Orthopaedics Surges Ahead.PDF

The year 2007 marked the 60th year of Indian Independence, but a sizable number of Indians are waiting to be freed from the gripping pain in their joints and bones. What these patients would like is to reduce, if not end their suffering and improve the health-related quality of life. This is exactly what the Bone and Joint Decade (BJD) — a multi-disciplinary international initiative supported b...

A Theory of Glacier Surges

We propose a model of glacier flow for at least a hundred years, and a major conthat is capable of explaining temperate glacier ference (see Canadian Journal of Earth Sciences, surges. The laws of conservation of mass and vol. 6, pp. 807-1018, 1969) was devoted to their momentum are supplemented by the prescription study. Meier and Post [1969] summed up many of of a sliding law that gives the b...

Glacial surges and flood legends.

End-of-life electrical surges.

We read the study by Borjigin et al. about postcardiac arrest electrical activity and the possible explanation for near death experiences (NDEs) with great interest (1). Our research group at The George Washington University Medical Center published an observation of end-of-life electrical surges (ELES) in 2009 (2). In that study, we proposed that ELES could be responsible for NDEs, and this ne...

A Mathematical Analysis of Glacier Surges

This paper describes the phenomena of glacier surges and presents a mathematical model based on realistic descriptions of glacier physics, which purports to describe the main features of the flow. The analysis reveals and predicts a variety of phenomena, many of which have been observed to occur, and gives explicit estimates for such quantities as surge front extent, "mini-surge" propagation sp...
