The Oil Drop Sign

"Finger drop sign" in Guillain-Barré syndrome.

BACKGROUND Guillain-Barriota syndrome (GBS) is an acute neurological illness affecting the peripheral nervous system causing significant morbidity. The syndrome has been classified electrophysiologically into demyelinating and axonal forms. The clinical features of the axonal variant (acute motor axonal neuropathy--AMAN) are not well characterized, particularly in the Indian context. OBJECTIV...

“Fuzzy oil drop” model verified positively

The "fuzzy oil drop" model assuming the structure of the hydrophobic core of the form of 3-D Gauss function appeared to be verified positively. The protein 1NMF belonging to downhill proteins was found to represent the hydrophobic density distribution accordant with the assumed model. The accordance of the protein structure with the assumed model was measured using elements of theory informatio...

Simulation on the Temperature Drop Rule of Hot Oil Pipeline

The heat transfer equation of oil, pipe wall and soil, combining with the boundary condition, connection condition and initial conditions to be the differential equations which can simulate the temperature drop rule of hot oil pipeline. Then the numerical solution method is used to solve, constructed difference equations. By the gauss elimination method, the temperature changing rule of hot oil...

Isolation of Indonesian Cananga Oil by Instantaneous Controlled Pressure Drop

The isolation of cananga oil by a new process, Instantaneous Controlled Pressure Drop (DIC), was investigated. This process consists in heating the dry cananga (Cananga odorata Hook. fil. et Thomson, forma macrophylla) flowers for a short time period by steam, followed by an abrupt pressure drop into a vacuum (about 5 kPa). This pressure drop provokes auto-vaporization of the volatile compounds...
