EFFECT OF THERMO-COUPLED PROCESSES ON THE BEHAVIOUR OF A CLAY BARRIER SUBMITTED TO HEATING AND HYDRATION
The storage of high level radioactive waste is still an unresolved problem of the nuclear industry, being geological disposal the most favoured option and, naturally, the one requiring the strongest geo-mechanical input. Most conceptual designs [...]
PROGRESS AND BARRIERS FOR THE CONTROL OF DIARRHOEAL DISEASE
Discovery of intestinal sodium-glucose transport was the basis for development of oral rehydration solution, and was hailed as potentially the most important medical advance of the 20th century. Before widespread use of oral rehydration solution, [...]
THE IMPACT OF TIMING OF MAXIMAL CRYSTALLOID HYDRATION ON EARLY GRAFT FUNCTION DURING KIDNEY TRANSPLANTATION
BACKGROUND: Early graft function is crucial for successful kidney transplantation. Maintaining adequate hydration is complicated by rapid movement of water to the extravascular space. We designed this study to test the effect of maximal hydration [...]
EVALUATION OF ULTRASOUND VELOCITY TO ASSESS THE HYDRATION STATUS OF WRESTLERS
The objective of this study was to evaluate the utility of ultrasound velocity (UV) to detect changes in the hydration status of wrestlers after undergoing acute dehydration and a 2-hour rehydration period. Forty-seven NCAA wrestlers [...]
