Features of Hydrogen-Enriched Methane–Air Flames Propagating in Hele-Shaw Channels by Sergey Yakush, Sergey Rashkovskiy, Maxim Alexeev, Oleg Semenov

“…Methane–hydrogen–air mixtures with the hydrogen relative contents of 0%, 25%, and 50% and global equivalence ratio of unity were ignited by a spark near the closed narrow end of the channel. Experiments were performed with the gap width of 3.5 mm; video recordings were processed in order to determine the quantitative features of the flame front propagation (leading and trailing point coordinate, coordinates of the cusps, cell sizes and shapes). …”

Infant of a diabetic mother: clinical presentation, diagnosis and treatment by Magdalena Suda-Całus, Katarzyna Dąbrowska, Ewa Gulczyńska

“…Infants of diabetic mothers (IDMs) because of mother’s diabetes are prone to developing complications and the most common include: large birth weight and complications resulting from it (i.e. birth injuries, perinatal asphyxia), cardiovascular and respiratory insufficiency (poor tolerance of labor stress), neonatal hypoglycemia and it’s complications, delayed lung maturity (fetal hyperinsulinism and the opposite function of insulin to cortisol), cardiomegaly and hypertrophy of the intraventricular septum (functional narrowing of the outflow of the left ventricle and cardiac failure), congenital malformations (most often of the central nervous system and heart). …”

Enhanced Visible Light Photocatalytic Activity for TiO2 Nanotube Array Films by Codoping with Tungsten and Nitrogen by Min Zhang, Juan Wu, DanDan Lu, Jianjun Yang

“…The mechanism of the enhanced photocatalytic activity could be attributed to (i) increasing number of hydroxyl groups on the surface of TNAs after the hydrothermal treatment, (ii) a strong W-N synergistic interaction leads to produce new states, narrow the band gap which decrease the recombination effectively, and then greatly increase the visible light absorption and photocatalytic activity; (iii) W ions with changing valences in all codoped samples which are considered to act as trapping sites, effectively decrease the recombination rate of electrons and holes, and improve the photocatalytic activity.…”
