In this study, we examined genetic and environmental influences on covariation among two reading tests used in neuropsychological assessment (Cambridge Contextual Reading Test [CCRT], [Beardsall, L., and Huppert, F. A. (1994). J. Clin. Exp. Neuropsychol. 16:232-242], Schonell Graded Word Reading Test [SGWRT], [Schonell, F. J., and Schonell, P. E. (1960). Diagnostic and attainment testing. Edinb...

-The spectra of either temperature, salinity or vertical velocity which might be measured by a sensor moving through a field of salt fingers are considered. A theoretical calculation is presented which attempts to incorporate the deviations from squareness and perfect orientation of the salt fingers. The resulting spectra rise to a peak close to ~o = (x/2)kv and decrease rapidly for larger to, ...

Cereal Chem. 90(3):204–210 A new class of zein additives was investigated, thiocyanate salts. Ammonium, potassium, guanidine (GTC), and magnesium thiocyanate salts were added to solutions of zein in with various amounts of tri(ethylene glycol) (TEG), cast as films, and then tested to determine the impact that each salt had on properties. The presence of these salts affected solution rheology an...

Gravity currents are a ubiquitous fluid dynamical phenomenon which involve the horizontal spreading of fluid masses under their own weight or buoyancy. A theoretical model is developed to account for the effects of bulk cooling on the dynamics and morphology of geological gravity currents, with particular focus on mantle plume heads spreading beneath the lithosphere. As many geological gravity ...

TOPIC: Critical Care TYPE: Original Investigations PURPOSE: Cerebral oximetry is a non-invasive method of monitoring regional cerebral oxygenation (rSO2). rSO2 has been proposed as an alternative to end-tidal CO2 (ETCO2) predictor return spontaneous circulation (ROSC) and end-organ perfusion. Previously, we demonstrated that higher associated with rates ROSC improved neurologic recovery in in-h...
