models in general use. While the weight of a pair of Anderson's forceps is about 1 lb. 10 ozs. the " Bengal forceps " weighs only a pound. In the " Bengal forceps " pelvic curves are a little more pronounced than usual and the distance between the shanks near the joint is wide enough to admit the forefinger. The handles are made like those of amputation knives, and give an efficient hold withou...

Micro-machined silicon needles capable of penetrating through cell membranes were fabricated and tested for intracellular sensing applications. The fabricated needles have sharp tips (diameter <1 μm), they are long (>300 μm) and exhibit high mechanical strength. The needles were tested for extraand intra-cellular neuronal recording applications. To prepare the needles for neuronal recording, th...

Pulmonary osteoarthropathy may occur in cancer of the lung but is rare due to short course of the disease (Shanks and Kerley, 1951). The combination of polyarthritis is even more rare. Holmes et al. (1950) reported symptomatic arthritis complicating hypertrophic osteoarthropathy in a series of seven cases and stressed the importance of this condition in the diagnosis of pulmonary neoplasm. The ...

This article investigates the discrepancy between theoretical and experimental optical characterisation results of a Fresnel Lens - silicon on glass (SOG), as primary component toward UHCPV >3000 suns design (Shanks et al., 2018). All equations were elaborated for single- multi-junction solar cells, emphasising performance when focal spot area is larger or lesser than cell area. simple predicti...

Sidewall radiant heating creates a non-uniform thermal environment. In office buildings, it is important to know how supply fresh air reduce asymmetry without causing draft. As solution, diffuse ceiling ventilation (DCV) used into sidewall heated room. 20 subjects (10 males and 10 females) were recruited subjective assessments obtained. The results show that under the influence of heating, ther...

Acolpenceron australe sp. n. (Dactylogyridae, Dactylogyrinae) is described from ureters and renal tubules of Percichthys trucha (Cuvier et Valenciennes) (Perciformes, Percichthyidae) from Andean Patagonian lakes. The new species has a haptor with 14 hooks, with shanks comprised of two subunits. It has overlapped intercaecal gonads, male copulatory organ as a sclerotized tube with one counterclo...

A novel strategy to the development of digital pole-zero approximations to fractional-order integrators and differentiators is presented here. The scheme is based in the signal modeling techniques applied to deterministic signals, namely the Padé, the Prony and the Shanks methods. It is shown that the illustrated algorithms yield good results both in the time and the frequency domains. Moreover...

Let k = Q(√−D) be an imaginary quadratic number field with ring of integers Zk and let k(α) be the cubic extension of k generated by the polynomial ft (x) = x3 − (t − 1)x2 − (t + 2)x − 1 with t ∈ Zk . In the present paper we characterize all elements γ ∈ Zk [α] with norms satisfying |Nk(α)/k | ≤ |2t + 1| for |t | ≥ 14. This generalizes a corresponding result by Lemmermeyer and Pethő for Shanks’...
