abstract background: with respect to the difference in the interaction of thermal neutron and x rays with matter, using two radiography systems of thermal neutron and x rays will yield highly valuable information for studying the inner structure of biologic samples. methods: the high sensitivity of thermal neutron to hydrogen, in particular, has led to recognizing this system as a useful tool i...

Percutaneous insertion of a Swan-Ganz catheter through the internal jugular vein is presumed to have resulted in lodgement of the catheter tip in the wall of the internal carotid artery.

We introduce BCI structures which are extensions of 1-sorted structure and are systems 〈 a carrier, an internal complement 〉, where the carrier is a set and the internal complement is a binary operation on the carrier. Let us note that there exists a BCI structure which is non empty and strict. Let A be a BCI structure and let x, y be elements of A. The functor x \ y yielding an element of A is...
