The increasing demand for sustainable energy has spurred research and development of wind turbines.In this study, a passive flow-control technique using a non-uniform curved slot is proposed.The slot is engraved on the mid-chord region of the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) Phase VI wind turbine blade, between the quarter-span and tip r
The use of extended release bupivacaine with transversus abdominis plane and subcostal anterior quadratus lumborum catheters: A retrospective analysis of a novel technique
Background and Aims: Liposomal bupivacaine (LB) is a formulation of local anesthetic that may exert analgesia over a prolonged period.Anecdotal use of LB suggests benefit and prolonged analgesia when used to supplement infiltration blocks.Our aim was to test the effect of a bolus of LB delivered through a nerve catheter medicator pump in two types
Estimating Resting HRV during fMRI: A Comparison between Laboratory and Scanner Environment
Heart rate variability (HRV) is regularly assessed in neuroimaging studies as an indicator of autonomic, emotional or cognitive processes.In this study, we investigated the influence of a loud and cramped environment during magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) on resting HRV measures.We compared recordings during functional MRI sessions with recordings
Optimizing Spectrum Utilization and Security in SAS-Enabled CBRS Systems for Enhanced 5G Performance
With the growing demand for delay-sensitive voice, video, and data-based applications, the challenge of efficient spectrum utilization is becoming more critical.To address the challenges of spectrum scarcity, the Federal dabcaps Communications Commission (FCC) has authorized the sharing of the federally held Citizen Broadband Radio Service (CBRS) b
Influence of Airflow Field on Food Freezing and Energy Consumption in Cold Storage
Currently most food products are cooled and frozen in air-blast cold storage to prolong storage time.The airflow field distribution in storage has a great impact on the process of food freezing and energy cost by that.In this paper, a transient model of food freezing considering airflow field was developed candle snuffer big w to simulation the tem
