Recent results from LEPS and prospects of LEPS II at SPring-8
No full textSPring-8/LEPS is a GeV photon beam facility for hadron physics. The linearly polarized photon beam is produced by backward-Compton scattering of laser photons from 8 GeV electrons. We have studied photoproduction of hadrons which contain strange quarks. In this article, firstly, we report one of the recent results from LEPS, the κ(800) meson search in the γp → K*0Σ+ reaction. Secondly, the status of the construction of a new GeV photon beam line LEPS II is described

Physics motivations and the current status of LEPS II are described in this article
Verification Full Load Test Of 900 T/H (1,980,000 LB/H) Large Mechanical Drive Steam Turbine For ASU Up To 200 MW (268,000 HP) Based On Principle Of High Scale Model Similarity.
No full textLecturepg. 129-136In 2009, the authors designed a compressor drive steam turbine for air separation units (ASU) application up to 200 MW (268,000 hp), using large 500 mm (19.7 inch) blade rows, which have a low-pressure (LP) flow capacity of up to 900t/h (1,980,000 lb/h). These 500 mm (19.7 inch) blade rows were tested under actual load conditions between August and September 2008 at the authors��� shop, based on the principle of high scale model similarity. In conclusion, excellent results were obtained and the reliability of the blade rows was verified

Clinical Differences Between Survivors and Non-Survivors of Ventilator-Associated Pneumonia: The Roles of Sulbactam/Ampicillin and Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus

However, critical issues of non-survivors vary and are still unclear in VAP patients.Methods: The clinical differences between survivors and non-survivors of VAP were retrospectively analyzed in patients hospitalized from April 2023 to March 2024.Results: Of a total of 42 VAP patients, 22 (52.4%) survived, and 20 died. Survivors were significantly younger (69.1 vs 71.7 years, p < 0.01) and received sulbactam/ampicillin (SAM) as the initial antibiotics, significantly more (45.5% vs 10%, p = 0.006) than non-survivors. The male/female ratio and wards where they were managed were similar in both groups, but methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) was detected significantly more frequently in non-survivors (4/4 = 100%).Conclusion: These data suggest that VAP patients who survived were younger and received treatment with narrow-spectrum antibiotics, such as SAM. Isolation of MRSA might be critical. These findings could influence antibiotic protocols and ICU management strategies to prevent infection with resistant bacteria to improve the prognosis of patients with VAP.Keywords: Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, sulbactam/ampicillin, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, vancomycin, ventilator-associated pneumoni
Status and prospects of the LEPS2 solenoid spectrometer
No full textThe Laser Electron Photon Experiment at SPring-8 2 (LEPS2)
beamline is a photon beam facility focused on hadron physics research, located in Japan. Utilizing backward Compton scattering, it produces a γ-ray beam from an 8 GeV electron storage ring shot by UV-laser light. This beamline specializes in high polarization, achieving up to 90% near the maximum beam energy. The facility aims to study exotic hadrons such as exotic nuclei and meson-baryon molecule candidates. The investigation focuses on the production of hadrons containing strange quarks, with an emphasis on exploring the properties of kaons in nuclei, the Λ(1405) resonance, and related phenomena. The LEPS2 solenoid spectrometer, equipped with detectors for charged and neutral particles, has been operational since 2021, and
physics data collection has commenced. This article provides an update on the current status of the experiment
