Residence time distribution in holding tubes using generalized convection model and numerical convolution for non-ideal tracer detection

A procedure is proposed for the determination of the residence time distribution (RTD) of curved tubes taking into account the non-ideal detection of the tracer. The procedure was applied to two holding tubes used for milk pasteurization in laboratory scale. Experimental data was obtained using an ionic tracer. The signal distortion caused by the detection system was considerable because of the short residence time. Four RTD models, namely axial dispersion, extended tanks in series, generalized convection and PER + CSTR association, were adjusted after convolution with the E-curve of the detection system. The generalized convection model provided the best fit because it could better represent the tail on the tracer concentration curve that is Caused by the laminar velocity profile and the recirculation regions. Adjusted model parameters were well cot-related with the now rate. (C) 2010 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Investigation of the residence time distribution in a plate heat exchanger with series and parallel arrangements using a non-ideal tracer detection technique

The objective was to study the flow pattern in a plate heat exchanger (PHE) through residence time distribution (RTD) experiments. The tested PHE had flat plates and it was part of a laboratory scale pasteurization unit. Series flow and parallel flow configurations were tested with a variable number of passes and channels per pass. Owing to the small scale of the equipment and the short residence times, it was necessary to take into account the influence of the tracer detection unit on the RID data. Four theoretical RID models were adjusted: combined, series combined, generalized convection and axial dispersion. The combined model provided the best fit and it was useful to quantify the active and dead space volumes of the PHE and their dependence on its configuration. Results suggest that the axial dispersion model would present good results for a larger number of passes because of the turbulence associated with the changes of pass. This type of study can be useful to compare the hydraulic performance of different plates or to provide data for the evaluation of heat-induced changes that occur in the processing of heat-sensitive products.

Rosuvastatin and Cardiovascular Events in Patients Undergoing Hemodialysis

Background Statins reduce the incidence of cardiovascular events in patients at high cardiovascular risk. However, a benefit of statins in such patients who are undergoing hemodialysis has not been proved. Methods We conducted an international, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, prospective trial involving 2776 patients, 50 to 80 years of age, who were undergoing maintenance hemodialysis. We randomly assigned patients to receive rosuvastatin, 10 mg daily, or placebo. The combined primary end point was death from cardiovascular causes, nonfatal myocardial infarction, or nonfatal stroke. Secondary end points included death from all causes and individual cardiac and vascular events. Results After 3 months, the mean reduction in low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol levels was 43% in patients receiving rosuvastatin, from a mean baseline level of 100 mg per deciliter (2.6 mmol per liter). During a median follow-up period of 3.8 years, 396 patients in the rosuvastatin group and 408 patients in the placebo group reached the primary end point (9.2 and 9.5 events per 100 patient-years, respectively; hazard ratio for the combined end point in the rosuvastatin group vs. the placebo group, 0.96; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.84 to 1.11; P = 0.59). Rosuvastatin had no effect on individual components of the primary end point. There was also no significant effect on all-cause mortality (13.5 vs. 14.0 events per 100 patient-years; hazard ratio, 0.96; 95% CI, 0.86 to 1.07; P = 0.51). Conclusions In patients undergoing hemodialysis, the initiation of treatment with rosuvastatin lowered the LDL cholesterol level but had no significant effect on the composite primary end point of death from cardiovascular causes, nonfatal myocardial infarction, or nonfatal stroke.

Tricho-rhino-phalangeal syndrome: first brazilian case

Thrico-rhino-falangeal syndrome is a rare genetic disease characterized by the presence of typical alterations with a long, bulbous nose, hair alterations, a long flat philtrum, and one-shaped epiphyses of the phalanges. We describe herein the first Brazilian case of a 24-year-old woman with thrico-rhino-falangeal syndrome type I. Physical examination demonstrated typical nose and hair abnormalities, and one-shaped epiphyses of the phalanges, and the genetic study confirmed the diagnosis. Thrico-rhino-falangeal syndrome is characterized by musculoskeletal alterations that at the first view may simulate juvenile idiopathic arthritis. These musculoskeletal deformities could imply the differential diagnosis with rheumatic diseases.

As espécies de Simira (Rubiaceae, Rondeletieae) da Amazônia Brasileira

RESUMOO gênero Simira está representado na Amazônia brasileira por oito espécies: S. pisoniiformis, S. macrocrater, S. corumbensis, S. tinctoria, S. hadrantha, S. rubescens, S. paraensis e uma nova espécie descrita para o Mato Grosso, S. pilosa. Dessas, S. rubescens é a que apresenta maior dispersão sendo frequente na Amazônia brasileira, venezuelana e peruana. S. pisoniiformis ocorre na Amazônia brasileira e venezuelana, encontrando-se, porém, uma população disjunta no sul da Bahia. S. hadrantha, conhecida apenas para o Peru, é citada pela primeira vez para o Brasil. Os caracteres taxonômicos de maior significância para a identificação das espécies são a prefloração e pilosidade da carola, número de pares de nervuras secundárias nas folhas e consistência e abertura da cápsula.
