This paper reports on an attempt to modify a circular knitting machine such that it would operate without the need for a customary tension system where a kinitting machine can operate without an asymmetric take-down system preliminary results appear promising and warrant further development. 

Abstract. The conventional two-wavelength differential absorption lidar (DIAL) has measured air pollutants such as nitrogen dioxide (NO2). However, high concentrations of aerosol within the planetary boundary layer (PBL) can cause significant retrieval errors using only a DIAL technique to measure NO2. We proposed new obtain more accurate measurements NO2 three-wavelength based on an optical pa...

BACKGROUND The diagnosis of posterolateral instability of the knee is often based on a typical indirect mechanism of injury, a history of "giving way" and a positive dial test. Our search of the English literature revealed no mention of including the valgus stress test in the diagnostic protocol for posterolateral instability. HYPOTHESIS Based on our experience, we hypothesised that a medial ...

INTRODUCTION Rates of screening colonoscopies, an effective method of preventing colorectal cancer, have increased in New York City over the past decade, and racial disparities in screening have declined. However, vulnerable subsets of the population may not be reached by traditional surveillance and intervention efforts to improve colorectal cancer screening rates. METHODS We compared rates ...

A laser transmitter has been developed and incorporated into a micro-pulse differential absorption lidar (DIAL) for water vapor profiling in the lower troposphere as an important step towards long-term autonomous field operation. The laser transmitter utilizes two distributed Bragg reflector (DBR) diode lasers to injection seed a pulsed tapered semiconductor optical amplifier (TSOA), and is cap...

Background: Injuries to the posterolateral corner of the knee (PLC) can be difficult to diagnose and are often missed. The prone dial test can be difficult to perform in the acute setting and the supine dial test requires an assistant. Purpose: We present a simple single person seated dial test that can easily be performed in all patients with a suspected diagnosis of PLC injury. Study Design: ...

Transportation on demand does not stop facilitating our daily life. In fact, for 40 years the research has contributed to the resolution of the Dial a Ride Problem to improve the service offered to customers. In this research, we contributed to the resolution of a Stochastic Dial a Ride Problem while consider four problems that may inhibit the proper functioning of service Transport on Demand ,...

BACKGROUND/AIMS Gentamicin pharmacokinetics have not been described in patients undergoing short-daily hemodialysis (SDHD). The aim of this study is to describe gentamicin pharmacokinetics and dialytic clearance (Cl(dial)) in SDHD patients and simulate gentamicin exposure after six dosing regimens to help guide future dosing. METHODS Six anuric patients undergoing SDHD were enrolled. Patients...
