The most common etiologies include diabetes, post-surgical and idiopathic. The most common symptoms are nausea, vomiting and epigastric pain. Gastroparesis is estimated to affect 4% of the population and symptomatology may range from little effect on daily activity to severe disability and frequent hospitalizations. The gold standard of diagnosis is solid meal gastric scintigraphy. Treatment is multimodal and includes dietary modification, prokinetic and anti-emetic medications, and surgical interventions. New advances in drug therapy, and gastric electrical stimulation techniques have been introduced and might provide new hope to patients with refractory gastroparesis. In this comprehensive review, we discuss gastroparesis with emphasis on the latest developments; from the perspective of the practicing clinician.展开更多

Due to severe volumetric and thermal constraints, the TLMs were at high risk of overheating. To predict the performance of the TLMs accurately, a multi-physics analysis approach was proposed. Specifically, it considered the coupling effects amongst the electromagnetic and the thermal models of the TLMs, as well as the fluid model of the surrounding air. To reduce computation cost, both the electromagnetic and the thermal models were based on lumped-parameter methods. Only a minimum set of numerical computation(computational fluid dynamics, CFD) was performed to model the complex fluid behavior. With the proposed approach, both steady state and transient state temperature distributions, thermal rating and permissible load can be predicted. The validity of this approach is verified through the experiment.展开更多

Correlation coefficients are obtained, through Statistic Package for Social Science (SPSS), for various charge voltages, which is based on the effect test of electrode contact approach speeds on discharge current parameters of current peaks, maximum rising slope and spark lengths. Discharge parameters at charge voltage 300V are independent on approach speed. For charge voltages equal to and higher than 500V, the contact approach speed has strong positive cor- relation with discharge parameters of the peak current and the maximum rising slope, whereas has strong negative correlation with the spark length.展开更多

Food production and processing of quality food and safe food are today of primary importance. Food production is based on the principles of Good Agricultural Practice (GAP), Good Manufactoring Practice (GMP) and Good Hygiene Practice (GHP). Recently, the industrial food processing is focused dominantly on the quality, and one of the basic requirements of the quality is the safety. There are different methods and techniques to produce safe food. The up-to-date food technologies and quality measurements (quality control and quality assurance) involve the application of different physical methods, e.g., high pressure, pulsing electrical field, nondestructive techniques, e.g., nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), near infrared reflectance, near infrared transmittance (NIR-NIT), photo acoustic spectroscopy (PAS) and instrumental neutron activation analysis (INAA) for chemical composition determination, radiation techniques, nanofiltration and reverse osmosis (RO) as well. Using ionizing radiation (nuclear methods) and non-ionizing radiation technologies, it is possible to fulfill a lot of expectations: decrease of microbial contamination, improve of sensory properties, increase of storability, etc..展开更多

An electrochemical approach was made to recover the nickel and remove the organic pollutants from the spent electroless nickelplating bath. An electrolyte cell which was constructed by the cathode of porous nickel foam and the anode of Ti/RuO2 was used. During electrolysis, the nickel ion was electrodeposited at the cathode and the oxidation of the organics in the hath was conducted at the anode. The current (i) , time (t) , temperature (T) and pH of the solution affected the recovery efficiency of nickel with constant potential electrolysis. With the optimum experimental conditions of pH=7.6, i = 0.45 A. T = 65℃ andt = 2 h, the concentration of nickel ion was reduced from 2.09 g/L to 0. 053 g/L and the recovery rate of nickel, the current efficiency and the consumed energy wer 97.5%, 17. 1%, 12.2 kWh/kg Ni, respectively. Meanwhile, total organic carbon (TOC) of the bath was reduced from 5 800 mg/L to 152.5 mg/L and the removal efficiency of TOC was 97.3%. The recovery rate of nickel could keep to about 97% when eleetrodeposit was used to recover nickel for 40 hours in a laboratol.w batch reactor containing the spent bath. Dull nickel containing phosphorus was obtained on the cathode.展开更多

However, the spatial distribution characteristics of fissures in the slope are difficult to be determined. In this study, we attempted to characterize the variation pattern of slope fissures along depth in the Wenchuan earthquake area in Sichuan Province by combining engineering geological investigation, geomorphologic analysis and geophysical investigation. The geophysical methods that were used in this study include Multichannel Analysis of Surface Wave(MASW), Ground Penetrating Radar(GPR) and Electrical Resistivity Tomography(ERT). The results suggested that geophysical parameters(shear wave velocity, electromagnetic signals attenuation and resistivity) could provide valuable information for the spatial network of shallow fissures. Through the verification by engineering geological survey and geophysical sensitivity analysis, this work highlighted that MASW was the most appropriate technique to delineate the propagation of shallow fissures in a gravel soil slope.展开更多

By using numerical simulation methods in ANSYS software, the structure parameters were firstly compared, and then three-dimensional models of electric-magnetic-flow field were built and solved with finite element method(FEM). The comparison of the structures reveals that the cell bodies are similar while the current flow path and distribution ratio of bus bars are different. It appears that most of the current(70%-80%) in side A are used as the magnetic field compensation current and flow through two ends. The numerical simulation results indicate that the distributions of magnetic fields are different but all satisfy with the magnetohydrodynamics(MHD) stabilization, and the flow patterns are all two or multi vortexes with appropriate velocities. The comparison shows that all studied cells can satisfy with the physical field requirement, and the commercial applications also verify that the 400 kA cells have become the product of the mature and world's leading technology.展开更多

Raw rice husk ash material and zeolitic products were characterized in terms of specific surface area (BET method), morphological analysis (SEM), mineralogical composition (XRD) and CEC (cation exchange capacity). LOI (Loss of ignition) of rice husk ash was also evaluated. Result indicated that the rice husk ash sample from Roi-Et Green power plant in the Northeastern of Thailand with combustion temperature of 650 ℃ has a high content of SiO2 (above 90 wt.%). Zeolite-X from rice husk ash with high content of Si was successfully synthesized using hydrothermal treatment. The zeolitic material synthesized with the optimal condition possessed a maximum value of CEC of 503 meq/100g, and it has potentiality to be used as ion exchangers.展开更多

Sulfur in coal is one of the responsibilities of these negative effects. Coal includes two types of sulfur: organic and inorganic. While inorganic sulfur can be completely removed with physical desulfurization methods, organic sulfur can be removed only by chemical desulfurization methods. But chemical methods are not only expensive but also difficult processes. Firstly in desulfurization, types of the sulfur content in coal should be well characterized. High sulfur Gediz-Turkey coal has been chosen to this study. This coal basin is located in the centre of the Turkey. In this study, characterization and desulfurization possibilities of high sulfur Gediz coal were investigated. For this purpose, several physical and chemical characterization methods such as proximate and ultimate coal analysis (ash, calorific value, volatile matter, moisture and sulfur analysis), mineralogical and petrographic analysis, fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscope were used. Results of these analysis are shown that Gediz coals include 3.15% pyritic sulfur and 2.89% organic sulfur. Removing pyritic sulfur from Gediz-Turkey coal with physical methods such as gravity and sink-float separation is not possible because pyrite particle has 1-2 micron liberation size in coal.展开更多

Polymerization was initiated by a free radical that was formed by the fast reaction of oxalic acid and Ce (IV). The electrolysis of the reaction solution resulted in regeneration of Ce (IV), which could oxidize oxalic acid to produce radicals. The effect of temperature on the yield of electroinitiated polymerization was performed. The potential sweep rates were changed to achieve the polymer film with different thickness. Protective properties of the PAM film for corrosion of mild steel in 1 M NaCI aqueous solution were investigated by potentiodynamic polarization curves and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). The structure of PAM film on mild steel was investigated by using physicochemical methods such as elemental analysis of C, H, N, physical chemical methods and FTIR spectrometer. The influence of scan repetition and scan rate on the formation of polymer film was studied at a current density of 1 mA/cm2. The results of these studies reveal that the corrosion resistance of the PAM-coated mild steel was significantly higher and the corrosion rate was considerably lower than that of uncoated steel. The PAM film was formed with lower sweep rate leading to more positive shift of corrosion potential and greater charge transfer resistance, reflecting higher inhibition for corrosion of the mild steel.展开更多
