Oesophageal (oes) and central venous pressure (CVP) were compared as indices of transpulmonary pressure change (deltap). The mean increase of deltaPoes over deltapCVP was 2.8 cm H2O. The size and variability of the increase were similar to the expected difference between oesophageal and pleural pressure fluctuations occurring in the supine patient. Central venous pressure may be more accurate a...

There is a need for reliable and independent evaluation confirmation of the postmortem interval (PMI) based on objective factors other than only changes or temperature measurements. Estimating PMI by examining concentration potassium ions in vitreous humor (VH) has tradition forensic toxicology dating back to mid-20th century. So far, methods determining presence have not been characterized ter...

D oes security trump reliability, or vice versa? In 2013, the Seventh International Conference on Software Security and Reliability (SERE) in Gaithersburg, Maryland, hosted a panel discussion with representation from industry, academia, and government to answer this question. Neither the panelists nor anyone in the audience took a firm stance. Rather, the discussion meandered from the original ...

D oes the equation x + y + z = 29 have a solution in integers? Yes: (3,1,1), for instance. How about the equation x + y + z = 30? Again yes, although this was not known until 1999: the smallest solution is (−283059965,−2218888517, 2220422932). And how about x + y + z = 33? This is an unsolved problem. Of course, number theory does not end with the study of cubic equations in three variables: on...

12 Kansas Nursing Occupational Outlook 2002-2012 Compiled by Terri Roberts, J.D., R.N. The Kansas Department of Labor recently released a study of occupational employment throughout the state. The data was compiled using data collected from the unemployment insurance program and the Occupational and Employment Survey (OES). The study projects employment by industry and occupation from the year ...

This study proposed a simple method to evaluate the spectral reflectance of inner wall vacuum chamber. A for calculating emission coefficients by taking chamber into account was proposed. Furthermore, plasma diagnosis based on optical spectroscopic (OES) measurement performed so as obtain radial dependence electron temperature Te and density Ne radio frequency inductively coupled Argon (Ar) app...

This study presents the implementation of a portable module designed for autonomous analysis sea-surface inorganic nutrients onboard vessels opportunity, as an additional tool assessing levels eutrophication risk. The was carried out during August-mid-September 2019 in Ria de Arousa and outer shelf area (NW-Iberian coastal upwelling system). During this period, distributions measured concentrat...
