An image based colorimetric technique for portable blood gas analysis
Blood gas analysis is an important part of a doctor’s diagnosis; it primarily consists of the partial pressure of oxygen, partial pressure of carbon dioxide and the pH. It provides the medical practitioners with insight into the patient’s respiratory health, the metabolic activity in the body and …

A Combined In Vivo and In Vitro Approach to the Study of Endotoxemia in Swine
The cardiopulmonary effects of endotoxin administration (1 microgram/kg) were evaluated in 8-10 week old SPF-derived Yorkshire pigs, both because endotoxemia is a common and important swine problem, and because the pig is a good model for human adult respiratory distress syndrome. Physiological …

Evaluation of the Bird Mark 8 respirator with J circuit for neonatal application
This study presents an evaluation of the Bird Mark 8 Respirator with J Circuit in neonatal application. The system was studied with special attention to the desirability of its possible application in the treatment of a respiratory ailment of newborn infants called hyaline membrane disease. The …

Characterization of the Carbonate System across the Agulhas and Agulhas Return Currents
… presents for the first time a characterization of the role the Agulhas Current system (Agulhas and Agulhas Return Currents) has on the uptake of anthropogenic CO₂. Fugacity of carbon dioxide (fCO₂ ) values were obtained from a ship-based underway pCO₂ (partial pressure of carbon dioxide) system …

Developing in situ instrumentation to monitor anthropogenic change
… that govern the ocean’s response to inputs (e.g. carbon dioxide, pollutants). Analytical models can be used to generate predictions and simulate intervention strategies, but they must be grounded with empirical observations. Unfortunately, there exists a technological gap: in situ instrumentation …

Classification of Foetal Distress and Hypoxia Using Machine Learning
… is considered a serious condition and one of the main factors for caesarean section in the obstetrics and gynaecology department. It is considered to be the third most common cause of death in new-born babies. Foetal distress occurs in about 1 in 20 pregnancies. Many foetuses that …

Decomposition and Fire Retardancy of Naturally Occurring Mixtures of Huntite and Hydromagnesite.
Mixtures of the two minerals huntite and hydromagnesite have been successfully used as a fire retardant additive in polymers for many years. The onset of decomposition of hydromagnesite is at a higher temperature than that of aluminium hydroxide but lower than that of magnesium hydroxide, the two …

Development of low-cost in situ gas sensors for oceanographic applications
Anthropogenic activity has increased atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) levels, disrupting the global carbon cycle and driving widespread environmental change. The ocean acts as a major sink. Accurate and scalable in situ monitoring of oceanic carbon chemistry is vital for understanding the impacts …

Learning and model-based approaches to improved patient monitoring, assessment and treatment in capnography and procedural sedation
… quantitative approach allows improved diagnosis of important cardiorespiratory conditions. The second setting is procedural sedation, where our model-based approach to assessing patient state can provide valuable guidance and improve efficiency and safety for titration of sedative agents. …

Physical Oceanographic Controls on Biological Production and Ocean-Atmosphere Carbon Flux in the North Pacific
… identifies and quantifies the impact of processes driving two biogeochemical phenomena of interest by considering them in the context of the large-scale circulation in which they occur. Both processes occur in the North Pacific transition zone (NPTZ), a basin-wide region near the …

Aluminium foam production using calcium carbonate as a foaming agent
The current state of the art with regards to the production of metallic foams is reviewed, with melt-based processes identified as the most promising for cost-effective large-scale production. The potential for metal carbonates as an alternative to currently-used titanium hydride foaming agents is …

Apoptosis in Haematopoietic progenitors
Introduction: Intracranial pressure (ICP) monitoring is a cornerstone of care for patients with severe traumatic brain injury (TBI). The primary goal of ICP treatment is to preserve brain oxygenation, and since brain oxygenation is usually not measured, the control of ICP is used as a surrogate …
