However, the standard PaO2 value in obese patients in the supine position is unknown. We evaluated the PaO2 with respect to the Broca-Katsura obesity index. Materials and Methods: From January 2001 to December 2013, we evaluated 472 patients aged ≥16 years old that underwent general anesthesia in the supine position. The anesthetic charts of 472 patients with an American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status of I or II were retrospectively reviewed to investigate the PaO2. Results: In patients aged 16 to 2 was 165.7 ± 25.6 mmHg at a Broca-Katsura index of 2 was 152.1 ± 23.8 mmHg at a Broca-Katsura index of 2 tended to decrease with age from 16 to 2 tended to decrease with age from 16 to <65 years at a Broca-Katsura index of 20% to <40%.展开更多

Based on the recent estimations on the YO1.5-CeO2, ZrO2-CeO2 and ZrO2 -YO1.6 systems, isothermal sections at 1273 and 1 973 K of the ternary CeO2- ZrO2-YO1.5system are calculated. In the system of ZrO2-CeO2-Ce2O3, the complex relation between the nonstoichiometry （y） in CeO2-x, the composition of the ZrO2 -CeO2 solid solution and the oxygen partial pressure （Po2 ） for different ZrO2 containing solid solutions CexZr1-xO2-x. are evaluated from 1 473 to 1 773 K. The relation between the degree of Ce^＋4 reduction to Ce.3 under different Po2 in the fluorite CeO2-xy and CexZr1-xOz-x solid solutions at different temperatures can be used as a guide in the development of functional ceramics.展开更多

In a steam atmosphere, it was assessed that UO2 would not be fully oxidized into U3O8 due to the relatively lower oxygen partial pressure, while UO2 will be fully oxidized into U3O8 in an air atmosphere. In an air and steam mixture atmosphere, the UO2 oxidation was dominantly affected by the air volumetric fraction, because of the relatively higher oxygen partial pressure of air. In addition, the effect of H2 volumetric fraction on the oxygen partial pressure under a mixture atmosphere was calculated, and it was revealed that UO2 pellet oxidation could be reduced above the critical value of H2 volumetric fraction.展开更多

The equilibrated phases and their compositions of the quenched samples were analyzed by using SEM/EPMA （Scanning Electron Microscope/Electron Probe Micro Analysis） and XRD （X Ray Diffraction）. The phase equilibrium results include two cases, the two phase coexistence and the three-phase coexistence in the high Al2O3 region with oxygen partial pressure of either 10.13 Pa or 1.01 × 10^-3 Pa. Effects of oxygen partial pressure and temperature on the liquidus along the primary phase fields of CaO · Al2O3 and CaO · 2Al2O3 were nota hle. With the decrease of oxygen partial pressure, the liquid area expands and the liquidus of CaO · Al2O3 and CaO · 2Al2O3 primary fields moves to the Al2O3-FeOx region. On the other hand, the liquid area of CaO Al2O3-FeOx sys tem extends extremely to the high Al2O3 region with the temperature increasing from 1 400 to 1 500℃, especially at lower oxygen partial pressure. The present experiment results are in good agreement with the calculated ones by FactSage.展开更多
