Professor Emeritus, Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology and Neuroscience, King’s College London, UK, [email protected] In this issue, three papers discuss the issue of the brain drain: of psychiatrists from Egypt and Nigeria, and of nurses from East Africa. They explore the complexities of professional migration and its impact on the health of populations in source and recipient countries; they a...

Based on the self-developed standard process RF-LDMOS device, a new ultra-wideband RF power amplifier is designed in this letter. The removes absorbing resistor and capacitor series structure at end of drain. stability circuit enhanced by pre-matching circuit. Considering small impedance value high-power it difficult to achieve broadband matching. novel tapering drain transmission has been deve...

Spontaneous rupture of the esophagus, which is also known as Boerhaave's syndrome, is a rare life-threatening condition that requires urgent surgical management. The optimal treatment involves surgical repair of the esophageal defect, which is usually accomplished via laparotomy, thoracotomy, or both, and mediastinal debridement. Here, we report a case of spontaneous rupture of the esophagus th...

S OF SCIENTIFIC AND TECHNICAL PAPERS2 Reprint 107. THE DRAINAGE OF LAND OVERLYING ARTESIAN BASINS. By W. Gardner. O. W. Israelsen, and W. W. McLaughlins • In SOIL SCIENCE, Vol. 26, No.1 (July, 1928), pp. 33-45. The methods of hydrodynamics are used in an effort to calculate the influence of drain tile and of wells on the water-logged condition of fine-textured .oils due to hydrostatic pressure in

Atension pneumothorax is a life threatening condition in which there is a large rise in intrathoracic pressure on the side of the affected hemithorax. This condition may rapidly lead to death. Prompt treatment of the condition is required and most of the texts on the treatment of patients with this condition suggest that the pressure is released by the placement of a large bore trocar and cannu...

STUDY DESIGN A retrospective observational study. OBJECTIVE We evaluated the prognostic value of drain tip culture performed for surgical site infection (SSI) after spinal surgery with a large number of subjects, and investigated whether the type of surgery or timing of drain removal correlated with positive drain culture and SSI rates. SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA In many institutions, routi...

In this paper, the electrical performance of double gate organic field effecttransistor (DG-OFET) are thoroughly investigated and feasibility of the deviceas an efficient biosensor is comprehensively assessed. The introduced deviceprovides better gate control over the channel, yielding better charge injectionproperties from source to channel and providing higher on-state...

In present scenario high voltage AlGaN/GaN High Electron Mobility Transistors (HEMTs) on Si substrate with Schottky drain contacts were simulated to increase the breakdown voltage by replacing the conventional Ohmic drain contacts. A significant increase in breakdown voltage values was achieved for nonannealed Schottky contacts by elimination of metal spikes underneath drain electrodes. The bre...
