A model of the chest and lungs can be easily constructed from a bottle of water, a balloon, a syringe, a rubber stopper, glass and rubber tubing, and clamps. The model is a more exact analogue of the body than the classic apparatus of Hering in two respects: 1) the pleurae and intrapleural fluid are represented by water rather than air, and 2) the subatmospheric "intrapleural" pressure is creat...

Research areas : Organic Electronics and Nano-fabrication-Our recent research theme is stretchable & patchable electronics based on polymeric substrates. Differ from other groups, we mainly deals with organic electronics by using UV-curable polymers as flexible substrates-We develop a novel fabrication technique for integrated organic devices on substrates with complex structure. Free-standing ...

A study comparing the recovery of microorganisms from a transiently vented biphasic brain heart infusion medium bottle and a vacuum bottle containing tryptic soy broth demonstrated that growth was initially detected on the slant of the biphasic bottle or on a routine subculture of either broth in nearly 50% of instances. All organisms were isolated equally well in both bottles, with the excepti...

A test comparing concentrations of 57 chemical elements (Ag, Al, As, B, Ba, Be, Bi, Ca, Cd, Ce, Co, Cr, Cs, Cu, Dy, Er, Eu, Fe, Ga, Gd, Ge, Hf, Ho, I, K, La, Li, Lu, Mg, Mn, Mo, Na, Nb, Nd, Ni, Pb, Pr, Rb, Sb, Se, Sm, Sn, Sr, Ta, Tb, Te, Th, Ti, Tl, Tm, U, V, W, Y, Yb, Zn and Zr) determined by inductively coupled plasma quadrupole mass spectrometry (ICPQMS) in 294 samples of the same bottled wa...

BACKGROUND Childhood iron deficiency is associated with behavioral and cognitive delays. Few studies have explored the relationship between prolonged bottle-feeding and iron-deficiency anemia among toddlers. OBJECTIVE To examine the association between prolonged bottle-feeding and iron deficiency in a nationally representative sample of children ages 1 to 3 years. DESIGN AND METHODS The Nat...

Any spatial situation can be approached either categorically - the window is to my left - or coordinately - the glass is 20cm away from the bottle. Since the first description of the distinction between categorical and coordinate spatial relation processing, it has often been shown that they are processed by at least partially different underlying mechanisms, mainly located in the left and righ...

Materials and methods: A total of 68 molar bands were tried-in mouth of 17 patients. After try-in, 60 bands were cleaned in ultrasonic cleaning bath and then were equally divided into two groups (n = 30). Bands from group 1 were autoclaved in benchtop autoclave. Bands from group 2 were sterilized in glass bead sterilizer. After sterilization, the bands from both the groups were incubated in 50 ...

The appearance of bottle cells at the dorsal vegetal/marginal boundary of Xenopus embryos marks the onset of blastopore formation. The conditions leading to this epithelial activity were investigated by inducing bottle cells ectopically in the animal region with VegT or different members of the transforming growth factor (TGF)-beta family. Morphological studies on the ectopic bottle cells indic...

Component tracing plays an important role in the wine industry in order to know the product quality during wine supply chain (i.e., from grape to glass). It is one of the main applications of radio frequency identification, which is a key technology due to its ever increasing demands. To adopt the feature of component traceability with the wine industry, it is necessary to design a wireless inf...

The above ingredients were added, in the order mentioned, in a Winchester bottle holding 3 litres and thoroughly shaken. (The total volume will be found to be 480 c.cm.) For convenience, separate tins of definite volume were used for measuring out kerosene oil and Paris green. The latter can be measured easily in a tin and, if quite dry, can be poured. The stock suspension must be thoroughly sh...
