 with diagnosis. In addition, our modern X-ray systems have tightly controlled X-ray beams and dose control methods to minimize radiation. This keeps patient exposure to radiation at a minimum.
There are no preparations for X-ray.
Chest X-ray uses a very small dose of ionizing radiation to produce pictures of the inside of the chest. It is used to evaluate the lungs, heart, and chest wall and may be used to help diagnose shortness of breath, persistent cough, fever, chest pain, or injury. It also may be used to help diagnose and monitor treatment for a variety of lung conditions such as pneumonia, emphysema, and cancer. Because chest X-ray is fast and easy, it is particularly useful in emergency diagnosis and treatment.
Fluoroscopy may be performed to evaluate specific areas of the body, including the bones, muscles, and joints, as well as solid organs, such as the heart, lung, or kidneys. It is also often used to guide needle placement for procedures such as an arthrogram.
X-ray has become an integral part of imaging bones throughout the body. X-ray uses a very small dose of ionizing radiation, and is commonly used to diagnose fractured bones or joint dislocation. Bone X-rays are the fastest and easiest way for your doctor to view and assess bone fractures, injuries, and joint abnormalities.another pinterest board + phone consultation success story!
the two leather sofas, the new chairs from overstock, the woods side table, the ottoman and rug.
my client felt that the room lacked personality and she wanted to add some subtle color. the current drapes were actually patterned drapes that she had tired of, and so she hung them inside out. she wanted some quick updates that would freshen up the room, and also wanted my help picking out a new paint color.
*changing the wall color to something less gold, yet still neutral.
of the high ceiling.
the biggest change is the wall color. we opted for benjamin moore's "stone hearth". it is a great neutral...less gold yet still warm enough to tie in the other elements of the home like the fireplace surround and the kitchen cabinets.
adding the large mirror and antlers the wall space above the fireplace gives the wall so much more presence. the pillows add some color and texture.
new drapes, and a new table (the alu accent table from z gallerie--one of my favorites) make the room feel more polished.
can you spot the pleating detail in the edge of the slipcover ottoman?
the new photo gallery takes advantage of the wall space better than the single frame that was there before.
are you interested in working together on a room in your home? i am taking clients for full room designs for the end of october, but i have room for one more pinterest board + phone consultation in september, and several more in october!
I may be interested - i "love" my livingroom but it needs something... what is the cost for this consult?
hi deb! the fee for a pinterst board + phone consultation is $150. you can read a little more about this and my other services in my "seervices" tab!
drop me a line, i would love to work with yoU!!
What a wonderful change!!!!
Nice job of making the fireplace wall a good focal point and soothing color.I think this is the main reason why and the mpg figures just an excuse.
But sadly you don't need program skills to set up an odd fire engine in tuner studio.
That is pretty much exactly why. It is something I have thought about and planned. I don't think anyone has done it before, it is a personal challenge i want to try and do. That and as stated, it gives me time with my grandson.
I will look into the odd fire setup. That would be so much easier.
Thanks to everyone that has responded to this thread.
You would still need to remove the intake setup of the cylinder you are not using.
It cannot be part of the remaining cylinders intake.there is no way you can get around this.
Yes, I understand there needs to be modifications to the engine.
My current issue was figuring out the electronic portion of the engine controls.
+1 to the other opinions. Run it as 2-cylinder odd-fire, delete the 3rd cylinder intake, valves, exhaust, and reciprocating parts if possible. Disabling cylinders by removing fuel is rarely successful, as you still have the parasitic drag and compressive loads, while it is no longer providing power. Effectively, you have a 2-cylinder engine powering a dead 1-cylinder engine, like a starter motor but at yet much higher speeds and loads. That tends to kill any pumping-loss gains made by dropping the cylinder, or worse. You mentioned ideas you had for side-stepping some of this, so continue on your journey and enjoy your family time!
Here is my setup on the stand with the speeduino hooked up. I have since then redid the wiring harness to eliminate as much of the oem wiring harness as possible.
Interesting idea. Have you thought about how the engine will be balanced? I think OEM systems will shut down a whole bank of cylinders when they do this (eg V8 becomes I4 or V6 becomes I3) so the load on the crank shaft will still be balanced. 
I'm really interested in this and was thinking about trying to do it myself to get better mpg (In theory, I'm not sure if I would ever bother). I would want to be able to instantaneously switch cylinders on and off because then I wouldn't be sacrificing any power but I could get good economy while at light load. I think the idea is that you deactivate some cylinders and make the other cylinders work harder and more efficiently. You then also do something to reduce the pumping losses in the deactivated cylinders so the normal thing to do is permanently close both valves so the deactivated cylinder is just an air spring and it isn't trying do draw air past the throttle or pump it through the engine. What I was thinking is that if you had ITBs that you could control individually you could open the throttle on the deactivated cylinders and leave the valves as they are so these cylinders are still pumping air but not trying to pull a vacuum past the throttle. I don't know if this would be as effective as closing valves but it would be a lot easier.
ITB's are locked together.
They need to be to ensure they are balanced with each other.
Yeah it wouldn't be easy to set up but I don't think that would make it impossible. I would probably try and do it with e throttles and it wouldn't even need ITBs it could just be separate throttles for each bank of cylinders.
It would also need something clever with the MAP sensor so you're only reading from the running cylinders.
So multiple ethrottles?
With multiple throttle controllers?
Which would all need to be separate from Speeduino as it will never support them..
Seems so ridiculously complicated for what benefit?
Potential for small fuel consumption improvements?It seems spring has sprung in parts of the country, and others are still hoping to see an end to the snow. As we near planting season, I hope your ground thaws quickly, and fields stay dry enough so no tractors or planters are stuck this year.
As we begin planting, I know growers all over the country are ready to see more business with China in the coming season. ASA continues to remind the Administration that a successful trade agreement must remove China’s 25 percent tariff on imports of U.S. soybeans.
Photo: (L to R) ASA President Davie Stephens, U.S. Ambassador to China Terry Brandstad, and USB Chair Keith Tapp met with industry leaders, long-term partners and U.S. soybean customers while in China.
Last week I had the honor to represent ASA on a mission to China with leaders from USSEC and USB to reinforce and strengthen our trade relationships with our Chinese customers.
In Beijing, our group met with industry leaders, long-term partners and other industry experts. In Shanghai, USSEC hosted Chinese partners at an event called Experience Today’s U.S. Soy Advantage. The U.S. Ambassador to China, Terry Brandstad, participated and delivered keynote comments.
While there, our mission was simple yet vitally important. We wanted to remind our Chinese customers about the long-term benefits to both our countries of maintaining a strong trading relationship.
Trade is the lifeblood of American agriculture, and ASA will continue to work with and encourage the Administration to rescind the Section 301 tariff in exchange for China dropping its tariff on U.S. soybeans in order to reopen the Chinese market, while also pursuing open and free trade agreements with other countries.
As we all make our way back to the fields for planting season, we each need to remember to be safe out there. I wish you all a temperate spring and a Happy Easter!I was a bit tired of doing daily life activities so I decided to go to the nearest mountains. I'm not living in the capital but Pilis mountain is the nearest either to my home or to Budapest.
I started my journey early in the mornning and I found myself in the woods at about six o'clock am. So these pictures show the sunrise at dawn above Csillaghegy (a hill near Budapest) at the most eastern point of Pilis.Governments.
In Asia, the U.S. and Europe, governments have spent billions on research and development of renewable energies
