Internal Podalic Version and Extraction the Decreasing Incidence at a General Hospital
No full textDuring his Residency in Obstetrics and Gynecology the author was impressed with the infrequency of internal podalic version and extraction at his institution. This procedure seemed to be relegated to a minor role in the handling of difficult obstetrical problems. The thought occurred that a perusal of the past record of versions at this hospital might in itself give tile clue to the apparent decreasing incidence and also possibly serve as a yardstick of the improvement in obstetrical care In a general hospital. | This study covers the years from January 1, 1926, to July 1, 1948. For purposes of comparison these years are divided into five-year periods, with the exception of the last period concerned, which is two and one-half years in length. The total number of births considered is 21,425 with a total number of 167 versions.ProQuest Traditional Publishing Optio

A study of acoustic cavitation and hydrogen production
No full textThis thesis presents a study of acoustic cavitation generated in an ultrasonic reactor, with the particular aim of enhancing hydrogen gas production and release. The stabilisation of cavitation clusters formed in a set of ultrasonic reactors is demonstrated. The highly stable cluster is induced by the positioning of a rod at the antinode of the sound field employed. These sound fields were characterised with a new technique based on particle imaging. Here adding rheoscopic particles within such reactors revealed a novel and useful method for the characterisation of standing wave fields. This observation was supported by pressure measurements using a hydrophone. In addition the stabilised cluster was investigated using an electrochemical method to monitor the erosion of the surface directly above the cluster, at short (10’s of ?s) and long (100’s of s) timescales. Both timescales indicate changes in the stability and nature of the cluster, which in turn is dependent on the local surface conditions (roughness) of the rod/electrode assembly.Low light level imaging of the stabilised cavitation cluster demonstrates the occurrence of sonochemiluminescence (SCL). It is shown that the spatial extent of light emitted via SCL is correlated with the pressure amplitude of the sound field. A visual ‘shimmer’ effect is also shown to be emanating from stabilised cavitation clusters. This is attributed to local heating which in turn induces refractive index changes, which are enhanced through the use of Schlieren imaging. This local cluster induced-heating of the liquid is quantified using a variety of physical measurements. Investigation into the ultrasonic enhancement of the production of molecular hydrogen from aluminium corrosion is made. This study showed that the sonochemical enhancement was insignificant compared to local heating effects associated with the sound field. Analysis of the performance of an electrolysis system, designed and manufactured by the project sponsors (HTOGO Ltd.), is reported. Measurement of the hydrogen gas produced by the system highlights a low Faradaic efficiency and long response time for gas release. An innovative method for the rapid release of gas via ultrasonic outgassing of a liquid reservoir, containing hydrogen and oxygen gas bubbles, is demonstrated. A novel optically isolated Coulter counter system for the in-situ determination of the size distribution of bubbles in a bubbly liquid reservoir is reported. This thesis illustrates the underpinning principles of this technique and the determination of the best calculation method for successful calibration and accurate measurement of the bubble size distributions generated in an electrochemical reactor. The knowledge gained and the new technology developed in this project is expected to accelerate and improve the development of the<br/

Trace element abundances in rutiles from eclogites and associated garnet mica schists
No full textWe present electron microprobe and laser ablation microprobe (LAM) data for a range of high field strength (Zr, Nb, Me, Sri, Sb, Hf, Ta, W) and other trace elements (Al, Si, Ca, V, Cr, Mn, Fe, Pb, Th, U) in rutile from eclogites and garnet mica schists, from Trescolmen. Central Alps. Most analysed rutiles are homogeneous (at least for Nb, Cr, W, Zr, V and Fe), both on a single grain scale and between grains from a single thin section. Concentrations of V, Zr, Nb, Sb and W determined by both electron and laser ablation microprobe techniques yield similar results and confirm the reliability of the analytical methods within estimated precision. Measurements of trace element contents of coexisting phases in eclogites and their modal abundances show that rutile is the dominant carrier ( > 90% of whole rock content) for Ti, Nb, Sb, Ta and W as well as an important carrier (5-45% of the whole rock content) for V, Cr, Me and Sri. The crystallographic implications are that, for relatively rigid crystal sites such as in rutile, trace elements with a similar ionic radius are preferred over trace elements with the same charge but deviating size. Our results demonstrate the utility of rutile chemistry in the following applications: (1) By using a combination of the measured TiO2 content of the whole rock and the trace element concentration of rutile, precise whole rock data on elements that are either difficult to analyze by conventional techniques such as XRF or solution ICP-MS (Nb, Sb, Ta, W) or may be susceptible to late stage alteration (Sb) can be estimated. (2) Trace element contents of detrital rutile grains are a potentially powerful toot for sedimentary provenance studies since they reflect key element ratios (e.g,, Nb/TiO2 and Cr/TiO2) of their source rocks. In addition, measurements of trace elements in detrital rutiles might help distinguish possible source rocks, e.g., high-grade metamorphic rocks such as eclogites and high-pressure granulites from hydrothermal ore deposits and kimberlites. In view of the dominance of rutile in the Sb budget of subducting oceanic crust, and the enrichment of Sb in the slab component of subduction zones. additional experimental studies on Sb-partitioning between rutile and fluid are needed in order to understand the behaviour of Sb in subduction zones.

Cs-Rb-Ba systematics in phengite and amphibole: an assessment of fluid mobility at 2.0 GPa in eclogites from Trescolmen, Central Alps
No full textEclogites from Trescolmen that contain abundant hydrous minerals (phengite, amphibole, paragonite, zoisite, talc, apatite) show petrographic evidence for fluid infiltration under conditions of 2.0 to 1.8 GPa, 650 degreesC. Large ion lithophile elements (LILE, e.g. Cs, Rb, Ba and Sr) were analysed by in-situ techniques in all eclogite mineral phases in order to characterize the behaviour of fluid-mobile elements at high pressure. In-situ analysis of carefully-chosen metamorphic assemblages circumvents the problem of partial late-stage alteration, which can severely influence the calculated element budgets of whole-rock samples. Phengite is the dominant host for Cs, Rb, and Ba in both eclogite and adjacent garnet mica schist samples, and incorporates > 90% of the budgets of these elements in whole rocks. LILE contents of phengites in phengite-rich rocks are likely to record the Cs/Rb and Ba/Rb ratios of their host rock protoliths. The LILE patterns of eclogite are consistent with protoliths derived from basalt that underwent seafloor alteration, whereas those of mica schist are almost identical to average upper continental crust. In contrast, LILE patterns of eclogite samples that lack phengite, but do contain amphibole, are unlike any plausible protolith, but are identical to those of amphibole in phengite-bearing samples. This observation points to homogenization of the LILE in different lithologies, which we correlate with petrographic evidence for fluid infiltration. Because phengite in garnet mica schist has a strong capacity to buffer the fluid with respect to Cs, Rb, and Ba, homogenization of amphiboles is best explained by fluid infiltration from the surrounding metapelites into eclogite bodies, implying at least metre-scale fluid mobility. The amphibole homogenization can be most easily modelled by a pervasive open-system fluid flux through the eclogites, possibly facilitated by ductile deformation during the early stages of uplift. Simple calculations give minimum fluid-rock ratios of similar to0.001 to 0.004. Demonstration of the mobility of very small volumes of fluid through eclogite is an important prerequisite of many subduction zone models that try to explain across-are variations in trace element geochemistry. The low fluid-rock ratios from this study are not in contrast with oxygen isotope heterogeneities reported from other eclogite localities. Fluid mobile elements such as Cs, Rb and Ba are more sensitive indicators of small volume, fluid-rock interaction and are therefore potentially valuable for understanding fluid infiltration processes in systems where oxygen isotope shifts are not large enough to be detectable
