Traditional endoscopy based on flexible endoscopes is reliable and effective, but poorly tolerated by patients; it also requires extended training 547 by physicians.In order to reduce the invasiveness of these procedures, wireless passive capsule endoscopy has been proposed and clinically used during the past decade.A capsule endoscope with an acti
Reducing losses in the secondary air system of gas and steam turbines can significantly increase the efficiency of such machines.Meanwhile, brush seals are a widely used alternative to labyrinth seals.Their most valuable advantage over other sealing concepts is the very small gap between the sealing package and the rotor and thus reduced leakage ma
This study presents the modern glacier dynamics in Mt.Tsambagarav in the Mongolian Altai Mountain Range over the last four decades.This is the first review of this type of glacier dynamics for this massif.Changes in glacier area in Mt.Tsambagarav are estimated using normalized indexes (Normalized Difference Snow Index and Normalized Difference Prin
