Peak temperatures for the moderately MMs are intermediate between the criterion temperatures, i.e., between 500 and 700 °C; hence it is difficult to distinguish whether the moderately heated MMs originated from asteroids or comets based only on the peak temperature.
The material behavior is a key one: constitutive laws, able to describe the material behavior in terms of hardening, strain rate, damage criteria, temperature, etc…, is fundamental.
For cooling-syngas quenching cooler, the outlet region has higher risk of fouling and slagging because the outlet gas and particle temperature are about 940 °C, and exceed the criteria temperature 760 °C (suggested in the literature).
Respiratory specimen was obtained, and antibiotic treatment was began when an AP was suspected (two of the following criteria: temperature ≥38.5 ou ≤35.5 °C, leukocytosis or leukopenia, purulent tracheal aspirates) and new infiltrates on the chest X-ray.
Table 2 Characteristics of the systemic inflammatory response syndrome Variable n = 176 SIRS criteria Temperature <36°C or >38°C 92 (53) Heart rate >90 bpm 146 (83) Ventilatory rate >20 155 (88) Number of SIRS criteria 2 out of 3 135 (77) 3 out of 3 41 (23) Numbers are n ; SIRS, systemic inflammatory response syndrome.
Ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) was defined by the presence of new or progressive radiographic infiltrate associated with two of the following criteria: temperature above 38.5°C or below 36.5°C; leukocyte count greater than 10000 cells/μL or less than 1500 cells/μl; purulent tracheal aspirate.
We included patients aged 15 years or older with any suspected or confirmed bacterial infection as their admission diagnosis and at least one of the following SIRS criteria: temperature >38°C or <36°C; and leucocyte count >12000/mm, <4000/mm, or >10% immature forms (bands).
(2) At least three of the following criteria: temperature more than 38.0°C or less than 36.5°C, respiratory rate more than 20 breaths per minute or arterial pressure in CO2 (PaCO2) less than 32 mmHg or mechanical ventilation, heart rate more than 90 beats per minute, white blood cell count more than 12,000 per mm3 or less than 4,000 per mm.
VAP was defined by the presence of new or progressive radiographic infiltrate associated with two of the following criteria: temperature above 38.5°C or below 36.5°C, leucocyte count above 10,000/μl or below 1,500/μl, purulent tracheal aspirate, and positive (≥106 colony-forming units per ml) tracheal aspirate.
Sepsis was defined by two or more criteria: temperature >38°C or <36°C, heart rate >90 beats/minute, respiratory rate >20 breaths/minute or arterial partial pressure of carbon dioxide <32 Torr (<4.3 kPa), white cell count >12,000 cells/mm, <4,000 cells/mm, or >10% immature (band) forms.
