Improving Collapsibility and Compressibility of Gypseous Sandy Soil Using Bentonite and Kaolinite [PDF]
The sandy soil which covers the surface layer for the investigated area consists of high gypsum content (50%). The soil was found to be a “collapsible” soil. Thus bentonite and kaolinite have been used as an improving agents for such soil.

Finite Element Analysis of Upper Airway in Ansa Cervicalis Stimulation for Obstructive Sleep Apnea
We developed a subject‐specific FE model to investigate how ACS stabilizes the upper airway in OSA. Simulations demonstrate that caudal traction applied through the hyolaryngeal complex produces coordinated multilevel airway stabilization, with pronounced effects at the retropalatal and retro‐epiglottic regions under physiologic loading.

Effects of Soluble Salt on Mechanical Properties in a Loess Saline Soil Site
[Purposes] The mechanical properties of loess saline soil are greatly affected by soluble salts. Especially, the contribution of collapsibility coefficient produced by soluble salts to collapsibility coefficient is difficult to evaluate. [Methods] On the

Discrete Morse theory for the collapsibility of supremum sections [PDF]
The Dushnik-Miller dimension of a poset $\le$ is the minimal number $d$ of linear extensions $\le_1, \ldots , \le_d$ of $\le$ such that $\le$ is the intersection of $\le_1, \ldots , \le_d$.

Pulmonary arterial baroreceptors reflexively stimulate sympathetic nerve activity (SNA) in response to elevated pulmonary artery pressure and distension. In pulmonary hypertension patients, changes in muscle SNA were proportional to changes in pulmonary haemodynamics following nebulised iloprost.

Hypopharyngeal Surgery in Obstructive Sleep Apnea: A Differential Pattern‑Based Surgical Decision
ABSTRACT Background This study aimed to discuss the outcomes after surgical interventions for OSA in patients with hypopharyngeal collapse; the selection of the individual procedure was primarily based on the preoperative endoscopic examination (positional awake endoscopy and DISE) data.

Improvement of Gypseous Soil by Clinker Additive [PDF]
In this paper, mechanical properties were studied for gypseous soilbrought up from Al-Axandria region, Babylon Governorate. Gypsumcontent is equal to (40%). Many tests were employed on disturbed andundisturbed samples collected at depth (1-1.5) m.Clinker
