A series of experimental measurements on a prototype premixed swirl burner with complex geometry were carried out using CH2O/OH-PLIF. FGM method(SFGM)taking account of strain rate was developed to study two modes of premixed swirl flame, one stabilized and the other close to blown-off flame under the same Reynolds number(Re=10000). The SFGM model in this work is related to a reaction factor, which
In this paper, the flame-wall interaction of reacting diesel spray under engine like conditions is investigated using large eddy simulations. The aim of this study is to understand the influence of the distance between the wall and the spray nozzle on the air entrainment rate, which is a key variable in formation/oxidation process of soot. Three experimental cases are investigated, a free jet case
Popular Abstract in Swedish Studiens övergripande mål är att beskriva olika användningar « seul » och « seulement », och att förklara dessa användningar inom en generativ ram. Efter första kapitlets introduktion presenteras ett antal tidigare studier i det andra och tredje kapitlet. Fjärde kapitlet redovisar ett empiriskt material med exempel på seul och seulement, tagna från dagspressen. Den empiThe overall aim of this study is to describe a number of different uses of the French "seul" and "seulement", and to account for the observed differences within a generative framework. After an introductory chapter, chapters two and three present a survey of earlier studies. The fourth chapter concerns an empirical study of authentic occurrences of "seul" and seulement", drawn from the press. The
The aim of this study was to examine the effects of risedronate (5 mg/daily) in patients identified solely on the basis of a prior fragility fracture, without BMD as an inclusion criterion. A total of 1,802 patients were examined from the VERT-NA and VERT-MN clinical trials. Lateral radiographs (T4 to L4) were obtained at baseline and annually; incident fractures were evaluated using quantitative
Large eddy simulation of diesel spray in a constant volume vessel as well as in an internal combustion engine has been performed. Spray is modeled using Eulerian-Lagrangian approach. The modeling involves primary and secondary break-up, the spray-induced turbulence (SIT) and the stochastic turbulence dispersion (STD) of parcels. Including SIT, based on Baharawaj et al. (2009), in coarse grids, e.g
Abstract in UndeterminedTemperature and relative O-2-concentrations have been measured using pure rotational coherent anti-Stokes Raman spectroscopy (RCARS) in a low swirl turbulent premixed flame. This lean flame burning methane has previously been investigated using laser diagnostic techniques and numerical modeling of flame characteristics. In the present work, single-shot RCARS measurements we
Purpose: To investigate the outcome following adjuvant doxorubicin and ifosfamide in a prospective non-randomised study based on a soft tissue sarcoma (STS) patient subgroup defined by specific morphological characteristics previously shown to be at a high-risk of metastatic relapse. The expected 5-year cumulative incidence of metastases in patients with this risk profile has previously been repor
In partially premixed combustion engines high octane number fuels are injected into the cylinder during the late part of the compression cycle, giving the fuel and oxidizer enough time to mix into a desirable stratified mixture. If ignited by auto-ignition such a gas composition can react in a combustion mode dominated by ignition wave propagation. 3D-CFD modeling of such a combustion mode is chal
The effects of the position of a bluff-body on diffusion flame structures and flame instability characteristics were investigated both experimentally and numerically. The flame pattern diagram and the stability limits of the methane-air diffusion flame were investigated to evaluate the effects caused by the alternation of the position of a bluff-body. A disk-shape bluff-body was mounted 10 mm abov
Irradiating a flame by microwave radiation is one of several plasma-assisted combustion (PAC) technologies that can be used to modify the combustion chemical kinetics in order to improve flame-stability and to delay lean blow-out. One practical implication is that engines may be able to operate with leaner fuel mixtures and have an improved fuel flexibility capability including biofuels. In additi
Objective: In lymphedema management, lower limb volume is commonly assessed by circumference measurementevery 4th cm which is however time-consuming. The aim of this study is to evaluate the agreement between volumemeasurements derived from circumference measurements every 4th cm (V4) with every 8th cm (V8) and every 12th cm(V12) in patients with lower limb lymphedema (LLL) and to determine the te
BACKGROUND: National quality registries (NQRs) provide open data for user-directed acquisition. National Quality Registry (NQR) data are often used to analyze the rates of treatment success and adverse events for studies that aim to improve treatment quality and patient satisfaction. Thus, NQRs promote the goal of achieving evidence-based therapies. However, the scientific literature seldom focuse
Protease inhibitors and protease (caseinolytic, elastinolytic and esterolytic) activity were analysed in 190 milk samples from 94 mothers from day 1 to day 160 after delivery The main protease inhibitors in human milk are α1-antichymotrypsin and α1-antitrypsin. As measured by electroimmunoassay, the level of α1-antichy-motrypsin in day 1 colostrum was higher than that in normal serum. Trace amount
Fundamental characteristics of the reaction-zone structure for CH4-CO2 jets, mimicking a fuel of high CO2 contents such as biogas, burning in a heated coflow on a piloted jet burner have been investigated. Jet flames under diffusion and MILD combustion conditions were studied using planar laser-induced fluorescence (PLIF) of O-atom radicals and CO for different CO2 contents of the fuel jet. Numeri
Combining historical climatology and environmental history, this article examines the diverse range of strategies deployed by the city government of Barcelona (Catalonia, NE Spain) to confront the recurrent drought episodes experienced between 1626 and 1650. Our reconstruction of drought in Barcelona for the period 1525-1821, based on pro pluvia rogations as documentary proxy data, identifies the
