Cerebral blood flow velocities were recorded for six minute intervals at a 1 1 balloon inflation-ratio (augmentation of all cardiac beats) and during progressive reductions of the inflation-ratio to 1 3 (augmentation of one every third cardiac beat).
Pulse waveforms obtained over a 10 sec period at the left radial artery were used to determine indices of pulse wave analyses (PWA), subendocardial viability ratio (SEVR), augmentation pressure (AP), and augmentation index (AIx).
The performance evaluation in terms of energy augmentation ratio (EAR), effective energy augmentation ratio (EEAR) and exergy augmentation ratio (EXAR) has been carried out for various values of Reynolds number (Re) and roughness parameters of expanded metal mesh roughness geometry in the absorber plate of solar air heater duct.
Test results showed that for a 2-row coil under RH = 50%, the corresponding heat transfer augmentation ratio (QR) and pressure penalty ratio (PR) decrease with the rise of bypass ratio (BR).
The diffuser has been modeled with different shapes with the aim to understand the effect of length and area ratio on power augmentation.
The results indicated that ALN-HA composite coating, which could induce higher bone-implant contact (BIC) ratio, bone mass augmentation, BMD, and implant stability in the peri-implant region, was more potent on peri-implant bone, while RIS-HA composite coating, which had significant systemic effect, was more potent on non-peri-implant bone, especially lumbar vertebrae.
Recent hot-fire tests have validated the design approach and thrust augmentation ratios.
It is also found that augmentation ratios increase with increase in duct depth and intensity of solar radiation.
It is found that the augmentation ratios decrease at faster rate with Re in the order of EAR, EEAR and EXAR.
A case control study from Uganda [ 20] demonstrated significant association (odds ratio 5.76 (2.20-15.05)) between augmentation of labour and birth asphyxia, while a verbal autopsy study of stillbirths and neonatal deaths in Nepal concluded that use of injections to accelerate home delivery had contributed to deaths from birth asphyxia [ 21].
Spatial sensitivity of drought indicators to hydrologic ratios suggests that an increase in hydrologic ratios may result in augmentation of magnitude of drought indicators in majority of the river basins.
