This report summarizes current physiological and technical knowledge on esophageal
pressure (Pes) measurements in patients receiving mechanical ventilation. The respiratory …

The electric current activated/assisted sintering (ECAS) is an ever growing class of versatile
techniques for sintering particulate materials. Despite the tremendous advances over the …

Abstract Purpose Esophageal pressure (Pes) is a minimally invasive advanced respiratory
monitoring method with the potential to guide management of ventilation support and …

Background A lung-protective ventilatory strategy with low tidal volume (VT) has been
proposed for use in acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Alveolar derecruitment …

Abstract Bulk equiatomic (Hf-Ta-Zr-Ti) C and (Hf-Ta-Zr-Nb) C high entropy Ultra-High
Temperature Ceramic (UHTC) carbide compositions were fabricated by ball milling and …

Context Many potential donor lungs deteriorate between the time of brain death and
evaluation for transplantation suitability, possibly because of the ventilatory strategy used …

Flash sintering (FS) is an energy efficient sintering technique involving electrical Joule
heating, which allows very rapid densification (< 60 s) of particulate materials. Since the first …

Graphene has remarkable mechanical properties, which makes it potentially a good
reinforcement in ceramic composites. It also has unique electrical and thermal properties …

Graphene was prepared using liquid phase exfoliation and dispersed in an alumina matrix
using an ultrasonication and powder processing route. Al 2 O 3–graphene composites with …

Rationale: In patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), a focal distribution of
loss of aeration in lung computed tomography predicts low potential for alveolar recruitment …
