New Instruments for Thoracic Surgery.

Some simple techniques helpful in ant research.

Eight simple techniques which may be helpful in ant research are presented. They facilitate: (1) collecting ground-nesting ants; (2) prompting ants to go out of their nest chambers; (3) introducing ants into a test tube; (4) recapturing ants during their mass escape in the laboratory; (5) keeping tidy foraging areas of artificial ant nests; (6) keeping high level of air humidity in foraging are...

Seizure recurrence following epilepsy surgery: Is post-operative EEG helpful?

OBJECTIVES We examined whether the relationship between interictal epileptiform discharges (IED) on post-operative EEG and seizure recurrence after epilepsy surgery was different in patients with neocortical and mesiotemporal resections. METHODS We reviewed the records of 93 consecutive patients who underwent epilepsy surgery at our center and who had adequate post-operative follow-up and a p...

some ex - ante instruments for the transfer of catastrophic risks

The purpose of the work is to develop a prototype model that can be used to illustrate a model-based support for the analysis of decisions about ex-ante financial instruments for coping with consequences of natural catastrophes in developing countries. The prototype model is based on a model presented by P.K. Freeman and G.Ch.Pflug, but it has been adapted to the situation in Poland and modifie...
