The urban fringe which can be seen as a special form of regional ecosystems with a spatial structure gradually from urban to rural areas of transition, has strong heterogeneity and is typical of ecologically sensitive areas. The expansion of city caused wide attention to the landscape effect of the changes. With the help of GIS, we got landscape pattern changes before and after town planning of...

Polycythemia in carriers of hemoglobin J Cape Town or hemoglobin Chesapeake is thought to be produced by increased oxygen affinity of their blood. Both hemoglobins involve substitution of amino acid residue alpha FG-4. Measurements reported here, of the oxygen equilibrium of purified hemoglobin J Cape Town, permit direct comparison of the two hemoglobins. J Cape Town exhibits lower oxygen affin...

MOOsburg is a community-oriented multi-user domain. It was created to enrich the Blacksburg Electronic Village (BEV) by providing real-time, situated interaction and a place-based model for community information. Three versions of MOOsburg have been developed: a classic text-based MOO, a MOO extended to drive a Web-browser, and a Java-based system. The most recent version of MOOsburg is fundame...

The effective apparatus deadspace of the Magill, Potter and Cape Town gas circuits has been investigated using a model system simulating 3and 8-year-old children. (1) The Cape Town system is more suitable for smaller children. (2) The Potter system is more suitable for larger children. (3) A generous fresh gas flow will decrease the deadspace of the Potter and the Cape Town systems. A flow of d...

(The admission and discharge rate from and to the town, though small, was valuable in this respect.) It seemed too discouraging to ask any person or small group to visit and help 850 hospital patients, but we were thinking of our patients in the institutional mass. By breaking i...
