Experimental Evaluation of Sulfur Dioxide Absorption in Water Using Structured Packing by Rosa-Hilda Chavez, Nicolas Flores-Alamo, Javier de J. Guadarrama

“…An experimental study of hydrodynamic and mass transfer processes was carried out in an absorption column of 0.252 m diameter and 3.5 m of packed bed height developed by Mexican National Institute of Nuclear Research (ININ by its acronym in Spanish) of stainless steel gauze corrugated sheet packing by means of SO2-air-water systems. The experiments results include pressure drop, flows capacity, liquid hold-up, SO2 composition, and global mass transfer coefficient and mass transfer unit height by mass transfer generalized performance model in order to know the relationship between two-phase countercurrent flow and the geometry of packed bed. …”

Occupational therapy’s oversight: How science veiled our humanity by Heleen Reid, Clare Hocking, Elizabeth Smythe

“…Background Occupational therapy’s connection to positivist science predates the profession’s formal beginning, with important contributing knowledge sources coming from mathematics, physics, psychology, and systems theory. While these sources of objective knowledge provide a rational, defendable position for practice, they can only explain a portion of what it means to exist as an occupational being.Aims/Objectives This article aims to reveal some of the history of science within occupational therapy and reveal the subjective, ontological nature of doing everyday activities that the profession’s preoccupation with positivist science has obscured.Methods This research used a history of ideas methodology to uncover how occupational therapy perceived people and how practice was conceptualised and conducted between 1800 and 1980s, as depicted in writing of the time.Conclusion Analysis showed that, through history, people were increasingly categorised and delimited. …”
