Supplemental oxygen can be administered through various ways, including low-flow systems, high-flow devices, positive-pressure ventilation, or extracorporeal oxygenation.... The administration of supplemental oxygen becomes critical when PaO2 [partial pressure of carbon dioxide] falls below 60 mm Hg [millimetres of mercury], at which point the steep portion of the curve indicates a rapid decline in oxygen saturation, leading to inadequate oxygen delivery to tissues. 2, record 1, English, - supplemental%20oxygen

Cleaned corn grain is washed thoroughly and then steeped for 36 to 40 hours in approximately twice its volume of water containing 0. 2% SO2 at a temperature of 46-50 [degrees] C. As the steep water is drawn from the corn it contains between 6 and 9 lbs of solids per 100 lbs of water. The corn should be soft to the touch, but must not be slimy or smeary-in the latter case it was steeped either too hot or too long. The steep liquor is then evaporated [under 25 mm Hg pressure] in a "Swenson" evaporator to what is called heavy steep liquor with a gravity of 16 to 20 [degrees] Bé and containing 50-60% of solids. In this form it is sold to manufacturer of antibiotics who may have their own specifications as to age, gravity and SO2 content. 4, record 9, English, - corn%20steep%20liquor

La solubilidad de un gas disminuye al aumentar la temperatura y es directamente proporcional a la presión del gas sobre el líquido. Esta relación entre la presión y la solubilidad de un gas se conoce como la ley de Henry, la cual puede enunciarse matemáticamente como C = kP, en donde C es la concentración del gas en la solución, P la presión del gas (en general, su presión parcial) sobre la solución y k es una constante de proporcionalidad, conocida como constante de la ley de Henry. 1, record 11, Spanish, - constante%20de%20la%20ley%20de%20Henry

In 1956, Harley and Pretorius described a simple discharge detector for gas chromatography based on the electrical properties of a glow discharge, the voltage across the gaseous discharge being a function of the type of gas present. Druyvesteyn and Penning in 1940 reviewed the complex nature of the glow discharge, noting that the discharge is maintained by electrons emitted from the cathode which result from processes related to positive ion bombardment, photoelectric emission, and collisions with excited atoms. When trace quantities of a material eluted from a chromatographic column enter the detector (consisting of a small platinum disk cathode and a tungsten wire anode), a voltage change resulted which was recorded. 2, record 18, English, - glow%20discharge%20detector

Thermionic or Electron Impact Detector. In 1957, Ryce and Bryce described a sensitive ionization gauge based on the ionization potentials of vapors. It comprised a filament, a grid, and a plate. The potential difference between the filament and grid accelerated electrons which may ionize any gas in their path. If the grid potential is maintained at a level insufficient to ionize the helium carrier gas... no current flows in the plate circuit. If a potential difference of 18 V is maintained between the filament and the grid, compounds of lower ionization potential in the helium will be ionized and the positive ions produced will yield a cathode current, the current noted being a measure of the ion concentration. Into the modified ionizing chamber, operated at reduced pressure, a small fraction of the column effluent gas stream(less than 0. 5%) was allowed to flow into the gauge through a controlled leak. Over a 0. 02-l. 5 mm Hg pressure range, the sensitivity was approximately proportional to the pressure, and sensitivities in the range of 10[ minus superscript 12] mole were claimed. 1, record 19, English, - electron%20impact%20detector
