Evaluation of Pigeon Pea Lines for Biological Soil Decompaction by Rodolfo Godoy, Osny Oliveira Santos Bacchi, Fernando Almeida Moreira, Klaus Reichardt

“…Soil decompaction is generally achieved through mechanical cultivation practices; however biological processes can significantly add to this process through root growth, development, and later senescence. This study was carried out in Piracicaba, SP, Brazil and had the purpose of selecting, among forty one pure pigeon pea lines, the most efficient genotypes that promote soil decompaction by roots penetrating compacted soil layers. …”

Mixing Rules Formulation for a Kinetic Model of the Langmuir-Hinshelwood Semipredictive Type Applied to the Heterogeneous Photocatalytic Degradation of Multicomponent Mixtures by John Wilman Rodriguez-Acosta, Miguel Ángel Mueses, Fiderman Machuca-Martínez

“…The kinetic expressions were expressed in terms of the effective concentration of total organic carbon (xTOC). An expression was obtained in a generalized form which is a function of the mixing rules as a product of a global contribution of the reaction rate constant k′ and a mixing function fC. …”

Relationship between Particle Size Distribution of Low-Rank Pulverized Coal and Power Plant Performance by Rajive Ganguli, Sukumar Bandopadhyay

“…Performance was gauged through efficiency (ratio of megawatt generated to energy consumed as coal), emissions (SO2, NOx, CO), and carbon content of ash (fly ash and bottom ash). The study revealed that the tested coal could be burned at a grind as coarse as 50% passing 76 microns, with no deleterious impact on power generation and emissions. …”

Lungs in Heart Failure by Anna Apostolo, Giuliano Giusti, Paola Gargiulo, Maurizio Bussotti, Piergiuseppe Agostoni

“…During exercise, hyperventilation and consequent reduction of ventilation efficiency are often observed in heart failure patients, resulting in an increased slope of ventilation/carbon dioxide (VE/VCO2) relationship. Ventilatory efficiency is as strong prognostic and an important stratification marker. …”

Mechanical Ventilation during Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation in Patients with Acute Severe Respiratory Failure by Zhongheng Zhang, Wan-Jie Gu, Kun Chen, Hongying Ni

“…During the running of ECMO, the protective ventilation strategy can be employed without worrying about catastrophic hypoxemia and carbon dioxide retention. There is a large body of evidence showing that protective ventilation with low tidal volume, high positive end-expiratory pressure, and prone positioning can provide benefits on mortality outcome. …”
