Analysis Of Financing Options For Transportation, Gary T. Johnson, Lester A. Hoel Mar 1986

Analysis Of Financing Options For Transportation, Gary T. Johnson, Lester A. Hoel

Purdue Road School

This paper reviews and analyzes various innovative Financing tech­niques for highway and transit. With federal support diminishing and transportation needs growing, agencies are seeking new ways to meet this crisis. The techniques discussed fall into the four broad categories of: (1) charges on benefiting properties; (2) joint venture approaches; (3) user charges; and (4) marketing and merchandising approaches. Charges on benefiting properties recognize that there are specific beneficiaries who gain from transportation improvements and include: connector fees, negotiated investments, special benefit assessment, tax increment finan­cing and impact requirements. Joint ventures with the private sector recognize that it is mutually advantageous …

Access Control For Local Roads And Streets In Small Cities And Rural Areas, Hussein F. Dia, Jon Fricker Mar 1986

Access Control For Local Roads And Streets In Small Cities And Rural Areas, Hussein F. Dia, Jon Fricker

Indiana Local Technical Assistance Program (LTAP) Publications

This manual is a response to the need expressed by local public officials in small cities and rural areas for a single reference book on the subject. A variety of scattered references have been combined into a single volume with small communities in mind. The authors hope that this manual will be of value to street commissioners, road supervisors, and city and county engineers throughout Indiana.


The Acoustic Absorption Characteristics Of Modern Lightweight Building Constructions: Background And Infinite Double Panel Model, Neil C. Baines, J Stuart Bolton Mar 1986

The Acoustic Absorption Characteristics Of Modern Lightweight Building Constructions: Background And Infinite Double Panel Model, Neil C. Baines, J Stuart Bolton

Publications of the Ray W. Herrick Laboratories

Little theoretical or experimental information is currently available regarding the acoustic absorption coefficients of the lightweight double panel constructions which are frequently used as walls or roofs of factories. Recent measurements have indicated that these surfaces may provide the majority of the low frequency absorption in spaces where they are used. A literature review suggested that an existing model for sound transmission through infinite double panels could be adapted to the calculation of absorption coefficients. Such a model was developed and used with material properties appropriate to asbestos panels to predict the plane wave absorption coefficient as a function of …

Effect Of Deferoxamine On Late Deaths Following Cpr In Rats, Charles F. Babbs, Sushil D. Kompala, Karl E. Blaho Jan 1986

Effect Of Deferoxamine On Late Deaths Following Cpr In Rats, Charles F. Babbs, Sushil D. Kompala, Karl E. Blaho

Weldon School of Biomedical Engineering Faculty Publications

The iron chelating agent deferoxamine was studied in an animal model as post-resuscitation therapy to prevent late deaths and brain damage following total circulatory arrest and resuscitation. Cardio-respiratory arrest was induced by injection of cold, 1% KC1 into the left ventricles of ketamine anesthetized rats pretreated with succinylcholine chloride, and by discontinuation of positive pressure ventilation. CPR was begun after six minutes, and animals with return of spontaneous circulation were entered into the study. Within five minutes after return of spontaneous circulation, treated animals received deferoxamine (50 mg/kg, IV). At ten days, 16 of 25 (64%) of treated animals had …

The Effect Of Carbon Dioxide, Lidoflazine, And Deferoxamine Upon Long Term Survival Following Cardiorespiratory Arrest In Rats, Stephen F. Badylak, Charles F. Babbs

Weldon School of Biomedical Engineering Faculty Publications

This study examined the effect of carbon dioxide, lidoflazine, and deferoxamine therapy upon the 10-day survival incidence and subsequent neurologic function of rats subjected to 7 min of cardiorespiratory arrest with resuscitation. Cardiac arrest (asystole) was induced at time zero by injection of cold, 1% KCl into the left ventricle of ketamine-anesthetized rats pretreated with succinylcholine. Positive pressure ventilation was discontinued at time zero. Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) was begun at 7 min, and animals with return of spontaneous circulation were entered into the study. Twenty treated rats were ventilated for 1 h with 7% carbon dioxide-93% oxygen and given lidoflazine …


Abdominal Binding And Counterpulsation In Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation, Charles F. Babbs, William E. Blevins Jan 1986

Abdominal Binding And Counterpulsation In Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation, Charles F. Babbs, William E. Blevins

Weldon School of Biomedical Engineering Faculty Publications

The history and potential of abdominal pressure as an adjunct to standard cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is reviewed. Abdominal pressure during CPR may be either static or phasic. Static abdominal pressure redirects limited blood flow generated by chest compressions toward the heart and brain, and away from the abdominal organs and lower extremities, thus boosting coronary perfusion pressure. Phasic abdominal pressure applied whenever chest pressure is released, in counterpoint to the rhythm of chest compression—so called interposed abdominal compression (IAC)-CPR—generates blood flow by an independent abdominal pump mechanism that augments the systemic perfusion created by chest compressions. New imaging data are …
