Ventilation strategies and air quality management in passenger aircraft cabins: A review of experimental approaches and numerical simulations

The cabins of passenger aircraft experience one of the most complex indoor environments among all other means of mass public transportation. Given the large number of passengers that use these aircraft each day worldwide, suitable ventilation strategies for air quality management must be employed to control the spread of airborne contaminants while ensuring passenger comfort. In the current review article, the different ventilation strategies (existing and proposed) used aboard commercial aircraft, and the common airborne contaminants encountered in cabins are discussed through a critical survey of key studies performed mainly in the last two decades. The research methodologies adopted by these studies, which vary from experimental measurements to numerical simulations, are also analyzed in a systematic manner. Based on the available literature, best practices for aircraft ventilation and air quality research are identified for each research methodology. Current research gaps are also discussed and future research topics are suggested for various research methodologies.

Cross-Ply Laminates under Static Three-Point Bending: A Numerical Development Model

This paper considers damage development mechanisms in cross-ply laminates using an accurate numerical model. Under static three points bending, two modes of damage progression in cross-ply laminates are predominated: transverse cracking and delamination. However, this second mode of damage is not accounted in our numerical model. After a general review of experimental approaches of observed behavior of laminates, the focus is laid on predicting laminate behavior based on continuum damage mechanics. In this study, a continuum damage model based on ply failure criteria is presented, which is initially proposed by Ladevèze. To reveal the effect of different stacking sequence of the laminate; such as thickness and the interior or exterior disposition of the 0° and 90° oriented layers in the laminate, an equivalent damage accumulation which cover all ply failure mechanisms has been predicted. However, the solution algorithm using finite element analysis which implements progressive failure analysis is summarized. The results of the numerical computation have been justified by the previous published experimental observations of the authors.

Adjunctive therapy for septic shock: a review of experimental approaches.

Septic shock remains a major cause of morbidity and mortality, especially in the intensive care setting. A vast array of treatment strategies is under investigation; despite success in animal models, no effective adjunctive therapy has yet been approved for clinical use. This paper reviews the development of experimental therapies for sepsis and discusses those treatments that show promise for application in humans. Approaches to treatment fall into three broad categories: strategies directed against bacterial components, those directed against host-derived inflammatory mediators, and those designed to limit tissue damage. Because septic shock is a dynamic and evolving condition, different strategies may be needed at different stages in the pathogenesis of sepsis. Through carefully performed trials and thoughtful selection of combination therapy aimed at different points in the pathological process, it may be possible in the future to modify the course of this serious condition.
