Investigation of Speed Matching Affecting Contrarotating Fan’s Performance Using Wireless Sensor Network including Big Data and Numerical Simulation by Hengxuan Luan, Liyuan Weng, Ranhui Liu, Yuanzhong Luan, Dongmin Li

“…Under large flow rate condition, the power capability of rotor 2 became very weak; under working small flow rate condition, overloading would take place to class II motor. In order to solve the performance mismatch between two stages of CRF under nondesigned working conditions, under small flow rate condition, the priority shall be given to increase of the speed of rotor 1, while the speed of rotor 2 shall be reduced appropriately; under large flow rate condition, the speed of rotor 1 shall be reduced and the speed of rotor 2 shall be increased at the same time.…”

Case report: Suspected propofol associated Heinz body anemia in five mechanically ventilated dogs: a historical case series by Emily M. Ireland, Claire R. Sharp, Ellie M. Leister, Susan Boyd

“…ObjectiveThe aim of this report is to raise awareness of the risk of oxidant-induced erythrocyte injury, including Heinz body (HB) anemia, in critically ill dogs by describing the condition in five dogs receiving constant rate infusions of propofol.Case summaryThis case series describes five dogs with suspected propofol-induced HB anemia undergoing mechanical ventilation (MV) for lower motor neuron disease. Four of the five dogs were treated for tick paralysis (Ixodes holocyclus) and one was treated for suspected eastern brown snake (Pseudonaja textilis) envenomation. …”

Analysis of Connectivity in Electromyography Signals to Examine Neural Correlations in the Activation of Lower Leg Muscles for Postural Stability: A Pilot Study by Gordon Alderink, Diana McCrumb, David Zeitler, Samhita Rhodes

“…Results showed that connectivity in the beta and lower and upper gamma bands (30–100 Hz) was influenced by standing balance conditions and was indicative of a neural drive originating from the motor cortex. Instability was evaluated by comparing less stable standing conditions with a baseline—eyes open feet together stance. …”
