DYNAMICS OF AN UMBILICAL CABLE FOR UNDERGROUND BORE-WELL APPLICATIONS

International Journal of Electronics Signals and Systems, 2012
A general model for an umbilical cable for underground bore-well applications is considered. The response of one-degree-of-freedom, nonlinear system under external excitation forces and the effect of the parameters 􀟱2, β and f on the excited system are investigated.

Indoor UAV for Nuclear Investigation: Experimental Qualification and Field Feedback

Journal of Field Robotics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Indoor Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) have recently gained interest for inspection and investigation tasks in hazardous environments. In the nuclear field, indoor UAVs offer promising capabilities to reduce workers' exposure to ionizing radiation while accessing confined or elevated areas.

Anchored but not safe: Rare but serious mechanical complications from peritoneal dialysis catheter suture fixation

UroPrecision, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Peritoneal dialysis (PD) catheter fixation techniques are frequently employed to minimize migration and optimize dialysate flow. While mechanical complications of PD catheters are well recognized, adverse events directly attributable to anchoring sutures are rarely described. We report two patients with end‐stage renal failure (ESRF)

Views from the Inside: Reflections on the Modern Hospital

The Political Quarterly, EarlyView.
Abstract There's a constant refrain in the press, on social media and from populist politicians that the NHS is dying on its feet. How accurate is this picture? This article takes a behind‐the‐scenes look at daily life in a modern, big city hospital. The Queen Elizabeth is now the biggest workplace in Birmingham.

Genetic and Phenotypic Correlations Among Growth, Disease Occurrence, and Reproductive Performance From Calf to Heifer in Girolando Dairy Cattle

Journal of Animal Breeding and Genetics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Girolando breed, a cross between Holstein (Bos taurus) and Gir (Bos indicus), is the primary choice for dairy production in Brazilian tropical regions, as it combines high productive potential with adaptation to the tropical environment.

Field Analysis of SF(6) Gas Insulated Cables and Its Application to Spacer Design [PDF]

, 1974
This paper describes the spacer design for SF(6) gas insulated cables. The maximum electric stress within the cable is calculated by a numerical method, and it is recognized that the breakdown voltage depends linearly on the calculated values.

TMEM16A channel signalling microdomains in the regulation of vascular function

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Schematic representation of TMEM16A channel signalling microdomains. Calcium influx or calcium release from the endoplasmic/sarcoplasmic reticulum (ER/SR) activates TMEM16A channels through interactions with regulatory proteins in vascular smooth muscle cells or endothelial cells. TMEM16A channel activation drives chloride efflux,
