Allowable Mechanical Stress Applied to a Spider’s Lifeline

A lifeline for primary care.

n engl j med 360;26 nejm.org june 25, 2009 2693 levels.1 Overloaded primary care practices, whose doctors are aptly compared to hamsters on a treadmill, struggle to provide prompt access and high-quality care. Three major factors contribute to this crisis. First, primary care physicians earn far lower incomes than procedural specialists, reducing career attractiveness for medical students with ...

A lifeline for lipid rafts?

In Focus • THE JOURNAL OF CELL BIOLOGY S o far, defi nitive proof of the existence of lipid rafts in vivo has slipped through researchers’ fi ngers. Although their results probably won’t settle the debate over whether such structures exist, Toulmay and Prinz reveal that yeast produce raft-like domains in a surprising place (1). The original raft hypothesis held that the plasma membrane harbors ...

A simple flash sintering setup under applied mechanical stress and controlled atmosphere

UNLABELLED Most flash sintering experimental set-ups use dog bone-shaped specimen and DC current, which results in heterogeneously distributed densification and grain growth throughout the sample. This is the reason why only the sample's core characteristics after flash are taken into account. On the other hand, some recent procedures suggest the use of cylindrical pellets, which have some adva...

American Society of Anesthesiologists' lifeline to learning.

7 January 2014 E has been one of the core missions of the anesthesiology specialty and of the American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) since the early days of postgraduate medical education. From the first public demonstration of the use of ether,1 the specialty has been at the forefront of education with innovation such as simulation-based training. During this time, continuing medical educ...
