Why Current Doppler Ultrasound Methodology Is Inaccurate in Assessing Cerebral Venous Return: The Alternative of the Ultrasonic Jugular Venous Pulse by Paolo Zamboni

“…However, also the quantification protocols lacked of the necessary accuracy. The reasons are as follows: (a) automatic measurement of the CSA assimilates the jugular to a circle, while it is elliptical; (b) the use of just a single CSA value in a pulsatile vessel is inaccurate; (c) time average velocity assessment can be applied only in laminar flow. …”

Staminate Flower of Cocos Nucifera as Green Inhibitor for Mild Steel in HCl Medium by R. Rajalakshmi, A. S. Safina

“…Corrosion control methods, especially the use of inhibitors, have gained monumental importance in the present scenario of expunging corrosion and the quest for eco-friendly reasons continues. To arrive at an inexpensive non-toxic, eco-friendly inhibitor formulations the present study on the use of Staminate Flower extract of Cocos Nucifera has been carried out by the classical weight loss measurements and electrochemical polarization measurements. …”

Mathematical Model of Solid Food Pasteurization by Ohmic Heating: Influence of Process Parameters by Francesco Marra

“…The current model predicts that, when temperature gradients are established in the proximity of the outer ohmic cell surface, more cold areas are present at junctions of electrodes with lateral sample surface. For these reasons, colder external shells are the critical areas to be monitored, instead of internal points (typically geometrical center) as in classical pure conductive heat transfer. …”

Joint Operation of Reservoir Group in Longxi River Basin Considering Agricultural Water Demand by CHEN Si, XU Wei, ZHAO Siqi, YIN Shiming, YANG Yi

“…Water resources in small- and medium-sized basins are often not reasonably allocated,and the utilization rate of water resources is not high.In this paper,five reservoirs in the Longxi River Basin are taken as an example.Firstly,the hydrological model is constructed,and the parameters of the model are calibrated and verified by the 12-year measured runoff of Liujiantan Hydrological Station.The NSE can reach 0.89,the R² is 0.87,and the relative error (RE) is 5.4 %.The inflow process to the reservoir interval is obtained.Secondly,three representative crops of corn,rice,and sweet potato in the basin are selected to construct the reservoir irrigation water demand model.The crop coefficient method and Penman-Monteith formula are adopted to calculate the crop water demand and the USDA-SCS method was used to calculate the effective precipitation.Finally,the joint and single reservoir operation models of the Longxihe reservoir group to maximize the comprehensive water supply and power generation are built,and the POA solution and fuzzy analytic hierarchy process are utilized to optimize the scheme.The results show that the joint operation is more capable to balance the distribution of water resources between upstream and downstream reservoirs,improve the power generation efficiency and water supply guarantee rate,and reduce the amount of abandoned water than the single reservoir operation.…”
