高性能纺织品整理方法及其应用

1　加工方法1 1　涂层纺织品的涂层可在多种设备上完成 ,其中最常用的是使用刮刀、辊筒、凹辊、粘辊和背辊。用于生产给定的最终产品时 ,每一种设备都有其优缺点 ,所以在选择时 ,我们应该对以下几点进行认真考虑 :纺织品的性质 ;涂层剂的流变性及其他性质 ;涂层剂是泡沫型的还是浆料型的 ;涂层剂在常温下还是在热熔条件下使用。另外 ,非常值得我们考虑的还有涂层剂的用量 ,以及涂层剂是用在织物的表面 ,还是尽量充满到织物结构内。所有这些都要由最终产品的性质及所要求具有的特种功能来确定。当前 ,除了涂层剂及织物的普通性能外 ,人们还…

Training in firearm safety counseling in family practice residency programs

We have studied the function of partial orthotopic liver transplantation in the rat by evaluating prothrombin time (PT), liver blood flow, basal and glucose-stimulated insulin secretion and glucose tolerance, and the reticuloendothelial function (RES) in hepatectomized rats subjected to partial liver transplantation. A graft corresponding to 68% of a normal liver was transplanted to totally hepatectomized rats. Comparison was made between control rats and rats subjected to 32% liver resection. PT was not significantly different in the transplanted group compared with liver-resected and control rats. Laser Doppler flowmetry showed that at 28 days after surgery, blood flow had increased in the transplanted livers. Furthermore, on the third day after transplantation, basal plasma insulin was increased and the plasma insulin response to glucose was exaggerated, suggesting reduced insulin action and impaired insulin degradation. Finally, uptake of radioactive-labeled E. coli bacteria, as a measure of RES function, was not compromised in transplanted animals. Based on these results, we conclude that reduced-size liver transplant in out-bred rats results in fast normalization of liver function after surgery although, immediately after surgery, glucose intolerance is seen.     

Relation between sexual abuse in childhood and adult depression: case-control study

OBJECTIVE: To examine the association between sexual abuse in childhood and adult depression in women. DESIGN: Two stage, case detection and case identification design, using the 30-item general health questionnaire and the Beck depression inventory for screening and the affective items relating to current functioning on the schizophrenia and affective disorders schedule to identify depressed cases. Details of sexual abuse in childhood were elicited retrospectively by semistructured interview, and social problems by the social problems questionnaire. SETTING: Three general practices, in middle class suburban, deprived inner city, and rural areas. SUBJECTS: 1189 women were screened and 237 subsequently interviewed; 132 were depressed. RESULTS: 49 (37%) of the depressed interviews and 24 (23%) of the non-depressed interviews reported experience of sexual abuse when they were aged under 16 years. A positive association existed between the more severe abuse and depression--all those who had experienced penetration were depressed as adults. A relation was also found between sexual abuse in childhood and sexual problems, housing problems, and problems with their children at school. CONCLUSION: A positive association between child sexual abuse and depression was confirmed, but this was confined to more severe abuse (penetration or attempted penetration).     

Changes in medical stability upon admission to a rehabilitation unit

The implementation of Medicare's prospective payment system in acute care has coincided with a steady increase in medically unstable admissions to our freestanding rehabilitation facility. We investigated the consequences of these admissions by collecting medical information regarding transfers beginning in 1983. Patients requiring transfer back to the acute setting within 1 day of admission were considered medically unstable and their charts were reviewed. The number of patients requiring transfer back within 1 day increased from 1.5% of all first admissions to 3.1% in 1988 (Mantel - Haenszel chi 2 = 8.03, (df = 1), p < .01), but the increase among Medicare patients alone was not significant. This progressive increase was most pronounced in the cerebrovascular accident and spinal cord injury populations. Beginning in 1988, an intensified preadmission evaluation program was implemented, resulting in a significant decline in unstable patient transfers from hospitals where our consultants were on staff. Physiatric consultations at referral institutions decreased the number of unstable patients at admission.     

Family practice physicians' firearm safety counseling beliefs and behaviors

The purpose of this study was to identify family physicians' firearm safety counseling beliefs and behaviors. A survey was mailed to a random sample of 600 members of the American Academy of Family Physicians. A three wave mailing technique was used to maximize the response rate and yielded 271 usable surveys (55% response rate). Outcome measures included training experience in firearm safety counseling, the prevalence of firearm safety counseling by family physicians, and their perceptions regarding such counseling. The majority (78%) of family physicians lacked formal training on how to counsel patients about firearm safety and 49% believed more time should be spent in residency programs on firearm safety counseling. The majority (84%) of respondents never or rarely counseled patients on firearm safety and 50% believed firearm safety counseling should be a low priority in their delivery of primary care. The majority of respondents did not regularly counsel patients about firearm safety, did not believe firearm safety counseling should be a priority, and did not believe firearm safety counseling would be effective in reducing firearm-related trauma.     

Ampacities of power cables wound on reels

This paper presents a mathematical model that is capable of calculating the ampacity of a wide variety of power cable designs consisting of an arbitrary number of layers on a cable reel. The model considers round cables with copper conductors. The validity and accuracy of the ampacity model were verified by comparing the predicted temperature distribution within the reel with measured temperatures collected during an extensive testing program conducted at the US Bureau of Mines (USBM). The mathematical model predicted a temperature distribution within the cable layers that was very close to the measured variation in temperature. The value of the program is illustrated by calculating ampacities for several copper conductor sizes     

In vivo analysis of murine serum sulfate metabolism and splenic glycosaminoglycan biosynthesis during acute inflammation and amyloidosis

OBJECTIVE: Highly sulfated glycosaminoglycans (GAG) have been demonstrated in every form of amyloid examined to date. Based on temporal studies in murine amyloidogenesis heparan sulfate is deposited coincidentally with the amyloid protein. Our purpose was to follow in vivo GAG synthesis by monitoring 35SO4 incorporation during amyloidogenesis. Several necessary previously unexamined nonamyloidogenic controls were also examined. METHODS: Murine splenic amyloid was induced with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and amyloid enhancing factor (AEF). Splenic GAG synthesis was monitored by 35SO4 incorporation. Corrections were made for alterations in SO4 metabolism which occur during inflammation. RESULTS: All animals with an inflammatory reaction had a marked increase in GAG synthesis. Those animals receiving AEF, or AEF+LPS, had a significant increase in heparan sulfate synthesis. This was particularly profound in the group developing amyloid (i.e., AEF+LPS). CONCLUSION: Our results indicate that critical factors in amyloid deposition include quantitative as well as qualitative changes that take place in tissue GAG synthesis. A distinct metabolic effect of AEF is demonstrated for the first time.
