Use of prototype bi‐nasal prongs for noninvasive ventilation in foals by Sharanne L. Raidal, Michael vanDiggelen, Chee Sum M. Catanchin, Heidi S. Lehmann, Chris T. Quinn

“…Methods In a randomized cross‐over study, sedated foals received NIV delivered by mask or bi‐nasal prongs, with the treatment repeated using the alternative device interface after a 3‐day rest period. After periods of spontaneous ventilation through the allocated interface, with and without supplementary O2 (T2‐T3), foals were subject to 10‐minute treatment periods of NIV at different pressure support (5 or 10 cmH2O) and end‐expiratory pressure settings (5 or 10 cmH2O), with and without supplementary O2 (T4‐T7). …”

Experimental Investigation on Microstructure and Mechanical Properties of Friction Welded Dissimilar Alloys by Arun Negemiya Arulsamy, Gnanasekaran S, Bakkiyaraj Murugesan, Samson Jerold Samuel Chelladurai, Mohanraj Kishnan Selvaraj, Vijayakumar Palanivel, Gizachew Balcha

“…To assess the structural integrity of the joints, a detailed microstructural investigation, SEM-EDS, and XRD were performed at their interfaces. Mechanical properties were revealed to be high at 1300 RPM due to the small grain size at the interface region; ultimate tensile strength and hardness were determined to be 571 MPa and 423 HV, respectively, due to the small grain size at the interface region. …”

Does order matter? Investigating the effect of sequence on glance duration during on-road driving. by Joonbum Lee, Shannon C Roberts, Bryan Reimer, Bruce Mehler

“…Results showed that across both tasks and a variety of statistical tests, glance sequence had inconsistent effects on glance duration-the effects varied according to the number of glances, task type, and data set that was being evaluated. Results suggest that other aspects of the task as well as interface design effect glance duration and should be considered in the context of examining driver attention or lack thereof. …”
