Temporal variations of bed load transport rate and the grain size distribution of non-uniform size sediment during a constant flow rates

Bedload transport rates at a point using both laboratory and field measurement vary with time, from almost zero to several folds of the mean rate.The need to carry out point measurements over a sufficiently long sampling period is very important to cover inconsistency in the transport rate during a short period of observation.In this experiment the

Adjusting ventilator settings to avoid air trapping in extremely premature infants reduces the need for tracheostomy and length of stay

Despite the improving understanding of how lung mechanics and tidal volume requirements evolve during the evolution of bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD), clinical management continues to be heterogeneous and inconsistent at many institutions.Recent reports have examined the use of high tidal-volume low respiratory rate strategies in these patients o
