A left completion pneumonectomy operation for primary lung cancer (left lower lobectomy) was complicated by sudden loss of ability to ventilate the patient via the double lumen endotracheal tube. The problem could not be overcome by the anesthesiologist. In the face of impending cardiorespiratory arrest a single lumen tube was introduced through an incision in the left main bronchus through to ...

The main aim of this survey paper is to give basic information about properties and applications of σ-porous sets in Banach spaces (and some other infinite-dimensional spaces). This paper can be considered a partial continuation of the author’s 1987 survey on porosity and σ-porosity and therefore only some results, remarks, and references (important for infinite-dimensional spaces) are repeated...

Kol, Bhil and Gond are some of the ancient tribal populations known from the Ramayana, one of the Great epics of India. Though there have been studies about their affinity based on classical and haploid genetic markers, the molecular insights of their relationship with other tribal and caste populations of extant India is expected to give more clarity about the the question of continuity vs. di...

This Technical Report contains the supplemental material to the main report on the MPI-Sintel optical flow dataset and evaluation [1]. In particular, we provide details of the image and optical flow statistics that are mentioned in the main paper. Additionally we provide details of the initial evaluation of optical flow algorithm performance on the dataset. Additional details and the dataset it...

Ontologies are finding increasing use in all kinds of computer applications, and applications in biology are no exception. The main objective of this workshop was to bring together scientists of various disciplines, such as biologists, computer scientists, philosophers and computer linguists, who are working on, or are interested in, the development of ontologies in biology and related fields. ...

DAMA is an observatory for rare processes based on the development and use of various kinds of radiopure scintillators. Several low background setups have been realized with time passing and many rare processes have been investigated. Main activities are briefly summarized in the following and the main arguments on the the results achieved in the investigation of the WIMP annual modulation sign...

In the present paper, we point out that the basic result, which is the main tool, in [D. J. Wen, Projection methods for a generalized system of nonconvex variational inequalities with different nonlinear operators, Nonlinear Anal. 73 (2010) 2292–2297] has some fatal errors. Therefore, the results and algorithms in the above mentioned paper are no longer valid. To overcome with the problems in t...
