“Miss B, after the cessation of the catamenial period, became insensibly more and more languid, with general increase of bulk. This change went from year to year, her face altering from oval to round, much like the full moon at rising ... Had one not proof that such a patient had been previously fine-featured, well-formed, and active, it would be natural to suppose that it was an original defec...

Background The syllabic affiliation of ambisyllabic consonants is unclear (e.g., placid ["plæsId] & limit ["lImIt]). Standard analyses argue for their simultaneous linkage to the preceding and following syllables (Kahn 1976; Kenstowicz 1994). The analysis has been argued to receive support from meta-linguistic syllable boundary judgement tasks (Derwing 1992; Treiman and Danis 1988). However, sy...

In this paper we present successively the proposition and the design of: 1) μ-tools adapted to collaborative activity of design, and 2) a multi-agent platform adapted to innovative and distributed design of products or services. This platform called PLACID (innovating and distributed design platform) must support applications of assistance to actors implies in a design process that we have call...

disk diffusion test is the usual applicable method for assessing the antimicrobial susceptibility pattern in most institutions and hospitals. the aim of this study was to determine the reliability of resistant-reported results of disk diffusion test for 6 routinely used antibiotics against gram-positive microorganisms of nosocomial origin, using e-test method.    over a 1-year period, clinical ...

abstract         background and objective: one of the main tasks of clinical microbiology laboratories is to determine antibiotic resistance profiles in common pathogens and ensure the selection of effective antibiotics for certain infections. the aim of this study was to compare the methods of disk diffusion, broth microdilution and modified hodge test in escherichia coli isolates from urinary...

introduction: elevated intracranial pressure (icp) is a major and potentially lethal disorder in patients admitted to the emergency department (ed). several methods are being used to investigate for elevated icp. here we assessed and compared the diagnostic accuracy of two existing tools of ophthalmoscopy and optic nerve ultrasonography in detection of elevated icp. methods: 131 participants wi...

We present numerical simulations of misaligned discs around a spinning black hole covering range parameters. Previous have shown that are strongly warped by forced precession -- in this case the Lense-Thirring effect from can break apart into discrete or rings behave quasi-independently for short timescales. With we here, confirm thin and highly inclined more susceptible to disc tearing than th...
