With watercooled inline engines, the main part of vibration energy is transmitted from cobustion chamber via crankdrive components to the noise radiating external surface, the natural vibration modes of the force transmitting parts exerting the main influence on the vibration transfer. The prediction elaborated by theoretical considerations, that engines the casing of which consist of cast aluminium produce an essentially higher noise level compared to engines made of cast iron, could not be confirmed with running engines. The position of the axial bearing of crankshafts with inline engines as well as the mass of crankshaft pulleys have a certain influence on the noise radiated by crankshaft pulleys. The measures vibration isolation of the pulley as well as the noise attenuating enclosure, however, are much more effective. With exhaust pipe systems sufficient vibration attenuation can be achieved by means of corrugated pipes and socalled piston ring compensators, the arrangement being very advantageous. The vibration isolation of air intake and cooling water pipes can be carried out by means of flexible rubber tubes.

The pathophysiology of these injuries differs, depending upon the phase of diving in which the injuries occur. In this report, 23 cases of hearing loss, tinnitus, and/or vertigo occurring during or shortly after decompression are presented. Thirteen of these cases occurred in helium-oxygen dives involving a change to air during the latter stages of decompression. A significant correlation is present between prompt recompression treatment, relief of symptoms, and lack of residual deficits. Current knowledge indicates that the management of otologic decompression sickness should include: 1. prompt recompression to at least 99 feet deeper than the symptom onset depth; 2. recompression using the previous helium-oxygen mixture when the injuries occur during or shortly after a switch from helium-oxygen to air during the latter stages of decompression; 3. the use of parenteral diazepam for symptom relief and cyclic inhalations of oxygen enriched treatment gases; and 4. the avoidance of further diving by divers who exhibit permanent inner ear injuries after the acute symptoms have subsided.

On moving the animals to another laboratory there was a 2-5 fold increase in breeding rate. The most likely explanation of this change was the presence of copper in the drinking water at the 1st laboratory, due to the use of copper water pipes. The data relating to maintenance and breeding of acomys for 2 years at the 2nd laboratory were analyzed to provide a more representative picture of the species.

On bacterial aftergrowth in drinking and industrial water. II. Apparative and processing influence upon the growth and the possibility of disinfection of ion exchange resin filter systems	1975	Zent. Hyg., Johann Wolfgang Goethe Univ., Frankfurt/M.	Read more...

ZBL.BAKT.REIHE B Pub Date Free Form 1975/ Volume 161 Issue 3 Start Page 248 Other Pages 265 Notes Place of Publication ISSN/ISBN Accession Number Language SubFile DOI Output Language Unknown(0) PMID Abstract The comparative examination of numerous ion exchange resin filter systems for discontinuous water softening on the market revealed that apparative and processing characteristics are of great influence upon the aftergrowth of bacteria in the water of ion exchange resin systems. Within the examination it was taken into consideration that on the end delivery tube of the water pipe the conditions of the colony count were more unfavorable during the long standstill over a weekend than during the week. The less favorable conditions have therefore been examined separately. The work has been divided into six test series. In the first, 5 ion exchange resin systems of types A E are simultaneously tested for colony count in the water at the inflow to the apparatus and after its passage; regeneration was accomplished twice a week with sodium chloride. The data ascertained in the course of several weeks (without first data on mondays) and the separated monday data are examined according to logarithmic transformation with the assistance of variance analysis and the Newman Keuls test for differences. The results show that apparative parameters and those relevant to the technical process have an influence upon the bacterial aftergrowth in the water. The most favorable ion exchange resin filter is type E because it shows more favorable values than all other systems and the tapwater. In the second test series the systems A E were regenerated with 1% Chloramin T containing sodium chloride. The results show again the type E as the statistically significantly most favorable system in comparison with the others and the tapwater. In the third test series it has been examined whether the long period of standstill of the brine in the resin (which has probably been responsible for the good results of the type E) would lead to values just as favorable if transferred to another type of apparatus. Systems of type D were used which are substantially different to type E in various ways. The time of brine contact and the time of backwashing was varied. The results show differences. After statistical evaluation, however, it was found that they are not significant. In order to prove whether the period of standstill in a test apparatus N constructed according to the essential characteristics of type E has influence upon the bacterial growth within the system, two softeners of this kind were examined during the regeneration process with 15 and 30 min standstill of the brine after rising brining. The results demonstrate a significant difference between the weekly average colony count between 15 and 30 min of standstill. This proves that the favorable results of type E are due to the rising brining and a period of standstill of the brine at a minimum of 30 min in the resin bed. In the fifth test series it has been examined with two systems of type E whether a significant difference exists between system E1 with regeneration with 1% Chloramin T containing sodium chloride and system E2 with regeneration with normal sodium chloride. The results demonstrate an obvious difference which can also be proved statistically. This proves that under these apparative conditions with the rising brining an efficacious disinfection can be carried out. For clarification of the question of disinfection in the sixth test series it was found that by higher concentration of sodium chloride the bactericidal action of disinfectants is intensified.

Particular significance attaches to microbial contamination during direct contacts of the population with water of reservoirs, during short term and long term recreation periods; such contamination is of importance in connection with the extensive development of recreation institutions for long term rest, located in the direct vicinity of water reservoirs. A number of problems are associated with self cleaning of water reservoirs (such as association of microbial, chemical and thermal pollution, determination of the correlation between health important microflora, pathogenic enterobacteria and viruses). A certain barrier role is effected by existing water pipe systems with respect to the most common chemical pollutants and pathogenic microflora. Formidable tasks face hygienists under the existing conditions of ever increasing microbial contamination of water reservoirs. (12 references).

Pub Date Free Form 1975/ Volume 30 Issue 26 Start Page 871 Other Pages 876 Notes Place of Publication ISSN/ISBN Accession Number Language SubFile DOI Output Language Unknown(0) PMID Abstract This article proposes to describe the theoretical expectations involved in sewage system design. Sewage sludge corresponds in the study of liquids to a 'conglomerate' in the mineral world, that is, a 'hetergeneous water suspension'. Only three properties are clearly identifiable: the percentage of solid material to water; friction characteristics along the pipe walls; and increased viscosity at higher temperatures. These are discussed in some detail. The formulas of Bingham, Babbitt, and Caldwell are presented in their application to density, coefficient of internal viscosity, friction along the walls, and the graphics of design. Calculations are illustrated by examples. Roles for pipeline design are given for gravity piping and for pump installations.

Pub Date Free Form / Volume 54 Issue 3 Start Page 866 Other Pages 871 Notes Place of Publication ISSN/ISBN 0032-5791 Accession Number Language SubFile DOI Output Language Unknown(0) PMID Abstract For flock vaccination, B1-type LaSota Newcastle disease water vaccine was used in chicken under commercial cage layer conditions using two different methods, Swish Corporation pipes and cups, and stainless stell troughs, in an effort to determine their effectiveness. The concentration of virus in trough and cup samples collected at the beginning and the end of the lines were the same except in one instance where little or no virus was transported to the end of the trough. Satisfactory results were obtained when the test was repeated a year later. Serum HI titers determined before and after vaccination demonstrated adequate flock serum titers and indicated that both methods of application were reasonably effective. In laboratory trials, different water pipes (black, polyvinyl chloride pipe and Hart cups, green, polyvinyl chloride pipe and Swish cups, and old, rusty, galvanized pipe) normally used in cage operations were tested. Our findings indicated that dried skim milk powder (DSMP) was essential in stabilizing vaccine virus in the containers tested and that an adequate vaccine virus concentration was maintained in the three types of pipe tested when DSMP was used. Without DSMP the vaccine titers were adversely affected.

Mono Line is an engineered pipe with a wall thickness based on internal operating pressures and pipe size. It is a pipe designed for direct burial; a high degree of resistance to chemicals makes it ideal for carrying effluents, waste and sewage. It was particularly suitable for the St. Paul yards installation, since leaching action through the cinder fill set up corrosive sulfuric acid conditions destructive to ordinary pipe material.

Its present day applications include batteries, roofing, water pipes and radioactive shielding. Lead compounds are used in the paint industry, as additives to gasoline, in the glass industry, in type making and in pesticides. Lead can also be released in the atmosphere through natural means, such as forest fires and volcanic activity. Ten times as much lead arrives in the atmosphere from human activities, and the greatest part originates with the burning of gasoline. Lead exists in the atmosphere in particles. The concept of the Mass Equivalent Diameter (MED) used in measuring these particles is described as the fictitious diameter which is equivalent to the diameter of a pure spherical particle of a mass with the same falling speed as the particle in question. Mobility of these particles in exhaust gases is discussed. Lifetime in the atmosphere is also important, and appears to range from 20 to 40 days. Lead is also released into the soil and waters, and its concentration has increased sharply since World War II as a result of increased gasoline consumption on a world scale.
