Clamping of the endotracheal tube to preserve the level of PEEP during disconnection from the ventilation circuit – a survey on routine practice [PDF]
BMC AnesthesiologyBackground Clamping of the endotracheal tube during disconnection from the ventilatory circuit appears to be commonly used to prevent abrupt loss of positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) in invasively ventilated patients.

Recoil analysis of deepwater drilling riser after emergency disconnection
Ocean Engineering, 2019 Abstract In this paper, the mechanical model and governing equations for the recoil response of deepwater drilling riser are established based on the mass-spring-damping system with three degrees of freedom. The direct acting tensioner (DAT) and axial elongation of riser before disconnection the are taken as the boundary condition and initial ...

Two methods for simulating mud discharge after emergency disconnection of a drilling riser [PDF]
Journal of Natural Gas Science and Engineering, 2016 Abstract In marine floating drilling, emergency disconnection of a drilling riser is required in harsh environments or loss of dynamic positioning control. After disconnection, drilling mud in the riser discharges directly from the riser bottom, and seawater refills the vacancy emptied out after mud falling through refill valves.

Analysis of vibration characteristics of deep-sea mining risers under emergency disconnection state
Applied Ocean ResearchThe extreme marine environment poses a significant threat to deep-sea mining operations. For the sake of security, the jack-up diving platform and riser system are still deployed in the sea, and the emergency evacuation of personnel and mining vessels is

Emergence of disconnected clusters in heterogeneous complex systems [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2020 AbstractPercolation theory dictates an intuitive picture depicting correlated regions in complex systems as densely connected clusters. While this picture might be adequate at small scales and apart from criticality, we show that highly correlated sites in complex systems can be inherently disconnected.

Research Progress on Recoil Analysis and Control Technology of Deepwater Drilling Risers
Energies, 2022 The deepwater drilling riser is a very important and vulnerable connection between an offshore platform and subsea wellhead. Under some certain complex marine environment and operating conditions, the offshore platform may drift beyond the safe ...

New directions in science emerge from disconnection and discord
Journal of Informetrics, 2022 Science is built on the scholarly consensus that shifts with time. This raises the question of how new and revolutionary ideas are evaluated and become accepted into the canon of science. Using two recently proposed metrics, we identify papers with high atypicality, which models how research draws upon novel combinations of prior research, and evaluate
