Anatomic In this paper a common (single) ventricle is defined as a ventricular chamber that receives the input of blood from both atrioventricular valves either separately or as a common atrioventricular valve" 2 (fig. 1). This common ventricular chamber may or may not communicate with a secondary, smaller outflow chamber. The two great vessels (aorta and pulmonary artery) may arise from the co...

A 48-year-old female presented with complete heart block. On evaluation, it was diagnosed as a congenital cyanotic heart disease, namely, L-transposition of great arteries (L-TGA) with Fallot's physiology. She led the normal life of a manual laborer and had three hospital deliveries and yet escaped detection of her cardiac condition.

A central claim of the modern Austrian school is that a competitive market order can solve the knowledge problem while a centrally planned economy cannot. While Austrians such as Hayek have focused on the essential role of abstract rules and the coordinating role of prices, they have largely neglected the familiar, day-to-day institutions of store fronts, standardized contracts, and specific ma...

Certainly one of the most thoroughly discussed and popular subjects in American sport history is the story of Jackie Robinson and the integration of organized baseball. Few topics elicit such a responsive chord or stir people’s emotions more than the Robinson saga. It is a tale of courage and heroics, both on the part of Robinson and Branch Rickey, the “Mahatma” or “Deacon” of the national game...

A thermoelectric gas sensor (TGS) with a combustion catalyst is a calorimetric sensor that changes the small heat of catalytic combustion into a signal voltage. We analyzed the thermal balance of a TGS to quantitatively estimate the sensor parameters. The voltage signal of a TGS was simulated, and the heat balance was calculated at two sections across the thermoelectric film of a TGS. The therm...
