A follow-up visit was conducted 1 year after percutaneous mitral valve repair, when echocardiography was performed. The primary endpoint was all-cause mortality at 1 year. Secondary endpoints were improvements in NYHA functional class and reduction in mitral r...

The hydraulic transients leading to vacuum formation are complex; therefore, they are best evaluated using one of many commercial incompressible flow pipe water hammer programs. This software greatly facilitates the design process by providing graphing and ani...

The team tested their system against data from 30 patients who had already undergone TAVR procedures, 15 of whom had developed leaks from valves that were too small. The researchers predicted, based on how well the sizer fit into the 3-D-printed models of thei...

NFPA 14 has both maximum and minimum allowable outlet pressures. Prior to 1993, the minimum allowable residual pressure (pressure when water is flowing) was 65 psi at the most remote outlet, usually the roof. Post-1993, that pressure was changed to 100 psi. Th...

No such luck anti-moon hoax fans. If they imagine that NASA could fake all of that moon landing footage how tough is it to imagine that they put some little spots on an orbital photograph? You know back in the day they could fake thousands of photos and videos...

Lastly, we will talk about distance of travel. NFPA 14 requires that the distance of travel from an outlet be no more than 130 feet in non-sprinklered buildings and no more than 200 feet in sprinklered buildings. If the distance of travel exceeds these numbers...

Robin: This is the historical fact that is being ignored by those who want to keep the premise alive that (a) human activity has caused the current increase in global temps, and (b) we have to do something about it. I’ve seen many charts of temperature ups and...

Concerning climate change; I have a theory that it’s more natural than man made; with a few exceptions: Deforestation has a big impact on the watershed.. air and land temps as well as less humidity in the air. The ocean currents are a system of the earth’s rot...
