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...

Diseases of travel, with particular reference to tropical diseases.

The large amount of disease acquired by travellers demonstrates that at present travel is not safe. Study of this disease, however, indicates that travel could be made safe by the application of relatively simple precautions. Groups of travellers particularly liable to develop illness include those on short-term business and holiday trips to the Tropics. Young persons undertaking low cost overl...
