SOLUTION BY THE SELF-ADJOINT OPERATOR METHOD FOR A MODEL OF A CO/COUNTER-CURRENT MOVING BED HEAT EXCHANGER WITH HEAT LOSSES

Solution by the self-adjoint operator method for a model of a co/counter-current moving bed heat exchanger with heat losses

A solution by the self-adjoint operator method (SAO) (still not widely used in engineering) is presented for a lumped parameter model (LM) of a co/counter-current, indirect heated, diluted, tubular, vertical moving bed heat exchanger (MBHE), with Push heat loss to surroundings.The self-adjoint formulation of the problem and several mathematical tec

Think outside the box: Incorporating secondary cognitive tasks into return to sport testing after ACL reconstruction

The optimal set of return to sport (RTS) tests after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury and ACL reconstruction (ACLR) remains elusive.Many athletes fail to pass current RTS test batteries, fail to RTS, or sustain secondary ACL injuries if they do RTS.The purpose of this review is to summarize current literature regarding functional RTS testing
