Sir,—Reference is made to Dr. Mapleson's letter (Brit. J. Anaesth., 41, 310) commenting on our improved simulator (Crane, Yates and Steen, 1968). That an active analogue is better (or, certainly, more flexible) than a passive model is not the question (Ashman, 1969) and was not the general burden of our paper. In making the obvious improvements permitted by active techniques, an analysis of the...

increasing energy demands associated with economic growth and industrialization have resulted in dramatic increases in air pollution emissions. air pollution damages the plant mainly by disrupting cell homeostatic conditions.in the present study, diverse plant criteria indicating air pollution from different levels including cell biochemistry, leaf and tree crown in the plane-tree were determin...

The forming limit diagram (FLD) is probably the most common representation of sheet metal formability and can be defined as the locus of the principal planar strains where failure is most likely to occur. Low carbon steel sheets have many applications in industries, especially in automotive parts, therefore it is necessary to study the formability of these steel sheets. In this paper, FLDs, wer...

An epiillumination microscope objective slit-scan flow system has been fabricated utilizing two dimensional slit scanning with hydrodynamic sample stream focussing. Low resolution (4 micron) analysis of cellular fluorescence is facilitated by the definition of a stabilized flow plane through hydrodynamic focussing. Coincidence of the region of stabilized flow with the focal plane of the microsc...
