A procedure is presented for calculating the hydraulic conductivity of an aquifer near a well from the rate of rise of the water level in the well after a certain volume of water is suddenly removed. The calculation is based on the Thiem equation of steady state flow to a welL. The effective radius Re over which the head difference between the equilibrium water table in the aquifer and the wate...

Abstract Pseudoaneurysm of the palmar arch is a rare entity. Diagnosis dependent on high clinical suspicion. We present case referred to emergency department, with history glass penetrating trauma surface pulsatile mass and jet bleeding. Doppler ultrasound evidenced partially thrombosed pseudoaneurysm. A CT angiography examination showed saccular formation arising from superficial arch. convent...

The field of gene therapy is starting to move towards clinical applications but is currently limited by the lack of efficient delivery systems. Cell-penetrating peptides provide a means of cellular delivery for gene therapy applications as well as delivery of traditional drugs. Using cell-penetrating peptides a range of different cargoes have been successfully delivered into a number of cell ty...

BACKGROUND Exposure to acute, potentially traumatic events is an unfortunately common experience for children and adolescents. Posttraumatic stress (PTS) responses following acute trauma can have an ongoing impact on child development and well-being. Early intervention to prevent or reduce PTS responses holds promise but requires careful development and empirical evaluation. OBJECTIVES The ai...
