Man-made active sonar does not operate well in bubbly water. However dolphins and porpoises not only function effectively in shallow coastal waters, but also at times generate large bubble fields to assist with catching prey. Possible physics solutions to target detection in bubbly water are proposed, and the validities of such proposed acoustical solutions are explored through theory, simulati...

This report describes a man versus man semiconductor laser weapon fire simulation system that eliminates the requirement that the trainee wear on his body numerous laser detectors that impede his motion and are subject to damage. The system utilizes retroreflective material and two transmitted eyesafe laser beams. The first beam, when reflected, ascertains a hit and the second broad beam commun...

For at least 111 years society has been searching for a will o' the wisp "legal test" of criminal responsibility, i.e., liability for punishment provided by law, applicable to all cases in which the defense of insanity is raised.' The purpose of the search is obvious: Society wants a legal standard by which to judge whether or not a man should be held responsible for his acts in order to establ...

We herein report two cases of drug-induced liver injury (DILI) due to mosapride. Case 1: A 78-year-old man was admitted with elevated transaminase levels. The cessation of mosapride led to the improvement of elevated liver enzyme levels. Case 2: A 54-year-old man was admitted with jaundice. Mosapride was discontinued immediately, and methylprednisolone was administered for acute liver failure. ...

However, what the study was “designed to test” 1 is not the main issue. Consider the most appropriate action of a man who has created a new boat design, and during the test sees a child alone and in distress, caught in rip tide. Similarly, access to investigational drugs are case-based decisions, and FDA has done a good job of making it easier for sponsors and doctors to understand what to do w...

A 65-year-old man developed respiratory failure with diffuse interstitial shadow, bilateral pleural effusion, and bilateral hilar lymphadenopathy on chest X-ray and CT, after intravenous administration of minocycline. Corticosteroid therapy was effective. The findings from bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) and transbronchial lung biopsy were compatible with eosinophilic pneumonia. Provocation test s...
