A simple modification to Fielding and Brunström's method for the estimation of ferri-oxamine is described for use with jaundiced urine. Manufactured ferrioxamine HC1 may be slightly impure, and when used for standard purposes should be rendered anhydrous and checked for iron content. Standard ferrioxamine solutions suitable for calibrating Fielding and Brunström's method may be prepared by addi...

We presented a very rare case of adult Fielding type I atlantoaxial rotatory fixation (AARF). We performed awake manual reduction of the dislocation without need for anesthesia, achieving excellent outcomes, and no previous reports have described awake reduction without the need for anesthesia. AARF in this case was attributed to excessive extension and rotation forces applied to the cervical s...

expert system to aid the M1 Abrams tank mechanic find-and-fix problems in the AGT-1500 turbine engine. TED was designed to provide the apprentice mechanic with the ability to diagnose and repair the turbine engine like an expert mechanic. The expert system was designed and built by the U.S. Army Research Laboratory and the U.S. Army Ordnance Center and School. This article discusses the relevan...

Turbine Engine Diagnostics (TED) is a diagnostic expert system to aid the Ml Abrams tank mechanic find and fix problems in the AGT-1500 turbine engine. TED was designed to provide the apprentice mechanic the’ability to diagnose and repair the turbine engine like an expert mechanic. The expert system was designed and built by the U.S. Army Research Laboratory ,I_. \ ~HKLJ and the U.S. Army Ordna...

New experiments and theory contributing to the understanding of the dynamics and control of molecular Rydberg wave packets are presented. An intuitive scheme for controlling the rotational quantum state of a Rydberg molecule is demonstrated experimentally. We determine the accumulated phase difference between the various components of a molecular electron wave packet, and then employ a sequence...

The use of statistical modeling in baseball has received substantial attention recently in both the media and academic community. We focus on a relatively under-explored topic: the use of statistical models for the analysis of fielding based on high-resolution data consisting of on-field location of batted balls. We combine spatial modeling with a hierarchical Bayesian structure in order to eva...
