LERKE, PETER (University of California Medical Center, San Francisco), RALPH ADAMS, AND LIONEL FARBER. Bacteriology of spoilage of fish muscle. I. Sterile press juice as a suitable experimental medium. Appl. Microbiol. 11:458-462. 1963.-A sterile raw fish muscle press juice, diluted 1:4 with saline, has been prepared. This dilution greatly facilitated Seitz filtration and affected the spoilage ...

Introduction: Steady state MRI-sequences are widely used for clinical applications. In particular, balanced steady-state free precession (b-SSFP) has become increasingly important for diagnostic and interventional imaging [1]. However, contrast modification by using magnetization preparation sequences, (like fat suppression or regional signal suppression), requires the use of transient steady s...

Nomenclature (contlnued) The paper discusses the development and testing of a real-time Takeoff Performance M Pitching moment (ft_lb) Monitoring System. The algorithm is madeup of two MACH Mach number segments: a pretakeoff segment and a real_time p Roll Rate (rad/sec) segment, q Pitch Rate (rad/sec) One_time inputs of ambient conditions and r Yaw Rate (rad/sec) airplane configuration informati...

Evaluations of health-care programmes are only as good as the data and methods used, and as in all longitudinal research, loss to follow-up is among the prime spoilers. For cohort studies including randomised controlled trials, loss to follow-up attenuates the ability to examine outcomes or the eff ect of an intervention and predictors of these outcomes. Patient-level data from health facilitie...

Introduction High-resolution 3D imaging is useful for improving the specificity of breast MRI since morphological characteristics, such as spiculations and heterogeneity, vary with histology [1]. The specificity of breast MRI can be further improved by considering physiological information such as diffusion [2]. Unlike T1-weighted contrast-enhanced imaging, it is difficult to acquire high-resol...

Direct numerical simulations are used to investigate transonic flow acoustic resonance in an open cavity. The numerical scheme minimizes the errors due to dispersion and dissipation of acoustic waves, and resolves both the unsteady flow and radiated acoustic field. Implicit solution of the compressible Navier-Stokes equations is obtained using a compact high-order spacial differencing scheme, c...

What would I do if cast out of my life with nothing?Forced to ask ourselves this question in the first two chapters genre-bending, disturbing novel—John Bennion's most complex yet—we get, early on, a glimpse what he's up to: verb tense shifts from scene scene, as Lily, our protagonist, is her life, deprived by vicious ex money, credit, phone, home, and child, she must now cite paragraph-long li...

Introduction Weak water suppression is used in some localized proton (H) spectroscopy applications, so that a considerable amount of water signal remains and can be used for various purposes. In these cases the spectra might suffer from sidebands of residual water signal caused by coil vibrations. Various methods have been published previously [1-4] to eliminate these sidebands. But most of the...

This article examines the African Standby Force (ASF), an African-led mechanism for crisis management and peace consolidation in Africa, and its potential contribution to multilayered security governance. It analyses the ASF project, which has gone through many phases of redefinition since it was conceived in the late 1990s and elaborates on the inability of African stakeholders to settle on a ...

Introduction Xe129 dissolves into tissue and binds hemoglobin in the lung (dissolved phase or DP) [1,2]. Study of the dynamics of DP Xe129 is enabled by its large chemical shift at about 200 ppm from the gas-phase signal as well as hyperpolarization [3,4]. The DP Xe129 signal can be further split into a peak of Xe dissolved into tissue and blood plasma (TP Xe) at approximately 197 ppm and anoth...
