Clinicians talked about auscultating for a variety of sounds using descriptive concepts: crepitations, dullness, wheeze and polyphonic wheeze, crackles, rhonchi, whistling and muffling sound, as well as interpreting concepts: consolidation and sounds of sputum or congestion.
Terzaghi also introduced the concept of consolidation, in which the compression of a fluid-saturated soil can take place only as the fluid slowly flows through the pore space under pressure gradients, according to Darcy's law; this effect accounts for the time-dependent settlement of constructions over clay soils.
The theory is in nature analogous to the concept of consolidation in soil mechanics, in which reduction in volume takes place by expulsion of water under long-term static loads.
In recent years there has been a great deal of interest in the concept of consolidation as it pertains to reaching movements [22] [24].
The concept of consolidation, using a non-cross agent treatment started before tumor progression, also referred to as an "early second-line", has been investigated in several trials.
It follows the concept of distributed consolidation of information, aiming heterogeneous systems to communicate towards their mutual benefit however through middleware agents which validate and consolidate information.
The high-pressure tube-trailer consolidation concept could play a major role in enabling the early, widespread deployment of HRSs because it lowers the required HRS capital investment and distributes the investment risk among the market segments of hydrogen production, delivery, and refueling.
Patients fulfilling the inclusion criteria will be treated with intensity-modulated WAR up to a total dose of 30 Gy in 1.5 Gy fractions within a consolidation concept.
WAR as a consolidation concept after surgery and chemotherapy has been evaluated in a number of small and non-randomized studies with contradictory results [ 12- 17].
The "as treated" outcome analysis was based on the hypothesis that immunotherapy with MAB ch14.18 and oral maintenance chemotherapy in the NB90 trial share the concept of prolonged consolidation treatment of potential minimal residual disease.
