Online dynamic measurement of saturation-capillary pressure relation in sandy medium under water level fluctuation

An online dynamic method based on electrical conductivity probe, tensiometer and datataker was presented to measure saturation-capillary pressure （S-p） relation in water-light nonaqueous phase liquid （LNAPL） two-phase sandy medium under water level fluctuation. Three-electrode electrical conductivity probe （ECP） was used to measure water saturation. Hydrophobic tensiometer was obtained by spraying waterproof material to the ceramic cup of commercially available hydrophilic tensiometer. A couple of hydrophilic tensiometer and hydrophobic tensiometer were used to measure pore water pressure and pore LNAPL pressure of the sandy medium, respectively. All the signals from ECP and tensiometer were collected by a data taker connected with a computer. The results show that this method can finish the measurement of S-R relation of a complete drainage or imbibition process in less than 60 min. It is much more timesaving compared with 10-40 d of traditional methods. Two cycles of water level fluctuation were produced, and four saturation-capillary pressure relations including two stable residual LNAPL saturations of the sandy medium were obtained during in 350 h. The results show that this method has a good durable performance and feasibility in the porous medium with complicated multiphase flow. Although further studies are needed on the signal stability and accuracy drift of the ECP, this online dynamic method can be used successfully in the rapid characterization of a LNAPL migration in porous media.

Objective:This article mainly analyzes the risk factors of pressure injury related to tracheal intubation in ICU patients.Methods:This time,the investigation and research were mainly conducted on 110 patients with tracheal intubation received in the ICU of our hospital from June 2020 to June 2021,and the risk factors for related pressure injuries were analyzed.Results:According to statistics,the incidence rate of patients with tracheal intubation-related pressure injury was 23.63%,of which the lip had the highest incidence;the indwelling time of the tracheal tube,the wetness score,the movement force score,and the frictional shear score in the Braden score of the tracheal intubation These are all risk factors for pressure injury related to tracheal intubation(P<0.05).Conclusion:ICU patients have a higher incidence of related pressure injuries during tracheal intubation,so it is necessary to strengthen the care of risk factors and take reasonable and effective measures to prevent them.

Testing of NAPL simulator to predict migration of a light nonaqueous phase liquid(LNAPL) under water table fluctuation in a sandy medium

Nanoqueous phase liquid(NAPL) simulator is a powerful and popular mathematical model for modeling the flow and transport of non-aqueous phase liquids in subsurface,but the testing of its feasibility under water table fluctuation has received insufficient attention.The feature in a column test was tested through two cycles of water table fluctuation.The sandy medium in the column was initially saturated,and each cycle of water table fluctuation consisted of one water table falling and one rising,resulting in a drainage and an imbibition of the medium,respectively.It was found that the difference between the simulated and measured results in the first drainage of the column test was minor.However,with the propagation of the water table fluctuations,the simulation errors increased,and the simulation accuracy was not acceptable except for the first drainage in the two fluctuation cycles.The main reason was proved to be the estimation method of residual saturation used in this simulator.Also,based on the column tests,it was assumed that the resulting residual saturation from an incomplete imbibition process was a constant,with a value equal to that of the residual value resulting from the main imbibition process.The results obtained after modifying NAPL simulator with this assumption were found to be more accurate in the first cycle of water table fluctuation,but this accuracy decreased rapidly in the second one.It is concluded that NAPL simulator is not adequate in the case of LNAPL migration under water table fluctuation in sandy medium,unless a feasible assumption to estimate residual saturation is put forward.

RELATIONS OF INTRACRANIAL PRESSURE, CREATINE KINASE AND BRAINSTEM AUDITORY EVOKED POTENTIAL IN PATIENTS WITH TRAUMATIC BRAIN EDEMA

We studied the relations of intracranial pressure (ICP),creatine kinase (CK) and bralnstem auditory evoked potential (BAEP) in 44 patients with traumatic brain edema who were admitted to our hospital from June 1990 to February 1991. There were 30 males and 14 females, with age range from 9 to 67 years. The results showed that the abnormal BAEP could reflect the severity of cerebral edema in acute head injury and was related to ICP and serum CK levels. When ICP>30 mmHg (4kPa), the abnormality of BAEP was more obvious than that of the control group (P<0.05); the serum CK levels were also elevated markedly. In patients with ICP over and below 4kPa, the rate of abnormal BAEP was 38.46% and 77.78% respectively (P<0.05). The serum CK level in the normal group or in the group with moderate abnormality of BAEP was significantly different from that in the group with severe abnormality or lack of BAEP (274.8± 98.24 U/L vs 705.3± 364.27 U/L; P<0.001). After treatment, the ICP returned to normal, and the BAEP norm

The theory of compression–shear coupled composite wave propagation in rock

The wave velocity analysis of rock medium is the main method used to explore the internal compositions in the crust and research seismic.In this paper,a compression–shear coupled nonlinear elastic constitutive relation is established,which is consistent with the mechanical properties of rock and mineral medium under high pressure.On this basis,numerical solutions of the wave equation and plane wave analytical solutions for the primary and secondary wave velocities are obtained.As is indicated by the comparison with the linear elastic constitutive theory,the results reflect the compression–shear coupling characteristics of the rock,including the stress path effect and the compression–shear coupling wave effect.With different parameter values,the velocity of the secondary wave changes from lower than that of the elastic shear wave,to higher than that of the elastic shear wave.The research results are expected to provide meaningful explanations for the physical mechanisms of the supershear wave and sub-Rayleigh wave,and guidance for the detection of rock and soil composition and the observation of seismic waves.

Analysis of the rising and sinking movement of the crust in Qinghai－Xizang Plateau，China

The average swelling height of Qinghai-Xizang Plateau(Tibet) is about 4.1 km.The area is about 2 300 000 km2.It is the highest and the largest plateau in the world.Mount Qomolangma,the highest peak in the world,is located in the southern fringe of the plateau,and its height is still increasing.What is the driving force for the rising of the Qinghai-Xizang plateau?How high will the plateau still rise from now on? These questions are much concerned by people.In this paper the distribution of the pressure at different depths in the region of Qinghai-Xizang Plateau are derived according to the three-dimensional structures of the S-wave velocity in the crust and upper mantle.The crust and upper mantle structures of the Qinghai-Xizang Plateau is deliberated on the basis of the distribution with a comprehensive analysis on the rock types,earthquakes and the relative crust movements.Then the two questions raised above are discussed.

Ni0.35Zn0.65Fe2O4 ferrite was synthesized by SHS method. In the process of SHS, combustion temperature and velocity were the main process parameters , which were decided by the Fe content, grain size of the ferrite powder, relative density and the oxygen pressure. In this paper the effects of Fe content, grain size and oxygen pressure on combustion temperature and velocity were discussed. The relation between combustion temperature and magnetic permeability was also studied and the method of polynomial regression was used to establish the mathematical model of the relation.

A STUDY ON VARIABILITY OF SEA SURFACE TEMPERATURE IN TROPICAL PACIFIC, INDIAN OCEAN AND RELATED AIR CIRCULATION

Canonical Correlation Analysis (CCA) was a-dopted in the present paper tostudy the of Sea Surface Temperature (SST) in the tropical Pacific, Indian Ocean and related aircirculation. The results show that on the seasonal time scale, El Nino events can be divided intotwo types: the east one and the middle one. For the middle type the SST variations appear contrarilyin the tropical Pacific and Indian O-cean, and the anomalous SST decreases in the east butincreases in the northwest and south-middle of the tropical Indian O-cean, specially in the east ofMadagascar Island. And vice versa. On annual time scale, when the Asian continent high gets strongerand the deepened Aleutian low shifts southeastward, both of them trigger an onset of the El Ninoevents. Contrarily, the La Nina events take place. On decadal time scale, there are two basic modesof air-sea system over the tropical Pacific and Indian Ocean. Firstly, when the Asian continent highgets stronger and deepened Aleutian low shifts southeastward, the anomalous SST increases in themiddle and east of the proical Pacific, extending to the subtropical regions, and so in most of thetropical Indian Ocean, specially in the northeast of Madagascar Island and nearby. And vice versa.Secondly, when the Asian continent high gets stronger in the north and the Aleutian low decreasesfixedly or even disappears, the anomalous SST decreases slightly in middle of the tropical Pacificand the temperate northern Pacific but increases weakly in other regions, the anomalous SSTincreases in the south but decreases in the north of the tropical Indian O-cean, and the SSTincreases more obviously in southeast of Madagascar Island. And vice versa. The linear trends ofglob- al warming seems to play a certain role for the El Nino onsets.
