HRT [7 records]

Record 1 2022-03-30

English

Subject field(s)
  • Ovens, Furnaces and Boilers (Heating)
DEF

A boiler in which the water to be vaporized is housed in a drum through which horizontal tubes (fire tubes) are run.

CONT

Fire-tube boilers may be designed for vertical, inclined, or horizontal positions. One of the most generally used types is the horizontal-return-tube(HRT) boiler. In the HRT boiler, part of the heat from the combustion gases is transferred directly to the lower portion of the shell. The gases then make a return pass through the horizontal tubes or flues before being passed into the stack.

CONT

The ... horizontal return tube boiler ... gets it’s name from the horizontal fire tubes which run back-to-front through the lower half of the boiler drum. The gas burner is located under the front half of the boiler drum. The hot gases then pass to the rear of the fire box where they turn round and return to the front via the fire tubes and into the smoke box. (see this picture for a clearer description).

OBS

Gases from an external furnace are passed through the tubes for heat transfer to the drum water.

Domaine(s)
  • Fours et chaudières (Chauffage)
CONT

Les chaudières en fonte sectionnées sont réservées aux moyennes puissances (jusqu'à 1300 kW). Les chaudières de grande puissance (jusqu'à 5800 kW) sont généralement des chaudières sectionnées en acier, ou des chaudières à tubes de fumée verticaux ou horizontaux. Dans ce type de chaudières, les fumées effectuent un parcours dans des tubes qui servent de récupérateur et où elles perdent leur chaleur résiduelle.

Zondek, en 1930, observó que la orina de yegua preñada contenía cantidades mayores de estrógenos, señalando que la yegua preñada excreta más estrógeno que la mujer durante el embarazo, obteniéndose de forma reproducible cantidad suficiente de material estrogénico por cada litro de orina.

Record 6 2000-12-21

English

Subject field(s)
  • Biochemistry
  • Molecular Biology
  • Water Treatment (Water Supply)
DEF

Flow reactor in which the contents are well mixed, so that the effluent composition is the same as that in the reaction vessel.

DEF

A complete-mix reactor with inflow and outflow.

CONT

Continuous flow stirred tank reactor... Fluid particles that enter the reactor are assumed to be instantaneously and uniformly dispersed throughout its entire volume. Hydraulic retention time(HRT) of CFSTR(flow/volume) is the average time of particles’ residence in the reactor, however, theoretically a particle can enter and leave CFSTR in an instant or remain in the reactor for a very long time.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Biochimie
  • Biologie moléculaire
  • Traitement des eaux
CONT

Le réacteur continu agité est caractérisé par une composition et un état instantanés du mélange réactionnel parfaitement uniformes dans tout le volume qui lui est offert. Cette condition est remplie si les réactifs ajoutés sont mélangés dans un temps infiniment court et si la recirculation interne est telle que le temps mis par une molécule pour aller d'un point quelconque du réacteur à un autre est infiniment petit devant le temps de passage. Il en résulte que le courant de produits extraits du réacteur a la même composition instantanée que le mélange réactionnel.

CONT

The prevailing indication is, of course, menopausal symptoms, but many Japanese gynaecologists are well informed about the latest research on prevention of osteoporosis. The preferred regimen is monotherapy with estriol, or conjugated oestrogens combined with cyclical progestogen. The oestrogen patch has been introduced lately. In addition to HRT, Japanese doctors prefer prescribing vitamin D3, vitamin K, and calcitonin for inhibition of bone calcium absorption. Calcium supplementation is also considered important in order to recover bone loss and balance low calcium uptake from dietary sources. Furthermore, Japanese physicians favour prescribing antihyperlipaemic drugs such as HMG-CoA-reductase inhibitors and the like.

Deux solutions pourraient venir faciliter l'administration du TSH : des «patchs matriciels» à action prolongée (1 semaine) apparaissent. Et les «patchs» mixtes oestroprogestatifs? Pour l'instant, seule est proposée la juxtaposition d'un «patch» oestrogénique et d'un «patch» progestatif.
