Residual gas analysis may be time consuming if the identification of all species and their quantitative contribution to mass spectrum is required. This because partial pressures residual cover several orders magnitudes fragmentation patterns are in general convoluted. Noise, offset, limited ranges analysers used UHV applications further reduce sensitivity a spectrum. In this work, authors propo...

Changes in the oxygen partial pressure of air over the range of 8 to 258 mm of Hg did not adversely affect the photosynthetic capacity of Chlorella pyrenoidosa. Gas exchange and growth measurements remained constant for 3-week periods and were similar to air controls (oxygen pressure of 160 mm of Hg). Oxygen partial pressures of 532 and 745 mm of Hg had an adverse effect on algal metabolism. Ca...

The study included 17 patients with facial paralysis (FP) (10 male, 7 female) aged 47.6 +/- 21.0 years. Twelve of the 17 patients had Bell's palsy. The other causes of FP were as follows: one, polyradiculoneuritis; one, war injury; one, cerebrovascular accident; one, sarcoidosis; and one, dermatomyositis. Spirometry and maximal respiratory pressures (PImax and PEmax) were performed with three d...

Cost related to higher-level outcomes measurement is often very high. However, the cost burden is felt even more by smaller, less well-funded continuing medical education (CME) programs. It is possible to overcome financial and participant-related barriers to measuring Level 6 outcomes, which are patient health outcomes. The Temple University School of Medicine's Office for Continuing Medical E...
