HARDWARE AND SOFTWARE COMPLEX FOR FUNCTIONAL STATE MONITORING OF MOTHER AND FETUS by I. V. Tolmachyov, K. S. Brazovsky, A. S. Tsverova, V. S. Ripenko

“…At first stage the fetal cardiointervalogram (i.e. fetus heartbeat period and the distribution pattern of these intervals in time) was studied. Second stage was carried out to search additional criteria of fetal functional state assessment with placental insufficiency in the pregnant with hyperandrogenism in the third trimester.As result, it was defined, that parameters of heart rate structure at 32–35 weeks of gestation allows to assess the risk of functional disorders and development of fetus hypoxia with sensitivity Se = 80% and specificity Sp = 73%.…”

Analysis and Evaluation of Temperature⁃Resistant Polyethylene Pipeline Operation in Oil Field by Bing HU, Yongli PANG, Chunyan ZHAO, Fuyong HUO, Xin DU

“…To address the lack of specialized thermal⁃hydraulic calculation models for temperature⁃resistant polyethylene pipelines in oilfield gathering and transportation systems,this study conducted quantitative analysis on their hydraulic friction characteristics and thermal temperature drop patterns during oil transportation through field experiments.Based on multi⁃parameter experimental datasets,systematic investigations were performed to reveal the influence mechanisms of key variables including fluid properties, transportation temperature,rate of water content,and flow rate on pipeline pressure drop and temperature decline.For the first time,a calculation framework for the overall heat transfer coefficient applicable to temperature⁃resistant polyethylene (TRPE ) materials was established.Simulation model libraries were constructed using PIPEPHASE software,followed by comparative analysis of deviations between theoretical predictions and field measurements under varying boundary conditions.Through this process, friction calculation models and heat conduction models tailored for TRPE materials were selected and optimized,which provide valuable theoretical support for the process design and safety evaluation of TRPE pipelines in engineering applications.…”

Numerical assessments of scour depth predictions downstream of box culverts under various flow and blockage conditions by Kaywan Othman Ahmed, Mohammad Reza Kavianpour, Ata Amini, Younes Aminpour

“…The analysis revealed that predictions from numerical models corresponded closely with experimental outcomes, although the scour depths calculated by the models were generally lower than those observed under both steady and unsteady flow conditions. While blockage rates notably impacted scour patterns in the first hydrograph of unsteady flows, increasing blockage percentages did not reliably result in proportional increases in scour depth, as seen in the second hydrograph for unsteady and both steady flow conditions.…”
