This paper describes a GEMISIS doctoral research project nearing completion at the University of Salford, U.K. and offers some preliminary findings. The aim of the project was to design an interactive multimedia application for a portable computer in a museum setting, to assess the application as an aid to interpretation and to examine its impact on the visitor's understanding and enjoyment of ...

Retroplacement and torsional manipulation of the globe during forced duction testing provide an exaggerated traction test of the oblique muscles, allowing graded evaluation of superior oblique and inferior oblique tightness. On a scale from 0 to 4 +, normal superior oblique tightness averages 1.5+, and normal inferior oblique tightness averages about 1+. The degree of superior oblique or inferi...

The rapid infusion of fructose, but not of diffusely inhibit renal proximal tubular glucose or galactose, to normal male function. Data are presented that suggest volunteers produced a 30% rise in serum that fructose infusions may concomitantly uric acid. All three hexoses increased the stimulate the conversion of preformed renal excretion of uric acid, phosphate, adenine nucleotides to uric ac...

Abnormal platelet counts have been obby a fall in platelet counts and platelet served in patients with iron deficiency production to normal levels within 72 hr. at anemia. To study this relationship. rats which time stainable iron had appeared in were made iron deficient, and platelet prothe bone marrow. An inverse relationship duction was estimated by radiosulfate inbetween platelet counts and...

Sperm DNA integrity is vital for successful fertilization, embryo development, pregnancy, and transmission of genetic material to the offspring. DNA fragmentation is the most frequent DNA anomaly present in the male gamete that has been associated to poor semen quality, low fertilization rates, impaired embryo quality, and preim‐ plantation development and reduced clinical outcomes in assisted ...

This paper discusses a new kind of electronic books, hyperbooks, which are structured based on semantical content and relations, and whose structure is explicitly modeled by sets of structural and semantical abstractions based on book content, as well as on didactical and adaptation aspects. The paper extends current hypertext modeling and meta modeling approaches by integrating the notion of m...

The use of switchgrass (panicum virgatum) as the feedstock for a biofuels complex requires a procedure that coordinates harvesting, drying, storage, and densification techniques with the perpetual availability of process heat from a nuclear reactor and gas from a hydrogen facility. Preparation of feedstock involves assuring a 20% moisture content and compacting the biomass into pellets that can...

background: inferior rectus recession, knapp procedure, partial tendon transposition, and combined procedure are different surgical procedures in the management of monocular elevation deficiency (med). only a few studies have been published on the management of this problem. in this study, we report our experience with patients with med focusing on the indications and types of surgery in the so...

Thermal effects are the most dominant source for displacements in machine tools and thus work-piece inaccuracies during manufacturing process. A promising strategy to meet ever-increasing accuracy requirements is use of predictive models for, e.g., parameter design op-timizations or online correction thermally induced error at tool center point (TCP) pro-duction However, these techniques requir...
