Considering that the sound wavelength is great compared with the cross-dimensions of the VT (Flanagan et al. 1975) and, therefore, assuming a one-dimensional wave propagation along the VT and under observing of adequate matching conditions, a stack of straightened uniform cylinders based on the VT area function can be used to solve the simplified wave equation (Sundberg et al. 1992; Boersma 1998).
Based on the VT Commodore architecture, the coupe attracted worldwide attention after being shown as a concept car at Australian auto shows.
The maximum compressive strength of the activated-tailing based geopolymer (25 MPa) surpassed the strength (8.7 MPa) of the geopolymer based on the raw VT.
The lower average pore radius (Rp) measured by the N2 gas-adsorption method based on the total volume (Vt) to SSA ratio variations in WDCs without metal oxides compared to WDC with metal oxides indicated a contraction of the porous structure of WDCs due to the presence of metal oxide nanoparticles.
Based on the suggestion that VTs insertion can help avoid the formation of cholesteatoma [ 7, 10, 27, 28], no incidence of this risk was predicted for the children in this strategy.
The lung protective strategy is based on the use of low VT in patients with ARDS to prevent baro- or volo-trauma.
With adaptive support ventilation (ASV), a microprocessor-controlled mode of mechanical ventilation, the ventilator adapts tidal volume (VT) size based on the Otis least work of breathing formula.
An innovative approach is to provide automatic titration of the level of PS, based on the continuous evaluation of respiratory rate, VT and end-tidal CO2 [ 30, 31].
Using an ad hoc function of the N eurolucida software (based on the Cavalieri method; MicroBrightField, Inc., Colchester, VT, USA), the volume of the cervical lesion (in mm) was extrapolated from the reconstructions of the lesion on consecutive histological longitudinal sections of the cervical cord (see Table 1).
Fluorometric determinations were quantified with a Synergy 2 multimode microplate reader (BioTek, Winooski, VT, USA) and were based on the release of the fluorescent product 4-methyl-umbelliferone using excitation and emission wavelengths of 360 and 460 nm, respectively.
Oxygen radical absorbance capacity (ORAC) assays were performed in a Synergy™ HT Multi-Mode Microplate Reader (BioTek Instruments, Inc., Winooski, VT, USA) and were based on the method described by Huang et al. [ 16].
