We study properties of solitary wave solutions of three evolution equations arising in the modeling of internal waves Our experiments indicate that broad classes of initial data resolve into solitary waves but also suggest that solitary waves do not interact exactly thus suggesting two of these equa tions are not integrable In the course of our numerical simulations interesting meta stable quas...

Six bufadienolides were isolated from Tylecodon grandiflorus ( Burm .f.) Toelken . The paretic syndrome, krimpsiekte , could be induced in sheep either by repeated oral administration of small quantities of plant material or the intravenous injection of small quantities of certain bufadienolides . A mild to moderate, acute to subacute, multifocal cardiomyopathy was evident in sheep poisoned by ...

A graft-versus-host reaction was induced in (BALB/c x C5 7BL/6)F(1) mice by intravenous injection of BALB/c spleen cells. Six days later, the mice received subcutaneous grafts of a chemically induced BALB/c sarcoma. The growth of the tumor grafts was accelerated.

DESCRIPTION A 62-year-old diabetic gentleman presented febrile, 38.9 • F, with an infected, necrotic left leg. He had previously received 2 weeks of intravenous (IV) antibiotics for cellulitis. His leg was neurovascularly intact with a history significant only for a previous laceration to his leg, prior to a crabbing excursion.

Labour was induced successfully at or near term in 34 out of 35 cases by combined amniotomy and intravenous infusion of either prostaglandins F(2)alpha, E(2), or E(1). Of particular importance is the finding of hypertonus in 4 of the 18 cases induced with prostaglandin E(2).

UNLABELLED The current perception of using contrast-enhanced CT (CECT) for attenuation correction (AC) is that of caution, as it might lead to erroneously elevated (18)F-FDG uptake on the PET scan. This study evaluates in vivo whether an intravenous iodinated contrast agent produces a significant AC artifact in the level of standardized uptake value (SUV) changes in PET/CT. METHODS Fifty-four...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the potential and correlation between near-infrared fluorescence (NIRF) imaging using cyanine 5.5 conjugated with hydrophobically modified glycol chitosan nanoparticles (HGC-Cy5.5) and (18)F-fluorodeoxyglucose-positron emission tomography ((18)F-FDG-PET) imaging of collagen-induced arthritis (CIA). MATERIALS AND METHODS We used 10 CIA and 3 normal mice. Nine days after t...

Blood ethanol and acetaldehyde concentrations were compared in normal young male and female subjects after intravenous infusion of 0.5 g of ethanol/kg body weight. After the infusion was completed, females had significantly higher mean concentrations of blood ethanol than males, but a significantly lower apparent volume of distribution (Vd) of ethanol (0.56 +/- 0.06 1/kg vs 0.68 +/- 0.17 1/kg, ...

In this paper we investigate the compressible Navier-Stokes-Cahn-Hilliard equations (the so-called NSCH model) derived by Lowengrub and Truskinowsky. This model describes the ow of a binary compressible mixture; the uids are supposed to be macroscopically immiscible, but partial mixing is permitted leading to narrow transition layers. The internal structure and macroscopic dynamics of these lay...

The examination of the particle model of compressible uids that has been developed by the author Numer. Math., in press] and that has recently been extended to particles of variable size, is continued. It is shown that, in the limit of particle sizes tending to zero, both the mass density and the mass ux density and the entropy density and the entropy ux density converge in the weak sense and s...
