TURBULENT AND VISCOUS SEDIMENT TRANSPORT – A NUMERICAL STUDY

Turbulent and viscous sediment transport – a numerical study

Sediment transport is studied as a function of the grain to fluid density ratio using two phase numerical simulations based on a discrete element method (DEM) for particles coupled to a continuum Reynolds averaged description of hydrodynamics.At a density ratio close to unity (typically under water), sediment transport occurs in a thin layer at the

A pilot study to evaluate the magnitude of association of the use of electronic personal health records with patient activation and empowerment in HIV-infected veterans

The HITECH Act signed into law in 2009 requires hospitals to provide patients with electronic access to their health information through an electronic personal health record (ePHR) in order to receive Medicare/Medicaid incentive payments.Little is known about who uses these systems or the impact these systems will have on patient outcomes in HIV ca
