Telephone interviews were initially conducted for fi ve cases using a hypothesis-generating questionnaire. These interviews revealed that all fi ve cases worked in the Brisbane Central Business District (CBD) and had eaten takeaway sushi as a lunch meal in the fi ve days prior to their illness. Four cases reported eating takeaway sushi rolls from the same sushi takeaway outlet (outlet A) and on...

The microfluidic sperm-sorting (MFSS) device is a promising advancement for assisted reproductive technology. Previously, poly(dimethylsiloxiane) and quartz MFSS devices were developed and used for intracytoplasmic sperm injection. However, these disposable devices were not clinically suitable for assisted reproduction, so a cyclo-olefin polymer MFSS (COP-MFSS) device was developed. By micromac...

This study aimed at optimizing horizontal subsurface flow constructed wetlands (CWs) to improve hydraulic performance and pollutant removal efficiency. A groundwater modeling package (MODFLOW) was used to optimize three design parameters (length-to-width ratio, inlet/outlet-to-length ratio, and substrate size configuration). Using the optimized parameters, three pilot-scale CWs were built to tr...

The stationary discontinuous armatures that are used in permanent magnet linear synchronous motors (PMLSMs) have been proposed as a driving source for transportation systems. However, the stationary discontinuous armature PM-LSM contains the outlet edges which always exist as a result of the discontinuous arrangement of the armature. For this reason, the high alteration of the outlet edge coggi...

We present a dynamic reputation model of news reporting by a profitmaximizing media outlet whose credibility is uncertain to the public. In each period, the media outlet chooses its source of news: a costly independent investigation or, possibly, a free report prepared by an interest group. The revenue of the media outlet consists of the subscription fees for the public and the access fees for ...

The MINERVE project was initiated for flood management in the Upper Rhone river basin. Its first goal is the prediction of floods. The second one is the optimum management of the complex system of hydropower plants located in the basin in order to diminish the peak discharge in the Rhone River and its tributaries. The MINERVE Interactive Decision Support (MINDS) proposes turbine and bottom outl...

Thoracic outlet syndrome (TOS) is a symptom complex attributed to compression of the nerves and vessels as they exit the thoracic outlet. Classified into several sub-types, conservative management is generally recommended as the first stage treatment in favor of surgical intervention. In cases where postural deviations contribute substantially to compression of the thoracic outlet, the rehabili...
