A comparison between direct numerical simulation and experiment of the turbulent burning velocity-related statistics in a turbulent methane-air premixed jet flame at high Karlovitz number

A three-dimensional (3D) direct numerical simulation (DNS) of an experimental turbulent premixed jet flame at high Karlovitz number was studied. The DNS resolution adequately resolves both the flame and turbulence structures. A reduced chemical mechanism for premixed CH4/air flames with NOx based on GRI-Mech3.0 was used, including 268 elementary reactions, and 28 transported species. Consistent po

A pre-LGM sandur at Fiskarheden in NW Dalarna, Sweden – sedimentology and glaciotectonic deformation.

The Fiskarheden quarry, situated in NW Dalarna, central Sweden, reveals thick coarse-grained sediments of Scott type facies association representing a sandur deposited in an ice-proximal proglacial environment. Optically Stimulated Luminescence (OSL) dating of the sandur sediments suggests a pre-Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) age. Most acquired ages are pre-Saalian (>200 ka) and we regard each of thes

Lund Concept for De-airing of the Left Heart. Clinical Evaluation.

Background: Residual air accumulated air in the pulmonary veins constitutes a challenge to achievment of complete de-airing in open left heart surgery. To adress this problem, a conceptual method for de-airing was developed in Lund comprising bilateral opening of the pleurae to induce pulmonary collapse and a strategy with gradual pulmonary reperfusion and ventilation at weaning from cardiopulmona

Platinum(IV) Bromo Aqua Complexes. Acid Hydrolysis Equilibria and Kinetics of Bromiide Anation

The stepwise stabililty constants, Kn for the bromo aqua complexes PtBrn−1(H2O)7−n5−n; n=4, 5, 6, formed in the successive acid hydrolyses of PtBr62−, have been determined to be K6=(.19±0.1) x 103 M−1, K5= (1.0±0.2) x 104 M−1 and K4=(1.1±0.2) x 105 M−1. A bromide assisted mechanism is proposed for the bromide anations of PtBr4(H2O)2 and PtBr5H2O-. Both these reactions are found to be first order wThe stepwise stabililty constants, Kn for the bromo aqua complexes PtBrn−1(H2O)7−n5−n; n=4, 5, 6, formed in the successive acid hydrolyses of PtBr62−, have been determined to be K6=(.19±0.1) x 103 M−1, K5= (1.0±0.2) x 104 M−1 and K4=(1.1±0.2) x 105 M−1.

A recent intermezzo at the Ribosome Club

Two sets of ribosome structures have recently led to two different interpretations of what limits the accuracy of codon translation by transfer RNAs. In this review, inspired by this intermezzo at the Ribosome Club, we briefly discuss accuracy amplification by energy driven proofreading and its implementation in genetic code translation. We further discuss general ways by which the monitoring base

Electroencephalography as a prognostic tool after cardiac arrest

Multiple prognostic tools are used to evaluate prognosis for comatose survivors resuscitated after cardiac arrest (CA). Next to the clinical neurologic examination, electroencephalography (EEG) is the most commonly used method to assess prognosis. However, the reliability of EEG has been limited by varying classification systems, interrater variability, and the influence of sedation. Another impor

Cytokine repertoire of epithelial cells lining the human urinary tract

PURPOSE: To examine the cytokine profile of epithelial cells lining the human urinary tract with the aim of differentiating between the constitutive and disease-related cytokine production in these tissues.MATERIALS AND METHODS: Sections from the renal pelvis, ureter, bladder or urethra were obtained from 22 patients undergoing urinary tract surgery and were stained with monoclonal antibodies to i

Impact of complexity on daily and multi-step forecasting of streamflow with chaotic, stochastic, and black-box models

Despite significant research advances achieved during the last decades, seemingly inconsistent forecasting results related to stochastic, chaotic, and black-box approaches have been reported. Herein, we attempt to address the entropy/complexity resulting from hydrological and climatological conditions. Accordingly, mutual information function, correlation dimension, averaged false nearest neighbor

Äldre medarbetares attityder till ett långt arbetsliv. : Skillnader mellan olika yrkesgrupper inom hälso- och sjukvården.

Individer lämnar och har alltid lämnat arbetslivet på grund av att åldern ”tar ut sin rätt”. Dock är det sannolikt inte ålderssvaghet som är den avgörande faktornför det stora flertalet som går i ålderspension idag. Troligtvis är det istället mångaolika faktorer som har betydelse för när en individ lämnar yrkeslivet för en nylivsfas som ålderspensionär, även om det biologiska åldrandets klocka ticIn the health and medicine care service there are employees from different kind of occupations who can and want to work until they are 65 years or older. There are also employees from different occupations who can not or do not want to work until they are 65 years old. This study includes answers from 1,949 employees in nine different occupations in health and medical care service. The aim of the
