Drinking speed using a Pat Saunders valved straw, wide-bore straw and a narrow-bore straw in a normal adult population

Response from a straw man.

One problem with ivory towers (often sited on Olympian heights) is that the view from them is often grossly distorted and inaccurate. The fog and miasma below often makes viewing the landscape difficult to impossible. I I personally have great difficulty in recognizing the terrain from which Alan A. Stone, MD draws his generalizations about expert testimony. First, although Stone does make one ...

Plastic straw: future of high-speed signaling

The ever-increasing demand for bandwidth triggered by mobile and video Internet traffic requires advanced interconnect solutions satisfying functional and economic constraints. A new interconnect called E-TUBE is proposed as a cost-and-power-effective all-electrical-domain wideband waveguide solution for high-speed high-volume short-reach communication links. The E-TUBE achieves an unprecedente...

Rice Straw Ash-A Novel Source of SilicaNanoparticles

In this study chemical method of dissolution-Precipitation was applied to produce amorphous silica nanoparticles from rice straw ash (RSA), the waste material of rice cultivation. The morphology, particle size, structure and area of specific surface of synthesized amorphous silica nanoparticles were evaluated using transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD) and BET...
