The construction of a sealed, CO2 gas discharge laser was undertaken as an independent study project. Glass laser tube design as well as clear acrylic housing makes this an excellent demonstrational tool. Sealed operation was characterized in mode, power, warm-up and stability over the period of weeks. Novel design approaches are used for expediency and cost savings and an anomalus turn-on beha...

A late development model of the Tec 6 vaporizer for the administration of desflurane vapour has been evaluated. It is heated electrically and has both electronic monitors of vaporizer function and alarms. The new filling system is a significant improvement over previous Tec filling systems. The vaporizer requires a warm-up period before it may be used, but when activated it provides an output t...

The purpose of this study was to investigate the acute effect of different stretching methods, during a warm-up, on the acceleration and speed of soccer players. The acceleration performance of 20 collegiate soccer players (body height: 177.25 ± 5.31 cm; body mass: 65.10 ± 5.62 kg; age: 16.85 ± 0.87 years; BMI: 20.70 ± 5.54; experience: 8.46 ± 1.49 years) was evaluated after different warm-up p...
