11 Currently there exists no generally accepted reference technique to measure the ventilation rate 12 through naturally ventilated (NV) vents. This has an impact on the reliability of airflow rate control 13 techniques and emission rate measurements in NV animal houses. As an attempt to address this issue a 14 NV test facility was built to develop new airflow rate measurement techniques for bo...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Partial thickness drainage channels can be created with femtosecond lasers in the translucent sclera for the potential treatment of glaucoma. We present a 3D finite element model (FEM) that can predict the effect of these channels on aqueous humor (AH) outflow and intraocular pressure (IOP). STUDY DESIGN/MATERIALS AND METHODS A 3D model was developed based on a 2D mo...

AIM To analyze current understanding of the factors that contribute to raised intraocular pressure (IOP) in patients with uveitis. METHODS A pubmed literature review was carried out using words including "uveitic glaucoma", "IOP AND uveitis", "ocular hypertension AND uveitis", "inflammation AND glaucoma", "aqueous dynamics" AND "glaucoma/uveitis". RESULTS Of the two studies looking at the a...

New high resolution observations of HCO J=1→0, HCN J=1→0, SO 22 → 11, and continuum with BIMA at 3.4 mm show that the NGC7538 IRS 9 cloud core is a site of active ongoing star formation. Our observations reveal at least three young bipolar molecular outflows, all ∼ 10,000 – 20,000 years old. IRS 9 drives a bipolar, extreme high velocity outflow observed nearly pole on. South of IRS 9 we find a ...

The transfer of preimplantation embryos to a surrogate female is a required step for the production of genetically modified mice or to study the effects of epigenetic alterations originated during preimplantation development on subsequent fetal development and adult health. The use of an effective and consistent embryo transfer technique is crucial to enhance the generation of genetically modif...

We review the physics of continuum-driven mass loss and the role it plays in η Carinae and other LBVs. Unlike line-driven mass loss, which is inherently limited by self-shadowing, continuum driving can in principle lead to mass-loss rates up to the “photon-tiring” limit, for which the energy to lift the outflow becomes equal to the stellar luminosity. We discuss how luminous atmospheres give ri...

The clinical and haemodynamic findings in a patient with hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy and severe left ventricular outflow obstruction are presented. Treatment with an increasing dose of orally administered practolol up to a maximum of 1200 mg a day, resulted in symptomatic improvement, and abolition of the resting gradient when the patient was recatheterized six months later.
