Lagrangian dynamics of contaminant particles released from a point source in New York City.

In this study, we investigated the transport of contaminants in the southern tip of Manhattan, New York City, under prevailing wind conditions. We considered a hypothetical contaminant particle release on the East side of the New York Stock Exchange at 50 m above the ground level. The transport of individual particles due to the wind flow in the city was simulated by coupling large-eddy simulations (Eulerian) with a Lagrangian model.

Therapy for septic shock.

To adequately appraoch the therapeutics of such a diffuse disorder as sepsis, a firm grasp of the multiple pathophysiologic subsets is imperative. With this as a basis, therapy comes as close to applied physiology as is possible in medicine today.
