[Studies on the performance of the dental air turbine handpieces. (Part 1). Air pressure and bur length to be influenced over the rotational performance of the air bearing type handpieces (author's transl)].

Air turbine handpieces are used as the dental cutting instruments for the clinical use and many appliances. But, there are no studies on the performance of air turbine handpieces. So, this paper shows the rotational performance of air turbine handpieces which are influenced over the supplying air pressure and cutting bur length. Experimentally used air turbine handpieces is air bearing type and it's set up air pressure to be supplied is 3.5 kg/cm2. So, in this experiments, the range of air pressure is 1.8 approximately 3.5 kg/cm2, which is established five stages. And the bur length of the rotational parts is 5 approximately 9 mm with five steps. As the results, the rotational performance of air handpieces are influenced over these factors of the air pressure and the bur length. And air pressure to be supplied are influenced to be not only over the rotational speed but the load for the putting a stop to the revolutions.

The effect of air ionization on the air-borne transmission of experimental Newcastle disease virus infections in chickens.

The effect of artificial air-ionization on air-borne transmission of Newcastle disease virus (NDV) infection in chickens was studied in an isolated system consisting of two side-by-side cages with solid walls and a wire-gauze roof. During a 3-week observation period more than 90% of the uninoculated indicator chickens, housed in one of the cages, contracted the virus shed to the air by the NDV-inoculated, diseased birds in the neighbouring cage. This air-borne transmission of NDV was completely prevented by increasing the ion concentration in the test room by a constant negative corona discharge above the wire-gauze roof. On the other hand, spreading of the infection within a group of chickens housed in a single cage was not affected by air ionization. These and other results suggest that artificial air-ionization may protect animals from certain air-borne infections by interfering with microbial aerosol formation and/or by facilitating their decay.

Efficiency of bacterial filtration in various commercial air filters for hospital air conditioning.

Filtration efficiency of high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filters is said to be over 99.97% of removal rate against the mist of thermogenerating-type of dioctyl phthalate with average particles diameter of 0.3 micrometer, as tested by the U.S. Military Standard 282 (1956). Filtration of bacterial aerosols through commercial air filters was tested to examine the efficiency of bacterial filtration with eight kinds of air filters. Percentage of bacterial filtration efficiency (% BFE) of three kinds of HEPA filters showed 100% BFE, while NBS-95 and NBS-85 showed over 99% BFE. BFE of NBS-75 air filter was 91.75%.

Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) analysis and 16S rRNA gene sequencing of indoor air pollutants in a 3000-capacity religious auditorium.

A thorough molecular and environmental evaluation of microbial isolates and indoor air quality (IAQ) at a place of worship is presented in this work. The study used a dual-methodological approach, including systematic environmental monitoring to assess occupant health concerns and 16S rRNA gene sequencing for taxonomic identification. Four different bacterial isolates were successfully identified by molecular analysis using BLAST and phylogenetic reconstruction: Bacillus tropicus (A11), Leclercia adecarboxylata (A12), Acinetobacter sp. (A13), and Escherichia coli (A14). The evolutionary position of isolate A13 indicated possible horizontal gene transfer, underscoring the existence of flexible, opportunistic pathogens within the indoor environment, whereas isolates A11 and A14 demonstrated significant genetic stability. Concurrently, six sessions of air quality monitoring showed a thermally demanding environment, with humidity (56.00-70.51%) and temperatures (29.21-33.79 °C) continuously surpassing ASHRAE guidelines. The average pollutant concentrations are within WHO and USEPA safety criteria, however, there were outliers that may suggest sporadic pollutant penetration (outdoor) or resuspension of dust. The results demonstrate a clear relationship between increased chemical pollutants (TVOCs) and reduced thermal comfort. To reduce the congregation's acute respiratory and cardiovascular risks, optimal ventilation systems and source-control measures are urgently needed, as evidenced by the presence of clinically relevant microorganisms combined with dangerous pollution levels.

On the muscular fuel of the air sac in an air breathing fish.

The hyohyoideus muscle which is responsible for inflating and contracting the air sac in an air breathing fish, Amphipnous cuchia, belongs to white fibre type as it lacks muscle myoglobin. The muscle shows appreciable amount of glycogen and extracellular phospholipid globules. Staining of I bands in the muscle fibres with Alcian blue (1.0 less than or equal to pH less than or equal to 3.0) indicates presence of acid mucosubstances. The muscle does not show change in phospholipid content at the histochemical level but lowering of glycogen content (25 to 30%) when put to 51/2h of continuted physiological exercise. At the same time, increase in blood sugar level (20 to 30%) possibly indicates utilization of glycogen as the source of energy by the muscle. However, a clear cut priority of glycogen or phospholipid break down for energy source by the muscle could not be established.

[Relationship of the content of carboxyhemoglobin in the blood and of carbon monoxide in the expired air of test subjects to the CO concentration in the air of a hermetic chamber].

Four manned experiments (4 test subjects participating in each) were carried out in a chamber of 24 m3. The effect of CO at a concentration of 10 to 45 mg/m3 on the content of carboxyhemoglobin in the blood, nonhemoglobin iron in the plasma, CO in the breathing air, catalase and peroxidase activity was studied. A correlation was found between these parameters and CO concentration in the atmosphere and exposure time. It was demonstrated that a continuous exposure (up to 90 days) to CO at a concentration of 10 mg/m3 under favorable microclimatic conditions produced no significant effect on the above mentioned biochemical paramters.

Distribution of some hydrocarbons in ambient air near Delft and the influence on the formation of secondary air pollutants.

The relative concentrations of hydrocarbons in the atmosphere may provide information concerning their origin. It appears that the hydrocarbon composition measured in Delft (The Netherlands) is entirely different for northern and southern wind directions. This points to different sources. The most important sources for this area are natural gas leaks, traffic, and (petrochemical) industries. It appears that the relative potential of the precursor mix to form peroxyacetylnitrate (PAN) and ozone is also different for both wind directions.
