Management of Exercise-Induced Bronchoconstriction by Mark D Inman

“…Frequently, despite optimal management of the underlying asthma, patients develop EIB symptoms requiring additional treatment. Short and long acting inhaled beta2-agonists are highly effective at reducing the magnitude of EIB, although there are concerns that the extent of protection diminishes during periods of regular use of these agents. …”

Assessment of the Stability of an Unlined Rectangular Tunnel with an Overload on the Ground Surface by Jian Zhang, Zhibin Hang, Tugen Feng, Feng Yang

“…This paper uses upper-bound finite element methods to assess the stability of an unlined rectangular tunnel in cohesive-frictional soils with an overload acting on the ground surface. A complete set of dimensionless parameters covering the tunnel size and shallow tunnel depth and Mohr-Coulomb material parameters are determined to obtain the dimensionless overload. …”

Sound Radiation Analysis of a Front Side Window Glass of DrivAer Model under Wind Excitation by Yinzhi He, Zihao Shi, Yu Wu, Zhigang Yang

“…Then working as excitation, the Corcos model was applied to calculate the power spectrum density of the turbulence pressure fluctuations acting on the side glass. Subsequently, the finite element modal superposition method was used to solve the vibroacoustic coupling equation to get the noise level of the driver’s ear position in the vehicle interior. …”

Effects of Volute Design and Number of Impeller Blades on Lateral Impeller Forces and Hydraulic Performance by Daniel O. Baun, Ronald D. Flack

“…In addition to supporting and controlling the rotor motion, the magnetic bearings also served as active load cells and were used to measure the impeller forces acting on the pump's rotor. The lateral impeller force characteristics, as a function of a normalized flow coefficient, were virtually identical in the four- and five-vane impellers in each respective volute type. …”

Reversible Electrochemical Insertion of Lithium in Fine Grained Polycrystalline Powders of SnO2 by S. D. Han, S. Y. Huang, G. Campet, S. H. Pulcinnelli, C. V. Santilli

“…Indeed, by minimizing the size of the crystallites, the formation of defect-bonds is favored, particularly at the crystallite surface, acting as reversible (de)grafting sites of Li+. Finally, an easy-to-carry out method to determine the chemical diffusion coefficient of lithium has been proposed.…”

Sino-noir of Serial Killers and Dismemberments by Sheng-mei Ma

“…In the 8-episode TV series, Why Try to Change Me Now, director Zhang Dalei adapts Shuang’s novella told from multiple perspectives into a tour de force in slow cinema, drawing from cinema verité with non-professional actors, natural lighting and sound, an almost stationary camera, and minimalist acting. The argument then concludes with the 16-episode TV series Who Is the Murderer capitalizing on the triple entendre of “ba” for the father, the hegemon/bully, and the end. …”
