The interplay between spectator and participant matter in heavy-ion collisions is investigated within the isospin-dependent quantum molecular dynamics (IQMD) model in terms of the rapidity distribution of light charged particles. The effect of different types and sizes of rapidity distributions is studied in elliptical flow. The elliptical-flow patterns show the important role of nearby spectator matter on the participant zone. This role is further explained on the basis of the passing time of the spectator and the expansion time of the participant zone. The transition from in-plane to out-of-plane emission is observed only when the mid-rapidity region is included into the rapidity bin. Otherwise no transition occurs. The transition energy is found to be highly sensitive to the size of the rapidity bin, while it is only weakly dependent on the type of the rapidity distribution. These theoretical findings are found to be in agreement with experimental results.

We know that oxygen therapy plays one of the important role for treating hypoxemia and it is widely used across a whole range of specialties and it involves administration of oxygen at concentrations greater than that in ambient air. We are reporting the first case of twisting of reservoir bag on using non-rebreathing face mask for providing supplemental oxygen in awake prone position in a 60 year old male tested COVID-19 positive. To prevent this twisting we recommend if a manufacturer do slight modification in making of these non-breathing face mask by adding a 1-2 cm L- shaped Plastic connector to the neck end of the oxygen reservoir bag. The sudden deflation of these reservoir bag not only increase the dead space, decrease alveolar ventilation but substantially compromised the gas exchange. So any twisting of these non-rebreathing face mask should be avoided. This twisting may compromise the patient condition due to rapid increase in PaCO2 and detrimental in patients with restrictive airway disease. On keeping the patient in prone position the twisting of the reservoir bag frequently occurs and this simple and useful modification may be beneficial for supplementation of oxygen therapy to COVID-19 patients requiring high fractional inspired oxygen concentration.
