Lung surgery is one of the youngest departments of surgical science. The basis for the development of methods of operative intervention in pulmonary diseases lies in the 1st possibility of preventing the danger of pneumothorax, which (danger) is currently so insignificant that some surgeons consider it even necessary to cause preliminary pneumothorax. On the other hand, the experimental data have shown the possibility of the loss of parts of the lung tissue and the conditions for the healing of its wounds.

This experiment aims to produce a free radical while annoying the oxidizing-reducing reagent of the ammonium persulfate and the sodium bisulfite under nitrogen, then trigger copolymerization between modified-mica and chitosan to prepare a variety of copolymers. This experiment also aims to study the related properties of these copolymer materials. The experimental data shows that the copolymer has more thermal stability and better absorption of UV than chitosan. But the above physical properties will be less if the mica ratio in copolymer is more than 8%. On the other hand, the SEM photo of the microstructure also shows that the modified mica distributes homogeneously on the surface of the film of the copolymer.

Organophosphorus (OP) compounds are used as both chemical weapons and pesticides. However, these agents are very dangerous and toxic to humans, animals, and the environment. Thus, investigations with reactivators have been deeply developed in order to design new antidotes with better efficiency, as well as a greater spectrum of action in the acetylcholinesterase (AChE) reactivation process. With that in mind, in this work, we investigated the behavior of trimedoxime toward the Mus musculus acetylcholinesterase (MmAChE) inhibited by a range of nerve agents, such as chemical weapons. From experimental assays, reactivation percentages were obtained for the reactivation of different AChE–OP complexes. On the other hand, theoretical calculations were performed to assess the differences in interaction modes and the reactivity of trimedoxime within the AChE active site. Comparing theoretical and experimental data, it is possible to notice that the oxime, in most cases, showed better reactivation percentages at higher concentrations, with the best result for the reactivation of the AChE–VX adduct. From this work, it was revealed that the mechanistic process contributes most to the oxime efficiency than the interaction in the site. In this way, this study is important to better understand the reactivation process through trimedoxime, contributing to the proposal of novel antidotes.

Abstract The experimental data collected on the interaction of active centers of carbon black with the rubber on the one hand and of the active centers of carbon black with the sulfur and accelerators, and also with the antioxidants, on the other hand, provide a sound basis for belief that the problem of reinforcement of rubber by active fillers in the process of vulcanization cannot be explained from the physical aspect alone. The facts indicate the considerable importance of the chemical reactions between the active groups of carbon black and the compounding ingredients in the course of vulcanization.

According to the Lefebvre's model and flame volume (FV) concept, an FV model about lean blow-out (LBO) was proposed by authors in early study. On the other hand, due to the model parameter (FV) contained in FV model is obtained based on the experimental data, FV model could only be used in LBO analysis instead of prediction. In view of this, a hybrid FV model is proposed that combines the FV model with numerical simulation in the present study. The model parameters contained in the FV model are all estimated from the simulated nonreacting flows. Comparing with the experimental data for 11 combustors, the maximum and average uncertainties of hybrid FV model are ±16% and ±10%.

AbstractWe recently identified a motif for dynamical compensation (DC) – a property where a system maintains the dynamics and steady-state of a regulated variable robust in the face of fluctuations in key parameters. Such parameters are therefore unidentifiable from measurements of the regulated variable at steady-state. On the other hand, since the models showing dynamical compensation are typically non-redundant, their parameters are identifiable from experimental data. We clarify this apparent discrepancy by requiring that the parameters of DC circuits be identifiable both away from steady-state and when measuring other system variables. We use this observation to provide a definition for DC in terms of parameter identifiability and discuss its relevance for the examples provided in Karin et al.

Among the various experimental data which are required in the discussion of the theory and design of the aeroplane, there are none of greater importance than those relating to surface friction, while at the same time there are none about which greater uncertainty prevails.Owing to the difficulty of separating skin friction from head resistance, very little can be learnt from observations on actual machines in flight, while on the other hand, if we turn to laboratory experiments on the resistance of planes, we are met with the most bewildering variations in the values obtained for it. Many of the most careful experimenters make out that it is quite inappreciable while others maintain that it is from 1—4 per cent. of the normal pressure, and therefore forms an important part of the drift at small angles of attack.

When discrete multiple flaws are in the same plane, and they are close to each other, it can be determined whether they are combined or standalone in accordance with combination rules provided by fitness-for-service (FFS) codes, such as ASME, JSME, BS7910, FKM, WES2805, etc. However, specific criteria of the rules are different amongst these FFS codes. On the other hand, plastic collapse bending stresses for stainless steel pipes with circumferential twin flaws were obtained by experiments and the prediction procedure for collapse stresses for pipes with twin flaws were developed analytically. Using the experimental data and the analytical procedure, plastic collapse stresses for pipes with twin flaws are compared with the stresses in compliance with the combination criteria. It is shown that the calculated plastic collapse stresses based on the combination criteria are significantly different from the experimental and analytical stresses.

Abstract A conclusion to be drawn from this analysis of the load dependence of side force and self-aligning torque of pneumatic tires is that agreement between experimental and theoretical side force curves does not necessarily prove the soundness of the theory. On the other hand, even an inadequate theory is successful in suggesting a predictable and useful interrelation between load and slip dependence of the side force. Figure 4 demonstrates that quite a primitive transform of experimental data can lead to a unified presentation of its load and slip dependence although the resulting curve deviates quantitatively from theory in this particular case. This work forms part of a program of research undertaken by the Natural Rubber Producers' Research Association.

Abstract The article collates guidelines concerning experimental construction of the S-N fatigue curves within a limited fatigue life range. An attempt is made to compare these guidelines, based on experimental data recorded during rotating bending of a notched specimen made of 42CrMo4. The recorded differences in fatigue life values between the constructed curves reach the maximum of 12.2%. According to the above guidelines, the number of tests in particular test series varies from 6 to 28. Based on the performed analysis a conclusion was made that the increase in the number of tests leads to the increase of accuracy but, on the other hand, remarkably increases the time of the experiment and, consequently, its cost. In this context, it is the research worker who, taking into account a possible future use of the fatigue curve, should individually decide about its accuracy.

A misalignment rotor-bearing systems is studied as an object. Comparing two kinds of vibration characteristics of 0 torque excitation and linear torque excitation. The experimental data are analyzed by FFT and wavelet. Conclusion is obtained. Certain torque excitation can control oil whirl to a certain extent. On the other hand, linear torque excitation can increase degree of misalignment.
