The U.S. Army has a need for continuous, accurate estimates of the wet bulb globe temperature to protect soldiers and civilian workers from heat-related injuries, including those involved in the storage and destruction of aging chemical munitions at depots across the United States. At these depots, workers must don protective clothing that increases their risk of heat-related injury. Because of...

Antipsychotic drugs have a central role in treating schizophrenia, but they are associated with a variety of side effects. One of the most dangerous adverse effects of these agents is prolongation of the heart rate-corrected QT interval (QTc). QTc prolongation is associated with the occurrence of torsades de pointes, a polymorphic ventricular tachycardia which may precipitate lethal ventricular...

Houses were built, a few retired officers made their way to it, a depot for Military invalids was opened, and ? one or two Civilians and Merchants sent their families to the place. But it became evident after a time, that Darjeeling had not achieved popularity. The station increased very slowly; such institutions as are...

The extended Kalman filter has been shown to be a precise method for nonlinear state estimation and is the facto standard in navigation systems. However, if initial estimated far from true one, may diverge, mainly due an inconsistent linearization. Moreover, interval filters guarantee robust reliable, yet unprecise discontinuous localization. This paper proposes choose point by method, as linea...

TO THE EDITOR—We read with interest the article by Dalfino et al [1] that evaluated a high-dose extended-interval colistin dosage regimen for critically ill patients. Colistin is experiencing resurgence in use given the rise in multidrug-resistant infections [2]. As a result, studies that provide outcome data to support clinical dosage regimens are valuable. From a safety perspective, the varia...
