Here, we present the results of numerical studies of biomass gasification using poultry litter, sewage sludge and wood waste (pine shavings) as examples of starting materials.The aim of the study was to find ways to increase the degree of biomass conversion to combustible gaseous products (CO, H2, CnHm) and to achieve high calorific value of the ge
Trial-level characteristics associate with treatment effect estimates: a systematic review of meta-epidemiological studies
Abstract Background To summarize the up-to-date empirical evidence on trial-level characteristics of randomized controlled trials associated with treatment effect estimates.Methods A systematic review searched three databases up to August 2020.Meta-epidemiological (ME) studies of randomized controlled trials on intervention effect were eligible.We
Criminal legal basis for an expedited trial procedure provided by the chapter 40 of the Russian Criminal Procedure Code
The subject of study is the criminal-legal basis for an expedited procedure for adopting a court ruling when the accused person agrees with the charge.These issues are relevant, since in July 2020 the substantive legal basis of the expedited procedure in Russia was changed and now this procedure can only be applied in criminal cases of small and me
Sexual Function Outcomes After Surgical Treatment of Penile Fracture
ABSTRACT: Introduction: Penile fracture is a urologic emergency and is defined as the rupture of the tunica albuginea of the cavernous body in erection.Aim: Our study aims to evaluate patients with penile fracture and to identify the factors that may influence the sexual function after surgical repair.Methods: A total of 138 patients who were diagn
Study on transient performance of tilting-pad thrust bearings in nuclear pump considering fluid-structure interaction
To study the lubrication performance of tilting-pad thrust bearing (TPTBs) during start-up in nuclear pump, a hydrodynamic lubrication model of TPTBs was established based on the computational fluid dynamics (CFD) method and the fluid-structure interaction (FSI) technique.Further, a mesh motion algorithm for the transient calculation of thrust bear
