✦ Synopsis

A model originally designed to fit population growth data was investigated to determine whether it could fit spirometric traces as a function of time in normal and ill humans and in normal rats, obtained, respectively, by spirometer and whole-body plethysmography. The model showed great accuracy when applied to a simple spirometer coupled with an analog-to-digital converter interfaced with a personal computer. It also proved to be a good alternative for the more expensive and less accurate electronic devices, as derivative systems, and may be an attractive method for research and/or diagnostic centers.

In this article we study supercooling from a macroscopic point of view by modeling the evolution of a supercooled body from its liquid state to its solid state. A first model, which would be expected to have discontinuous solutions, is regularized by introducing an intrinsic viscous dissipation. By

An equation for granulation kinetics has been derived on the basis of the mass balance of the material being granulated. The model presented takes into account mechanisms that cause a decrease in the mass of granuie-size groups, i.e. crushing and abrasion, and mechanisms which lead to an increase in
