This potassium plays a critical role in the homeostasis endolymph by stria vascularis. A preliminary report documented severe scala media vestibular compartments single mouse alleles....

Some of the latest treatments for unresectable liver malignancies (primary or metastatic tumours), which include bland embolisation, chemoembolisation, and radioembolisation, among others, take advantage increased arterial blood supply to tumours locally attack them. A better understanding factors that influence this transport may help improve therapeutic procedures by taking flow patterns designing catheters infusion systems result in injected beads having access tumour vasculature....

Researchers demonstrate that the lifetime of an individual droplet embedded in a dense spray lamellae is much longer than single drop evaporating quiescent air, as described by ${d}^{2}$ law. An analogy made with way mixing times are understood for passive scalars order to describe stretched dry environment.

The effectiveness of a close-coupled gas atomisation process largely depends on the operational and geometric variables. In this study, Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) techniques are used to model simulate flow in melt nozzle area for convergent-divergent, atomiser absence stream. Firstly, reference case, which is nitrogen at 50 bar supersonic with throat width L0 has been modelled, presented. Then, influence both inlet pressure design parameter investigated, comparing numerical results...

This study aims to identify factors that may help predict recurrence, the need for second-look operations, and other outcomes in pediatric population.Case series with chart review.Tertiary medical center.Five hundred seventeen ears 493 patients underwent primary acquired cholesteatoma resection over a 37-year period. Demographic (age, sex, conditions), laterality, presence of perforation or otorrhea on otoscopic exam, preoperative most recent audiologic data, detailed intraoperative data...

The article describes from an architectonical point of view the design, assembly, and energy behavior a prototype for air-conditioning in residential buildings using Peltier cells, which means application field construction technology used very specific areas. new system has been designed as independent, prefabricated, modular element that must fit perfectly between structural floors is easily adapted to demands different buildings. thermoelectric cooling heating unit offer high level...

Summary Liver radioembolization (RE) is a treatment option for patients with unresectable and chemorefractory primary metastatic liver tumours. RE consists of intra‐arterially administering via catheter radioactive microspheres that locally attack the tumours, sparing healthy tissue. Prior to RE, standard practice conduct treatment‐mimicking pretreatment assessment infusion 99m Tc‐labelled macroaggregated albumin microparticles. The usefulness this has been debated in literature, thus, aim...

A multi-stage municipal wastewater treatment system is proposed to comply with Mexican standards for discharge into receiving water bodies. The located in Santa Fe de la Laguna, Mexico, an area a temperate climate. It was designed 2,700 people equivalent (259.2 m3/d) and consists of preliminary treatment, septic tank as well two modules operating parallel, each consisting horizontal subsurface-flow wetland, maturation pond vertical flow polishing wetland. After years operation, on-site...

Abstract Liver radioembolization is a promising treatment option for combating liver tumors. It performed by placing microcatheter in the hepatic artery and administering radiation‐emitting microspheres through arterial bloodstream so that they get lodged tumoral bed. In avoiding nontarget radiation, standard practice to conduct pretreatment, which location injection velocity are decided. However, between pretreatment actual treatment, some of parameters influence particle distribution can...
