A concise paper for an invited presentation for the IEE colloquim on “Distributed systems support for digital audio and video”. Object distribution has been regarded as one of the most important paradigms for distributed processing since the early eighties. The increasing popularity of digital audio and video applications presents new challenges to the traditional object distribution models. Th...

In recent years, there has been a proliferation of techniques utilizing the ansa cervicalis nerve to reinnervate the paralyzed larynx. The anatomic course and morphology of the ansa cervicalis are complicated by the variable course and location along the great vessels of the neck, as well as the significant differences observed in the arrangement of its contributing roots and regional branching...

Ethylarsine dichloride was used during WW I as a chemical warfare agent. Residues of this chemical warfare agent and its metabolites are still present today and continue to contaminate soil and water. A gas Chromatographic method for the detection and determination of ethylarsine dichloride is shown. Six dithiols were tested as possible derivatization reagents for ethylarsine dichloride. With s...

The intestines and mesentery of the nutria (Myocastor coypus) have not been fully described. In the present study 30 adult nutrias were studied using gross dissection. The small intestine was divided into the duodenum, jejunum and ileum as usual. The duodenum started at the pylorus with a cranial portion, which dilated forming a duodenal ampulla. The ileum was located within the concavity of th...

BACKGROUND Bone metastases are associated with increased morbidity and poor prognosis in breast cancer patients. Radium-223 dichloride is a calcium mimetic that localizes to bone, providing targeted therapy for skeletal metastasis. METHODS We investigated the mode of action of radium-223 dichloride using breast cancer cell, osteoclast, and osteoblast cultures as well as a mouse model of breas...

Conjugated dienes were produced with complete regio- and stereoselectivity by the titanocene(ii)-promoted alkylation of propargyl carbonates via the formation of 2,3,4-trisubstituted titanacyclobutenes.

A cholesterol-appended titanocene gelator was synthesised which forms twisted fibers able to gelate a variety of solvents of different polarity as demonstrated by spectroscopic and microscopic techniques.

This is an article for IEEE Computer which explains the rationale for ANSA; the principles that underpin the architecture and uses a simple telecommunications oriented scenario to explore the architectural framework. It is an amalgam of APM.1000 and the author’s 1993 TINA Conference Keynote address.. An Overview of ANSA (for IEEE Network)

AIM To determine the non-biased prevalence and clinical significance of ansa pancreatica in patients with acute pancreatitis using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). METHODS Our institutional review board approved this cross-sectional study, which consisted of a community-based cohort of 587 consecutive participants in a whole-body health-check program, and 73 subjects with episode of acute pa...
