Animal, vegetable or cerebral: brains in agricultural production

Recent developments in brain research seem to have passed unnoticed in veterinary and agricultural circles. Yet they have transformed views on the subject and, Dr Cross argues, made study of the brain mandatory for future advance in animal health and production.     

The maximum surgical blood order schedule and surgical blood use in the United States

The outdating of units of blood can be reduced by decreasing the amount of time they spend in an assigned or crossmatched status. This reduction can be achieved in a hospital by establishing a maximum surgical blood order schedule (MSBOS) which reduces the excessive number of units of blood crossmatched preoperatively for patients undergoing elective surgery. The various steps which occurred in the development of a MSBOS in a large general hospital are detailed and the projected reduction in the number of crossmatched units which can be achieved with the MSBOS is illustrated. illustrated. The projected number of units of blood transfused to patients during their hospitalization for 50 common primary surgical procedures in the United States during 1974 is presented as a basis for defining maximum blood orders for each procedure.     

An improved snare system for the nonsurgical retrieval of intravascular foreign bodies

We have modified a snare technique originally described for transcolonoscopic removal of colonic polyps for the retrieval of intravascular foreign bodies. The key difference from other snare techniques is the employment of a wire snare with a crimp in its midportion that enables the formation of a loop in a plane perpendicular to the axial direction of the guiding catheter. With this technique we have quickly removed a variety of objects from the right heart and pulmonary arteries in four patients.     

超细石墨插层化合物的制备及性能测试

以浓硫酸和重铬酸钾为强氧化剂,对2—5μm微粉石墨进行了浓硫酸和冰醋酸插层。通过控制反应物之间的比例,可制各出膨胀容积为7．6～13．6mL/g的超细石墨插层化合物。应用FTIR光谱仪和大气采样器研究了产物的红外消光能力和空中飘浮能力。结果表明,该产物与原石墨、市售可膨胀石墨相比有较大的空中飘浮能力及红外遮蔽能力。     

66kV电抗器局部放电试验可行性研究

对1台66 kV油浸式电抗器局部放电试验的可行性进行了研究。经分析计算,现有试验设备满足该电抗器局部放电试验的要求。     

区域控制偏差的动态内涵

随着互联电网的日趋复杂、技术的发展和更为先进的管理需求,对区域控制偏差的理解和运用应该与时俱进。文中从互联电网有功功率运行平衡控制性能评价的角度,对区域控制偏差和相关基本概念与理论进行了系统而深入的剖析,明确了频率偏差系数与相对应自然频率特性系数间的偏差是影响有功功率平衡控制准确性的关键,进而提出了应该在规划、计划和调度层面给出提高相关控制性能的措施。提出了动态自然频率特性系数和动态区域控制偏差时间序列等概念,可为新一代评价标准的设计提供新的思路。     

互联电网运行控制性能评价标准研究(三)新标准的指标设计

基于所提出的评价标准新构架和3个标准的设计思想,针对中国电网运行具体实际,对各标准指标的构造进行了理论探索,给出了3个标准的指标备选方案。其要点是:将行业标准中频率合格百分数指标转化为概率指标,以适应中国的电网质量考核方式;针对频率安全的实际关注点,设计积分型的频率安全标准指标形式,并给出了离散采样情况下的指标样式;无意交换电量标准中时段长度可选,可适应不同的结算时间尺度;对所设计的各项标准的重合度进行分析,明确了各标准同时设置的必要性。
