Manley Hudson 1886–1960

Statement Benoı̂t Hudson

I am a computational geometer specializing in (a) quality mesh refinement, and (b) dynamic geometric algorithms. While computational geometry is beautiful in its own right, what drives my work is its application to scientific computing – in particular, the finite element method. My focus straddles theory and practice: I intend to implement all my algorithms, and I intend to mathematically analy...

When do the Manley-Rowe relations really hold?

One in nine women will develop breast cancer in her lifetime (Canadian Cancer Society, 2007). Hereditary breast cancer accounts for only five to 10 per cent of all breast cancers. However, women carrying a single high-penetrance gene mutation have a 40% to 80% chance of developing breast cancer (Fackenthal & Olopade, 2007). Most of these breast cancers occur in women under the age of 50. The BR...

Intermittent mandatory ventilation during anaesthesia using the Manley Servovent ventilator.

The lungs of 25 patients were ventilated with intermittent mandatory ventilation (IMV) during anaesthesia using the Manley Servovent Model MS. This ventilatory mode is especially suitable for prolonged operations in which there is no need for muscle relaxation. While incorporating the advantages of spontaneous and mechanical ventilation, it is superior to both in selected cases. The Manley Serv...
