OBJECTIVES: To compare the new tools to evaluate the energy dissipated to the lung parenchyma in mechanically ventilated children with and without lung injury. We compared their discrimination capability between both ...

Mechanical ventilation is a lifesaving intervention that may also induce further lung injury by exerting excessive mechanical forces on susceptible lung tissue, a phenomenon termed ventilator-induced lung injury (VILI). ...

This paper deals with the subject-matter of teaching immaterial issues like power system dynamics where the phenomena and events are not sense-perceptible. The dynamics of the power system are recognized as analogous to ...

Previous bat aerodynamic power models are refined by (1) varying the value of wing profile drag with lift coefficient, which varies with both flight speed and Reynolds number, (2) allowing for the aerodynamic cleanliness ...

In classical physics, probabilistic or statistical knowledge has been always re- lated to ignorance or inaccurate subjective knowledge about an actual state of affairs. This idea has been extended to quantum mechanics ...

Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to highlight the opportunity for the energy policy in Brazil to tackle the very high cost-effectiveness potencial of solar energy to the power system. Three mechanisms to achieve ...
