It appears, in sum, that the "reduction" and "enhancement" of pneumatic fossae between posterior dorsal and sacral vertebrae in Majungasaurus is directly related to "reduction" and "enhancement" of vertebral structure.
Regarding the reduced fossae in dorsal 12, O'Connor remarked, "Concomitant with the reduction in neural arch laminae, pneumatic foramina are only present immediately adjacent to the postzygapophyses" [35: 144].
This paper shows that an additional flexible element added to the exciting piston of the electro-pneumatic hammer improves excitation performance, leading to an extension of acceleration time and a reduction in the intensity of impulses of pneumatic impacts thereby relieving load on the operator.
This reduction of the size of the pneumatic fossae, nonetheless, was presented as prima facie evidence for separation of cervical and abdominal "focal centers" of pneumatic diverticulae [31: 22].
A meta-analysis was unable to show any reduction in the rate of DVT with intermittent pneumatic compression (IPC) [ 520]; however, mechanical methods are widely used because of the low bleeding risk.
The proposed method has been applied to the reduction of the vibrations transmitted to the operator by a small pneumatic hammer.
He found that continuous use of a pneumatic compression device (A-V impulse hand pump) for 48 h resulted in reduction in swelling of 78.6%, and intermittent use a reduction of 69.4%; they also found subjective reduction in pain perception and objective improvement in hand function.
(2008) [5] have demonstrated that it is possible to increase the operative angular range of pneumatic three-hole pressure probes (THP) using a two-zoned method in the data reduction procedure.
