For this purpose, the decomposition of Cu(OH)_(2) into CuO is studied in a time range up to 120 h, by subjecting the sample to morphological, structural, and spectroscopic characterizations. The time evolution of thermal diffusivity can be divided into three regions for demonstrating the dynamics of the reaction. When the reaction is complete, the thermal diffusivity is also found to be saturated. In addition to the morphological modifications,from rods to flakes, the variations in the amount of hydroxyl group are attributed to be responsible for the enhancement of base fluid's thermal diffusivity by 165%. Thus the study unveils the role of hydroxyl groups in the thermal behavior of CuO.展开更多

The development of endovascular stent grafts in combination with aortic debranching has produced results at least comparable to the more traditional surgical approach, but with considerably less comorbidity. We describe a technique for debranching of the aortic arch without the use of circulatory support, and in doing so creating a landing zone for thoracic endovascular aneurysm repair (TE-VAR). Although this procedure has been described, innovative features of our technique include transection of the left hemisternum to produce excellent surgical exposure, and ligation of the debranched arch vessels to prevent Type II endoleaks following TEVAR. Additionally, by not using mechanical circulatory support, we remove the associated pathophysiological insult, inflammatory response, and coagulopathy that is synonymous with cardiopulmonary bypass. There is also no need for circulatory arrest, with its associated perils.展开更多
