PURPOSE To evaluate outcome of 6-strand triple Kessler repair for flexor tendon injuries, followed by early active motion rehabilitation. METHODS 25 men and one woman (36 fingers) underwent 6-strand triple Kessler repair for flexor tendon injuries in zones 2 to 5, followed by early active motion rehabilitation. Rehabilitation was started at days 3 to 5. Patients were instructed to passively f...

Existing Sundqvist-type parameterizations, which only consider dependence of the autoconversion rate on cloud liquid water content, are generalized to explicitly account for the droplet concentration and relative dispersion of the cloud droplet size distribution as well. The generalized Sundqvist-type parameterization includes the more commonly used Kessler-type parameterization as a special ca...

images inspired by the remarkable twists and turns in the shape of pollen grains from different plant species collected by the artist from specimens growing in the gardens' cornfield last summer. Kessler was awarded a three-year grant to work with Madeline Harley at the Micromorphology Unit at Kew. The remarkable shapes of pollen grains reveal important diagnostic features of plants used by sci...
