Prolonged and Long-Term Mechanical Ventilation in Children


Free Download Prolonged and Long-Term Mechanical Ventilation in Children
English | 2024 | ISBN: 9819789028 | 435 Pages | PDF EPUB (True) | 17 MB
This book comprehensively reviews the concept, epidemiology, management strategy, possible therapy and future considerations of children requiring continuous ventilatory support. The chapters discuss both invasive and non-invasive therapy, and the transition from hospital to home ventilation, complications, management of tracheostomy and much more. The book offers insight into ways of reducing the number of children requiring mechanical ventilation and how to manage the complicated situation when it happens. As science advances, the population growth, lower mortality, and increasing complexity of diseases have boosted up the number of patients requiring prolonged breathing assistance with mechanical ventilators. However, there is a few cases in one center with children requiring such intensive care medicine, and so there is no agreed-upon management strategy. This book brings together information and experiences from around the world aiming to improve the quality of medical care and to create a foundation for a clear and effective guide to healthcare professionals.

Fatigue under Thermal and Mechanical Loading Mechanisms, Mechanics and Modelling Proceedings of the Symposium held at Petten,


Free Download Fatigue under Thermal and Mechanical Loading: Mechanisms, Mechanics and Modelling: Proceedings of the Symposium held at Petten, The Netherlands, 22-24 May 1995 By H.-J. Christ, H. Mughrabi, S. Kraft, F. Petry, R. Zauter, K. Eckert (auth.), J. Bressers, L. Rémy, M. Steen, J. L. Vallés (eds.)

The International Symposium "Fatigue under Thermal and Mechanical Loading", held at Petten (The Netherlands) on May 22-24, 1995, was jointly organized by the Institute for Advanced Materials of The Joint Research Centre, E. C. , and by the Societe Fran~se de Metallurgie et de Materiaux. The fast heating and cooling cycles experienced by many high temperature components cause thermally induced stresses, which often operate in combination with mechanical loads. The resulting thermal / mechanical fatigue cycle leads to material degradation mechanisms and failure modes typical of service cycles. The growing awareness that the synergism between the combined thermal and mechanical loads can not be reproduced by means of isothermal tests, has resulted in an increasing interest in thermal and thermo-mechanical fatigue testing. This trend has been reinforced by the constant pull by industry for more performant, yet safer high temperature systems, pushing the materials to the limit of their properties. Dedicated ASTM meetings in particular have set the scene for this area of research. The proceedings of the symposium organized by D. A. Spera and D. F. Mowbray in 1975 provided a reference book on thermal fatigue which reflects the knowledge and experimental capabilities of the mid-seventies.

The Mechanics of Mechanical Watches and Clocks


Free Download The Mechanics of Mechanical Watches and Clocks By Ruxu Du, Longhan Xie (auth.)
2013 | 179 Pages | ISBN: 3642293077 | PDF | 9 MB
"The Mechanics of Mechanical Watches and Clocks" presents historical views and mathematical models of mechanical watches and clocks. Although now over six hundred years old, mechanical watches and clocks are still popular luxury items that fascinate many people around the world. However few have examined the theory of how they work as presented in this book. The illustrations and computer animations are unique and have never been published before.It will be of significant interest to researchers in mechanical engineering, watchmakers and clockmakers, as well as people who have an engineering background and are interested in mechanical watches and clocks. It will also inspire people in other fields of science and technology, such as mechanical engineering and electronics engineering, to advance their designs.Professor Ruxu Du works at the Chinese University of Hong Kong, China. Assistant Professor Longhan Xie works at the South China University of Technology, China.

Quantum Mechanical Simulation Methods for Studying Biological Systems Les Houches Workshop, May 2-7, 1995


Free Download Quantum Mechanical Simulation Methods for Studying Biological Systems: Les Houches Workshop, May 2-7, 1995 By N. C. Handy (auth.), Dominique Bicout, Martin Field (eds.)
1996 | 311 Pages | ISBN: 3540608699 | PDF | 8 MB
It is now generally agreed that a deeper understanding of biological processes requires a multi-disciplinary approach employing the tools of biology, chemistry, and physics. Such understanding involves study of biomacromolecules and their functions, which includes how they interact, their reactions, and how information is transmitted between them. This volume is devoted to quantum mechanical simulation techniques, which have developed rapidly in recent years. It covers quantum mechanical calculations of large systems, molecular dynamics combining quantum and classical algorithms, quantum dynamical simulations, and electron and proton transfer processes in proteins and in solutions.

Quantum Mechanical Electronic Structure Calculations with Chemical Accuracy


Free Download Quantum Mechanical Electronic Structure Calculations with Chemical Accuracy By James B. Anderson (auth.), Stephen R. Langhoff (eds.)
1995 | 449 Pages | ISBN: 9401040877 | PDF | 36 MB
The principal focus of this volume is to illustrate the level of accuracy currently achievable by ab initio quantum chemical calculations. While new developments in theory are discussed to some extent, the major emphasis is on a comparison of calculated properties with experiment. This focus is similar to the one taken in a book, Comparison of Ab Initio Quantum Chemistry with Experiment for SmallMolecules, edited by Rodney Bartlett (Reidel, 1984). However, the phenomenal improvement in both theoretical methods and computer architecture have made it possible to obtain accurate results for rather large molecular systems. This is perhaps best illustrated in this volume by the chapter entitled `Spectroscopy of Large Organic Molecules’ by Bjorn Roos and coworkers. For example, the electronic spectra of the nucleic acid base monomer structures shown on the front cover have been obtained using a fully correlated ab initio study. For researchers, teachers and students in chemistry and physics.
