The effect of sloshing in partially filled spherical LNG tanks on ship motions

This report describes two methods to analyse the effect of sloshing on ship motions. The first method applies linear potential theory on both the barge and the internal tanks. For the barge the radiation, diffraction and incoming wave potentials are solved. For the internal tanks only the radiation potential is calculated, as there are obviously...

Acoustical Monitoring of Model System for Vascular Access in Haemodialysis

Stenosis is the main reason of the failure of a vascular access in haemodialysis. Its presence engenders an increase of the morbidity and an increase of the hospitalization for hemodialysed patients and its early detection consists thus in an important issue. Digital phonoangiography or digital acoustical analysis is an alternative to the...
