In Brief Background and Objectives: Greater trochanteric (GT) bursitis is a common cause of hip pain. Previously, the etiology pain syndrome was thought to be caused by inflammation subgluteus maximus bursa (i.e., bursitis). Recently, MRI ultrasound studies have brought into serious doubt idea that for To our knowledge, no histologic study GT has been reported date. The purpose this evaluate histopathology patients with without clinical assess presence bursal inflammation. Design Methods:...

The optimal design and operation of static polygeneration systems using coal biomass to coproduce power, liquid fuels chemicals is studied under different economic policy scenarios. A mathematical model including material energy balances, capital cost estimations, analyses proposed. Optimal product portfolios are obtained price influence carbon tax policies on the production strategy, such as implementation capture sequestration (CCS) or usage, also discussed.

This work is a meta-study of CO2 capture processes for coal and natural gas power generation, including technologies such as post-combustion solvent-based carbon capture, the integrated gasification combined cycle process, oxyfuel combustion, membrane-based processes, solid oxide fuel cells. A literature survey recent techno-economic studies was conducted, compiling relevant data on costs, efficiencies, other performance metrics. The were then converted in consistent fashion to common...

In this study, cradle-to-product life cycle analyses were conducted for a variety of natural-gas-based and coal-based SOFC power plant conceptual designs, while also accounting long-term degradation. For each type plant, four base case designs considered: standalone with steam cycle, an SOFC/GT hybrid cycle. The boundary was subsequently expanded to include either wet cooling or dry options DC AC conversion, subjected additional analyses. environmental impact results computed using ReCiPe...

Abstract A zero‐emissions power plant with high efficiency is presented. Syngas, produced by the gasification of coal, shifted to produce H 2 which in turn fuels stacks solid oxide fuel cells. Because cells maintain separate anode and cathode streams, air can be used as oxygen source without diluting exhaust nitrogen. This enables recovery CO from a very small energy penalty. As result, an absorption‐based process avoided, well production large quantities high‐purity O , allowing overall...

In the peritoneal cavity, omentum contains fat-associated lymphoid clusters (FALCs) whose role in response to infection is poorly understood. After intraperitoneal immunization with Toxoplasma gondii , conventional type 1 dendritic cells (cDC1s) were critical induce innate sources of IFN-γ and cellular changes FALCs. Unexpectedly, infected macrophages that migrated into FALCs primed CD8 + T cells. Although cell priming was cDC1 independent, these DCs required for maximal expansion. An...
