The Swan-Ganz balloon flotation catheter was introduced in 1970. It can be placed at the bedside within a few minutes even in critically ill patients. Although placement of these catheters is not difficult, some training and experience are required to avoid complications and for proper interpretation of the hemodynamic data that can be obtained by pulmonary artery catheterization. Because of th...

While the development of land for residential housing along the Swan and Canning Rivers in Perth, WA, Australia has reduced natural mosquito breeding sites, the role of backyard container breeding remains a relatively unknown factor. Local Governments responsible for these areas focus management and control efforts on low lying, tidally driven mosquito habitats to control Aedes vigilax (Skuse) ...

Despite studies clearly demonstrating significant benefit from increasing oxygen delivery in the peri-operative period in high risk surgical patients, the technique has not been widely accepted. This is due to a variety of reasons, including non-availability of beds, particularly in the pre-operative period, and the requirement of inserting a pulmonary artery catheter. There are now data that s...

We are developing a decision support system in an effort to assist biologists who are managing habitats for the Rocky Mountain population of trumpeter swans. Swan management is a domain that is ecologically complex, and this complexity is compounded by spatial and temporal issues. We are focused on providing decision support that allows managers to develop habitat management plans for local sit...

We show for a finite abelian group G and any element in the image of the Swan homomorphism sw : Z/|G|∗ −→ K̃0(ZG) that it can be realized as the finiteness obstruction of a finitely dominated connected CW -complex X with fundamental group π1(X) = G such that π1(X) is equal to the subgroup G1(X) defined by Gottlieb. This is motivated by the observation that any H-space X satisfies π1(X) = G1(X) a...

We introduce the Swan class of an -adic etale sheaf on a variety over a local field. It is a generalization of the classical Swan conductor measuring the wild ramification and is defined as a 0-cycle class supported on the reduction. We establish a Riemann-Roch formula for the Swan class. Let K be a complete discrete valuation field of characteristic 0. We assume that the residue field F is a p...
