Criteria for Brain Death. The criteria for the determination of brain death were developed such that any physician in any milieu could confidently diagnose it. All criteria must be met before a diagnosis of brain death can be made : The patient must be unconscious. The patient must be unable to breathe spontaneously and would therefore be on a ventilator. There must be no response to external stimuli(verbal, pain). There must be no response(eye movement) to passive head movements or to ice water syringed into the ears. There must be no blinking in response to touching the cornea. There must be no pupil response to a bright light shone into the eyes. The patient must be unable to maintain blood pressure, control fluids and electrolytes or body temperature. 4, record 2, English, - criteria%20for%20brain%20death

Critères de la mort cérébrale. Les critères établis pour déterminer la mort cérébrale ont été conçus de façon que tout médecin puisse, quel que soit le milieu, faire le diagnostic en toute confiance. La conjugaison de tous les critères est nécessaire pour diagnostiquer la mort cérébrale. Le malade est inconscient. Le malade est incapable de respirer spontanément et ne peut donc respirer qu'à l'aide d'un appareil respiratoire. Absence de réaction aux stimuli externes (parole, douleur). Absence de réaction (mouvements de l'œil) aux mouvements passifs de la tête ou à l'injection d'eau glacée dans les oreilles. Absence de clignement de la paupière lorsqu'on touche à la cornée. Absence de réaction de la pupille lorsqu'un faisceau lumineux intense est pointée sur l'œil. Le malade est incapable de maintenir sa tension artérielle, de contrôler ses liquides organiques, de maintenir son équilibre électrolytique ou de contrôler la température du corps. 2, record 2, French, - crit%C3%A8res%20de%20la%20mort%20c%C3%A9r%C3%A9brale

A reactor pressure vessel(RPV) of a boiling water reactor(BWR) typically has a generally cylindrical shape and is closed at both ends, e. g., by a bottom head and a removable top head. A core assembly is contained within the RPV and includes the core support plate, fuel assemblies, control rod blades and a top guide. A core shroud typically surrounds the core assembly and is supported by a shroud support structure. Particularly, the shroud has a generally cylindrical shape and surrounds both the core plate and the top guide.

A Soltau Model RVS 250-AS-STS microtunneling machine with a slurry spoil removal system was selected on a lease arrangement to install the 24-in. sewer line. A mixed face cutting head configuration was selected in anticipation of the varying ground conditions. The unit is supplied with high pressure water jets which have proven effective in boring through dense clays. The RVS 250-AS-STS involves two new innovations. First, it utilizes a state-of-the-art laser guidance system coupled with a completely digital operator control panel with continuous, up-to-date information on the tunneling process. A data logger, which can record data at specific time intervals or length of pipe jacked, also provides for a permanent record of the operation. 1, record 4, English, - microtunneling%20machine

The curtain coater comes in two types :(1) pressure head and(2) gravity feed. The pressure head is essentially a V-shaped reservoir made airtight by a removable cover and fitted across the bottom with an adjustable gap. A variable-speed, positive-displacement pump sends adhesive into the reservoir. Spread control is determined by the width of the knife gap, the pump speed, and the viscosity of the glue... The gravity feed system is the forerunner of the pressure head. The application method is quite similar, with one important difference : the curtain velocity cannot be controlled. The curtain falls as a waterfall, the weight controlled by mass and height. 1, record 8, English, - curtain%20coater

High-Consistency System. Figure 11-18 shows a representative system where pulp is handled in the 25% to 28% consistency range. Typically, a press is used to raise the feed consistency to about 30%. Fresh caustic or oxidized white liquor along with the magnesium protector is added to the pulp at the discharge of the press. A thick stock pump then transfers the pulp to a fluffer via a feed pipe in which a gas-tight plug is formed. The fluffed pulp flows down the pressurized reactor as a loose bed, while gaseous oxygen is continuously dissolved into the liquid phase and reacted with the pulp.... Oxygen gas is added to either top or bottom to maintain a partial pressure within the 90 to 130 psi range. Relief is taken from the head space at the top of the tower to remove combustibles and other noncondensible gases, and control overall reactor pressure. At the bottom of the tower, the reacted pulp is diluted with post-oxygen filtrate and pumped at about 6% consistency to a blow tank. 2, record 10, English, - high%2Dconsistency%20oxygen%20delignification
