Quantitative Compressibility Effects in Thermal Elastohydrodynamic Circular Contacts by Habchi, W.

“…The results reconfirm the well-known observations that minimum film thickness is very little affected by lubricant compressibility while central film thickness decreases linearly with the increase in volume compression of the lubricant. It is also observed that the relative errors on central film thicknesses induced by the use of the Dowson and Higginson relationship for compressibility increase with load and temperature and are very little affected by mean entrainment speed. …”

Combined bronchodilators (tiotropium plus olodaterol) for patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease by Ramadan, Wijdan H.

“…For patients not sufficiently controlled on a single long-acting bronchodilator, a combination of different bronchodilators has shown a significant increase in lung function. Tiotropium, a once-daily dosing LAMA, demonstrated sustained improvements in lung function as well as improved health-related quality of life, reduced exacerbations, and increased survival without altering the rate of decline in the mean forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1) with fairly tolerable side effects. …”
