The application of stability theory has led to detailed studies of different types of vessels; however, the shortage of information relating to multihull vessels demanded further investigation. This study shows that the position of the hulls has a very influential effect on both the transverse and longitudinal stability of the tricore. HSC stability code is applied for the optimisation of the h...

This monograph compiles innovative data, covering many aspects of lung biology: respiratory mechanics; gas exchange and gas transport; gas diffusion; and control of breathing. It describes physiologic observations, and analyzes and interprets them with the precision that only mathematics and physics can provide. Under the inspirational leadership of Dr. John West, authors from the United States...

Stereotactic radiosurgery undoubtedly represents an important therapeutic procedure for various intracranial pathologies, especially tumours, although they are not entirely complication-free. Radiosurgery have been considered a good management strategy for the majority of small-to-medium size vestibular schwannomas. The authors describe a case of high-grade glioma associated with a previous rad...

Contemporary societies are experiencing growing diversity both at different levels (firms, cities, regions, countries) and in different arenas (cultural, social, and economic). One of the main reasons is the process of globalization that has pushed the cross-country flows of ideas, knowledge, goods, capital and people. Undoubtedly, no feature of globalization is considered with more unease than...

A Farmer-type Keynesian model is constructed to explore and exposit Keynesian ideas. The modeling innovation is to integrate Farmer’s approach with monetary exchange and to derive optimal monetary and fiscal policies. Two approaches are taken to optimal policy an approach in the spirit of New Keynesian sticky-wage-and-price models, and an a "sophisticated policy" approach. Optimal policies typi...

Gamma-ray bursts are transient events from beyond the solar system. Besides the allure of their mysterious origin, bursts are physically fascinating because they undoubtedly require exotic physics. Optical transients coincident with burst positions show that some, and probably all, bursts originate at cosmological distances, and not from a large Galactic halo. Observations of these events’ spec...

We do not, however, believe that this proposal is best strategy for addressing these issues. We considered the relative benefits and costs of the proposal, including purported improvements in faculty retention. The prevailing sense of DIVCO is that the costs of the proposal outweigh the modest benefits we can expect from its implementation. While there was a broad consensus on DIVCO opposing th...

advances up to the time of publication that we have failed to find included in it. Though, perhaps, the work has become almost too big to recommend to the average student as a textbook, it is undoubtedly one which should be studied by all those who are reading for the higher examinations in Gynaecology, and it should find a place on the shelves of the library of every practitioner, as a standar...

With the recent development of new altitude training methods (Millet et al., 2013; Girard et al., 2017), the question of the specific central and peripheral adaptations to high-intensity exercise in hypoxia is now crucial. This research topic investigated the beneficial aspects and potential drawbacks of these methods and would undoubtedly be of interest for many exercise physiologists. A total...

Obesity is present in epidemic proportions in the United States, and bariatric surgery has become more common. Thus, emergency physicians will undoubtedly encounter many patients who have undergone one of these procedures. Knowledge of the anatomic changes specific to these procedures aids the clinician in understanding potential complications and devising an organized differential diagnosis. T...
