reinforced tubes are commonly used to minimize the opportunity of upper airway obstruction in patients at risk. there are a few reports of the airway obstruction resulted from kinked reinforced tubes. this report describes the obstruction of a reinforced tube in an adult patient who underwent tonsillectomy. under general anesthesia; an armoured endotracheal tube was inserted into the trachea un...

“. . .though a Philosopher need not be sollicitous that his style should delight its Reader with his Floridnesse, yet I think he may very well be allow’d to take a Care that it disgust not his Reader by its Flatness, especially when he does not so much deliver Experiments or explicate them, as make Reflections or Discourses on them; for on such Occasions he may be allow’d the liberty of recreat...

Thermodynamics originated with the study of heat engines. A precursor to heat engines, the vacuum pump, was designed by the German scientist Otto von Guericke who, in 1650, created the world’s first ever vacuum in what are known as the Magdeburg hemispheres. He was driven to make a vacuum in order to disprove Aristotle’s long-held supposition that “Nature abhors a vacuum”. Shortly thereafter, I...

We are interested in the following work in the doubly stochastic matrix nearness problem. Instances of this problems occurs in differents fields: aggregation of preferences in operational research, calculus of variations and shape optimisation, etc. We propose here a direct study via the projection theorem and a numerical resolution inspired by the alternating projections algorithm of Boyle-Dyk...

Although it has been known for more than a decade that the volume of isolated mitochondria is inversely related to the osmolarity of the surrounding medium (2, 3), it was not until 1955 that Tedeschi and Harris (4) demonstrated that mitochondria obey Boyle-van% Hoff’s Law. Since then, supporting evidence for the osmotic behavior of these subcellular structures has been ample (5, 6). In 1957 and...
