    Natural convection in a shallow cavity with differentially heated end walls. Part 2. Numerical solutions

    Get PDF
    Numerical solutions of the full Navier-Stokes equations are obtained for the problem of natural convection in closed cavities of small aspect ratio with differentially heated end walls. These solutions cover the parameter range Pr = 6.983, 10 ≤ Gr ≤ 2x10^4 and 0.05 ≤ A ≤ 1. A comparison with the asymptotic theory of part 1 shows excellent agreement between the analytical and numerical solutions provided that A ≾ 0.1 and Gr^2A^3Pr^2 ≾ l0^5. In addition, the numerical solutions demonstrate the transition between the shallow-cavity limit of part 1 and the boundary-layer limit; A fixed, Gr → ∞

    The G.P. Obstetrician - Gone For Ever?

    I never accept proffered cups of tea during the course of duty — well, hardly ever. The one invariable exception used to be the inevitable cup offered by the proud new father: his one constructive act at the time of the delivery at a home confinement. What could be more happy, more natural, more satisfying that the birth of a new baby in the environment of its parents' home, in the midst of the family to which it was the newestaddition? When all went well — and that was undoubtedly the norm — the pleasure, indeed the unequivocal joy, of all concerned, parents, midwives, grannies, doctors — was one of the great abiding satisfactions of general practice.There was, though, an obverse side to the coin. The prolonged labour with exhaustion starting to supervene, the occasional limp, apnoeic babe, the mother bleeding steadily with placenta stuck, these could cause concern and anxiety and sometimes downright alarm never fully compensated for even by the existence of the most efficient flying squad

    The first purpose of this research was to establish the reliability of numerous measures obtained from a single and short duration repeated countermovement jump (CMJ) utilising a portable forceplate (Experimental Studies 1 and 2). Secondly, the response of reliable CMJ variables and T, C and T:C to a single elite level ARF match was assessed to identify the pattern of response and highlight those measures with the greatest potential for usefulness as monitoring tools across longer periods (Experimental Study 3). Finally, those variables identified as most valuable in Experimental Study 3 in addition to T, C and T:C; were measured throughout a season of elite ARF competition in order to examine the manner of their response and assess the magnitude of change in these variables in relation to performance and training and competition loads (Experimental Study 4)

    A model for pediatric neurocognitive interventions: considering the role of development and maturation in rehabilitation planning.

    Get PDF
    PublishedJournal ArticleThe need for post-acute neurorehabilitation after childhood acquired brain injury is increasingly recognized but recent reviews highlight the limited evidence-base and lack of a neuropsychological treatment model. Evidence from different fields was reviewed to inform the development of a pediatric neurocognitive interventions (PNI) model. The review included literature from child neuropsychology, adult neuropsychology, cognitive neuroscience, learning disabilities, education, and mental health. The resulting PNI model provides a systematic approach to delivering and evaluating appropriate care while minimizing the obstacles to successful outcomes. The model emphasizes the role of development and cognitive maturation in the planning of rehabilitation. Areas that represent significant gaps in our knowledge are discussed and future research directions are suggested based on predictions generated by the proposed model
