COMBINED EFFECTS OF VENTILATION MODE AND POSITIVE END-EXPIRATORY PRESSURE ON MECHANICS, GAS EXCHANGE AND THE EPITHELIUM IN MICE WITH ACUTE LUNG INJURY.

The accepted protocol to ventilate patients with acute lung injury is to use low tidal volume (V(T)) in combination with recruitment maneuvers or positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP).However, an important aspect of mechanical ventilation has not been considered: the combined effects of PEEP and ventilation modes on the integrity of the epitheliu

The classical Godunov method is widely used for the numerical study of waves in continuous media.If the Courant condition is satisfied, the Godunov scheme is stable and monotonous.However, due to its first order of accuracy it can lead to ICON WELDER rather large smearing of jumps, contact discontinuities, and other features of the solution in the

Industrial automation of the production process is based on the fusion of a CNC machine and an industrial robot.The industry of today requires skilled professionals and educators.Special attention is to be paid to the testing of the components and system operation and the maintenance of the system.Robots and automation are omnipresent nowadays and

The need for control of the elastic properties of architected materials has been accentuated due to the advances in modelling and characterization.Among the plethora of unconventional mechanical responses, controlled anisotropy and auxeticity have been promulgated as a new avenue in bioengineering Half-Life Pins applications.This paper aims to deli

We propose a novel metal artifact reduction (MAR) algorithm for CT Nail Care Kit images that completes a corrupted sinogram along the metal trace region.When metal implants are located inside a field of view, they create a barrier to the transmitted X-ray beam due to the high attenuation of metals, which significantly degrades the image quality.To
