Ensuring Electromagnetic Compatibility On Newly Built Vessels for the Polish Navy

Mycoplasma pneumoniae Outbreaks on Navy Vessels.

It was a great pleasure to read the nicely written article published in the journal on an Mycoplasma pneumoniae outbreak on a U.S. Navy vessel (7). Indeed M. pneumoniae outbreaks have commonly been reported in military settings, being attributed mainly to the close proximity of army personnel and recruits (1, 3, 5, 6). Two types of epidemics have been noted: smoldering epidemics that occur over...

Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC)

According to IEC 61000-1-1 [148], ―Electromagnetic compatibility is the ability of an equipment or system to function satisfactorily in its electromagnetic environment without introducing intolerable electromagnetic disturbances to anything in that environment.‖ The first part of the definition, ―ability ............to function ............in its............ environment‖ fits well with the afor...

Ensuring Query Compatibility with Evolving XML Schemas

During the life cycle of an XML application, both schemas and queries may change from one version to another. Schema evolutions may affect query results and potentially the validity of produced data. Nowadays, a challenge is to assess and accommodate the impact of theses changes in rapidly evolving XML applications. This article proposes a logical framework and tool for verifying forward/backwa...

Newly-Formed Subretinal Vessels

The ultrastructure of experimentally induced newly formed subretinal vessels was correlated with the amount of fluorescein leakage demonstrated by the neovascular membranes during angiography. The membranes that demonstrated leakage contained subretinal vessels with a fenestrated endothelial wall and intermediate interendothelial cell junctions. As these subretinal plexi matured, they stopped d...
