Brain-stem Compression Expanding lesions in the temporal fossa readily displace the brain-stem towards the opposite side where it is forced against the edge of the tentorium. At the same time a wedge formed by the uncus and hippocampal gyrus is forced downward between the midbrain and the edge of the tentorium on the side of the lesion (Fig. i). These two mechanisms produce the various stages o...

Given a finite group G and a natural number n, we study the structure of the complex of nested sets of the associated Dowling lattice Qn(G) (Proc. Internat. Sympos., 1971, pp. 101–115) and of its subposet of the G-symmetric partitions Qn(G) which was recently introduced by Hultman (http://www.math.kth.se/ ~hultman/, 2006), together with the complex of G-symmetric phylogenetic trees T G n . Hult...

evaluation of surface water quality is a complex process undertakingmultiple parameters. converting great amount of parameters into a simpler expressionand enabling easy interpretation of data are the main purposes of water quality indices.the main aim of this study is to plan effective water resources management system forkarun river by combination of ccmewqi and geographic information system ...

In a series of 106 patients with fulminant hepatic failure and grade 4 encephalopathy, cardiac arrhythmias and other abnormalities occurred in 92 per cent. The most common was sinus tachycardia (75%) and this was the only abnormality in 22 per cent of the patients. Sudden cardiac arrest occurred in 25 per cent, various ectopic beats in 20 per cent, and heart block or bradycardia in 18 per cent....

This thesis consists of two parts. Both parts are devoted to finding links between geometric/algebraic objects and combinatorial objects. In the first part of the thesis, we link Schubert varieties in the full flag variety with hyperplane arrangements. Schubert varieties are parameterized by elements of the Weyl group. For each element of the Weyl group, we construct certain hyperplane arrangem...

Abundant adipose tissue in the epicardial groove, surrounding the kidneys and within the mesentery indicated the good body condition of the white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus). Several abrasions were identified in the skin of the head which were attributed to trauma associated with the neurological signs exhibited by the deer while it was alive. Gunshot wounds were present in the head co...

drinking water quality can be deteriorated by microbial and toxic chemicals during transport, storage and handling before using by the consumer. this study was conducted to evaluate the microbial and physicochemical quality of drinking water from bottled water coolers.a total of 64 water samples, over a 5-month period in 2012-2013, were collected from free standing bottled water coolers and wat...

In theories of word meaning and concepts, “water” has been taken as a key case of a natural kind term, and water of a natural kind. I address several questions including: What should a theory of the meaning of the word “water” look like, given observations about use of the word? Is there a category of liquids that is water, independent of the names used for the liquids? Given the considerations...
