Major Economic Forces Affecting Agriculture: With Particular Reference to California

Excisional surgery with ileostomy for Crohn's colitis with particular reference to factors affecting recurrence.

This paper reports the indications for, and results of, excision of the large intestine with ileostomy in 73 patients with Crohn's colitis who have been followed for a mean of nine years since resection. Sixty-four of them are still alive and all but two of the survivors are now in good health.However, 23 (33%) have developed recurrent Crohn's disease since resection. This is higher than that r...

Constrictive pericarditis with particular reference to etiology.

Phagocytosis, with particular reference to encapsulated bacteria.

The phagocytic cells of the mammalian host provide a remarkable defense against a wide variety of bacteria, fungi, and protozoa. Whether they play a protective role in infections caused by viruses and rickettsiae is at present a matter of conjecture. The discovery of "pinocytosis" (Gey, 1954), however, and recent observations relating to bacterial endotoxins (Berthrong and Cluff, 1953; Braude e...

Investigation of Dual Fuel Diesel Engine With Particular Reference to Engine Cycle Model

In order to use gaseous fuels in Diesel Engines, Dual-Fuel Diesel Engine (D. F. D. E) the pilot injection approach is chosen. To predict its performance, an engine cycle model, based on limited-pressure Diesel cycle, is constructed. The model predicts D. F. D. E performance with LPG, and CNG gases. Comparing with pure Diesel engine, by increasing gas proportion in dual-fuel, indicated power and...
