Outflow 698 INDEX

While Na deficiency will increase the juxtaglomerular index (JGl) of tlie kidney and will result in increased Aldo secretion, division of the common bile duct also increases the JGI but does not necessarily result in ascites or an elevated Aldo secretion32. Surgical relief of an otherwise intractable hyperaldosteronism resulting from severe hepatic outflow obstruction is achieved by a side-to-side portacaval shunt33. 

Patients with left atrial hypertension may have an elevated pulmonary vascular resistance because the cardiac index is low, the pulmonary vasculature is constricted, or there is fixed pulmonary vascular obstructive disease with a reduction in recruitable lung vessels. Peroperative assessment may be aimed at increasing cardiac output with drugs such as dobutamine or by combining vasodilation and an increase in cardiac output with drugs such as nitroprusside or prostacyclin. The use of catecholamines or systemic vasodilators is not without risk, especially in patients with left ventricular outflow tract obstruction, as in two of our patients, or in patients with... 

Figure 1 shows the different possibilities in a two-column system with two components. At the inlet of a column, it is possible to feed the mixture to be separated (e.g. molasses), the eluent (e.g. water), or the outflow from some other column. At the outlet of a column, one can collect the products or re-use the outcome for further separation. These decisions are modeled using binary variables, yj, ykij and Xku, as illustrated in Figure 1. The times when these decisions are made are denoted by i , tr, where to = 0. The number of intervals is denoted by T and the length of the period by t = tr- The index i denotes which binary variables are valid during the time interval The indexes k and /...

A massive phytochemical survey by the U.S. Department of Agriculture [610] has identified a number of useful sources of L-dopa, the most promising being cultivated velvet beans. However, the microbiological hydroxylation of A-formyl-L-tyrosine esters [436] can be duplicated chemically in excellent yield by the use of benzoyl peroxide in chloroform [611]. Reports state that L-dopa from Japanese sources is superior to that from the U.S.A. [612]. Suitability of patients for L-dopa therapy can be assessed by determination of homovanillic acid and 5-hydroxyindole-3-acetic acid levels before and after treatment with probenecid [613, 614]. This drug reduces the outflow of brain monoamine metabolites into the blood and provides an index of the degree of... 

Profitability index is related to NPV analysis. For simple projects that have an initial cash outlay followed by a series of cash inflows, profitability index is a good way to rank and choose projects when it is not possible to select all projects. Profitability index is the present value of the project s cash inflows divided by the project s initial cash outflow. 

Numerous experimental researches show lhat the streams of a liquid outflowing from a hole on medium of gas, pulse (Vitman, 1953 Vitman, 1961 and Miesse, 1955). Under certain conditions the liquid pulsation fade-ins along a stream and leads to its disintegration on drops [13-19]. Character of intermittent motion depends on the nozzle form from which the stream, liquid index of turbulence in flush, physical properties of a liquid and gas and their relative speed outflows [20-28].
