A case is presented of a 13-year-old boy with a long-standing high-pressure pouch in the right parietal lobe containing cerebrospinal fluid. The clinical presentation was of epilepsy. Isotopic studies suggested that the pouch was filling along the subarachnoid space at the back of the corpus callosum in the posterior part of the interhemispheric fissure. There was a dilated sulcus at this point...

We investigate critical wetting transitions for fluids adsorbed in wedge-like geometries where the substrate height varies as a power-law, z(x, y) ∼ |x| γ , in one direction. As γ is increased from 0 to 1 the substrate shape is smoothly changed from a planar-wall to a linear wedge. The continuous wetting and filling transitions pertinent to these limiting geometries are known to have distinct p...

— The occurrence of incompressible quantum fluid states of a two dimensional system is a result of electron–electron interactions in a highly degenerate fractionally filled Landau level. Novel quasiparticles (QP’s) called composite Fermions (CF’s) have allowed a simple single particle description of the most prominent incompressible states. Residual interactions among these QP’s are investigate...

The mechanical properties of left ventricular contraction were described in terms of tension, velocity, length, and time in closed-chest, sedated dogs in which a large aorto-caval fistula had resulted in circulatory congestion, and the results were compared with those in normal dogs. Instantaneous contractile element velocity was calculated from left ventricular pressure and its first derivativ...

Normal oscillations of a viscous stratified fluid partially filling an arbitrary vessel and bounded above by elastic horizontal membrane are studied. In this case, we consider scalar model problem that reflects the main features vector spatial problem. The characteristic equation for eigenvalues is obtained, structure spectrum asymptotics branches Assumptions made about oscillation vessel. It p...
