ABSTRACTIntroductionEmpyema is an accumulation of pus in the pleural space. Empyema necessitans occurs when pus extends through the parietal pleura into the surrounding tissues.Case ReportWe present here a 4 month old babywith severe respiratory distress and anassociated huge boggy swelling over the left side of his chest and back.

Observations of Pulsating Stars

Pulsations discussed will begin at the “top” of the instability strip with pulsating red giants and Miras, which are evolved stars nearing their own demise. The next discussed will be the Cepheids, both the “Classical” ones as well as the W Virginis (Population II stars). While moving down the instability strip of the HR Diagram, the next major type of variable (pulsating) star are the RR Lyrae...

Pulsating Variable Stars

This REU summer project dealt mainly with analyzing data and determining the periods of certain types of pulsating variable stars called RR Lyraes and Cepheids. Pulsating variables periodically change in brightness over a certain amount of time for reasons having to do with the internal structure of the star itself. Dr. Horace Smith has been studying such variables in our neighboring galaxy, th...
