Abstract

In this article, we propose a mathematical analysis model for the generation of a proportional value of defining characteristics in nursing diagnoses. The study results are based on the logical-mathematical development of software specifically built for the generation of diagnosis hypotheses. The final calculation creates the sum of all defining characteristics found in each diagnosis, comparing it with the value of the V variable of the diagnosis, according to a mathematical rule that was set. It is concluded that the software needs to go through clinical validation in order to evaluate the pertinence of the rule proposed here.

Scaling of spontaneous imbibition data with wettability included.

Wettability is a dominant parameter governing spontaneous imbibition. However less attention has been paid to the effect of wettability on the scaling of spontaneous imbibition data. Actually few models can include wettability in scaling of spontaneous imbibition data. To this end, a scaling model has been developed for NAPL (oil)-saturated porous media with different wettability based on the fluid flow mechanisms in porous media. Relative permeability, capillary pressure, initial water saturation, and wettability are considered in the scaling model. Theoretically this scaling model is suitable for both cocurrent and countercurrent spontaneous imbibition. The experimental data of countercurrent spontaneous water imbibition at different wettability cannot be scaled using the frequently used scaling model but can be scaled satisfactorily using the scaling model developed in this study. An analytical solution to the relationship between recovery and imbibition time for linear spontaneous imbibition has also been derived in the case in which gravity is ignored. The analytical solution predicts a linear correlation between the recovery by spontaneous water imbibition and the square root of imbibition time, which has been verified against experimental data.

Implications of a kinematic wave model for first flush treatment design.

A deterministic model was developed to predict pollutant mass first flush and to utilize it for better design of best management practices (BMPs) that focus on treating the first flush. The model used the kinematic wave equation to calculate flow and mass transport, and erosion equations to calculate pollutant concentrations, which were assumed to be from a short and a long term source. The model parameters were calibrated with a parameter estimation procedure using three years' monitoring data from a highway runoff site in west Los Angeles. The simulation results showed that there exists an optimum watershed size to maximize first flush. Contours of watershed length, developed from simulations for different conditions of rainfall and watershed geometry, can be used to design runoff collection systems for highways and parking lots to maximize first flush.

An improved approximation for the Rayleigh wave equation.

We derive a simple expression, which gives an approximate value of the Rayleigh wave velocity in an isotropic solid. This approximation is five times better than that given by Viktorov. The velocity equation can be easily inverted in order to obtain an accurate determination of the elastic constants. This procedure can be worthwhile for elastic microanalysis of bulk materials by scanning acoustic microscopy.
