Flow study, long term

All three aspects of the Ink behavior—Initiation, short term steady flow, and long term response—may have Importance In Ink performance and are being studied In this program. This paper, however, focuses only on the short term steady flow regime and small amplitude oscillatory experiments. 

The objective of the present study is to develop a cross-flow filtration module operated under low transmembrane pressure drop that can result in high permeate flux, and also to demonstrate the efficient use of such a module to continuously separate wax from ultrafine iron catalyst particles from simulated FTS catalyst/ wax slurry products from an SBCR pilot plant unit. An important goal of this research was to monitor and record cross-flow flux measurements over a longterm time-on-stream (TOS) period (500+ h). Two types (active and passive) of permeate flux maintenance procedures were developed and tested during this study. Depending on the efficiency of different flux maintenance or filter media cleaning procedures employed over the long-term test to stabilize the flux over time, the most efficient procedure can be selected for further development and cost optimization. The effect of mono-olefins and aliphatic alcohols on permeate flux and on the efficiency of the filter membrane for catalyst/wax separation was also studied. 

Ellis et al. [72] recently studied the effects of short- and long-term vitamin C therapy in the patients with chronic heart failure (CHF). It was found that oxygen radical production and TBAR product formation were higher in patients with CHF than in control subjects. Both short-term (intravenous) and long-term (oral) vitamin C therapy exhibited favorable effects on the parameters of oxidative stress in patients the treatments decreased oxygen radical formation and the level of lipid peroxidation and improved flow-mediated dilation in brachial artery. However, there was no correlation between changes in endothelial function and oxidative stress.

Researchers found an increase in volume of isoflow, a decrease in change in flow while breathing helium compared to air at 50% vital capacity, and the continued presence of abnormal chest radiographs. The study suggests that there may be long-term respiratory effects following aspiration of ingested kerosene. 

The literature on vascular responses to dietary components [e.g., Fitzpatrick et al., 1995] has increased substantially in recent years. Short-term and long-term consumption of black tea was shown to reverse endothelial dysfunction in patients with coronary artery disease [Duffy et al., 2001]. On the acute shortterm time frame, which is taken here as the responses observed between 0 and 6 h, we demonstrated increases in flow-mediated dilation of the brachial artery upon intake of high-flavanol cocoa drink, but not of low-flavanol cocoa drink, in a crossover study [Heiss et al., 2003]. The effect of the flavanol-rich cocoa drink on flow-mediated dilation as well as the increase in circulating... 

In a 1995 study published by the British Journal of Urology, researchers found that khat chewing inhibits urine flow, an effect caused by blood vessel constriction, which also causes erectile dysfunction. This constriction also affects blood pressure and heart rate however, further studies are needed to determine the possible long-term cardiovascular damage associated with regular khat use.
