Coley used the toxins of streptococcus pyogenes and bacillus prodigiosus to treat twelve patients with inoperable bone sarcoma, and disappearance of the tumour occurred in three cases.

XV Bi-power law correlations for sediment transport in pressure driven channel flows

Direct numerical simulation (DNS) can be used to extract information implicit in the equations of fluid-particle motion. We have investigated the lift-off of a single particle and many particles in pressure driven flows by 2D DNS (N.A. Patankar, Huang, Ko & Joseph 2001a, Ko, N.A. Patankar & Joseph 2001, Joseph, & Ocando 2001, Choi & Joseph 2001, N.A. Patankar, Ko, Choi & Joseph 2001b). We show ...

The diuretic effect of desmethyl-pipazuroyl-guanidine (MK-870) in man.

Supported in part by Grants SMOI FR-42-06, SMOI FR-42-07, and STI HE-SS26-0S from the National Institutes of Health. Received for publication May 1, 1967. Our experimental design has been divided into three parts: (1) an acute study involving the administration of single doses of the drugs to normal subjects, (2) a six-day study in normal subjects, and (3) a seven-day balance study in hypertens...
