As part of the SAFElevee project Delft University of Technology collabored with Flanders Hydraulics Research, and Infram B.V.in the preperation and execution of a full scale embankment breach experiment in November 2015.This breach experiment was performed on an 3.5m high embankment with a sand core and clay outer layer situated along the tidal riv
Methods for Treatment of Malignant Pleural Effusion
This brief review provides up-to-date information on the management of malignant pleural effusions (MPE).In Wine Coolers general, selection of the most appropriate treatment approach should be individualized.Management of MPE relies on tumor type, pulmonary re-expansion, performance status, symptoms, and life expectancy.Pleurodesis and IPC placemen
Investigating the role of divertor geometry on density build-up in the island divertor
The island divertor has been proposed for power and particle exhaust in stellarators.It is investigated in the Wendelstein 7-X (W7-X) experiment.The divertor capabilities such as particle exhaust or radiative power dissipation scale with the divertor density.However, significantly lower divertor density NAILS has been obtained in W7-X in comparison
Vulnerability of mariculture areas to oil-spill stress in waters north of the Shandong Peninsula, China
Mariculture plays an important role in providing humans with a stable source of aquatic products, but oil spills have both real and perceived effects on mariculture facilities and stocks.This study developed an oil-spill environmental-vulnerability model to assess and map the vulnerability of FENNEL TOOTHPASTE mariculture areas by integrating vario
Does NSAID exacerbated respiratory disease (N-ERD) accompanying severe asthma affect biological treatment response? Efficacy of omalizumab and mepolizumab in N-ERD
Introduction: Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID)-exacerbated respiratory disease (N-ERD) accompanies severe asthma in about 15% of the patients and may adversely affect the prognosis.Omalizumab and mepolizumab are biologics used in patients with severe asthma.The objective of this study is to assess the respiratory improvements, after the
