Abstract We investigate, in microcanonical multifragmentation models, the influence of the amount of energy dissipated in break-up fragments excitation on freeze-out volume determination. Assuming a limiting temperature decreasing with nuclear mass, we obtain for the Xe+Sn at 32 MeV/nucleon reaction [J. D. Frankland et al., Nucl. Phys. A689, 905 (2001); A689, 940 (2001)] a freeze-out volume alm...

The MultiFilter Rotating Shadowband Radiometer (MFRSR) (Harrison and Michalsky 1994a, 1994b) measures atmospheric column extinction of the direct solar beam and the diffuse radiation intensity at six wavelengths. Located at the National Aeronautics and Space Administration's Goddard Institute for Space Studies in New York City, the instrument has six spectral channels at 415, 501, 616, 672, 870...

Fig. 1. The tumor, originating from the right posterior chest wall and involving the 8th, 9th and 10th ribs, had invaded the right thoracic cavity and was causing compression of the right lung and leftward displacement of the mediastinum. The patient had no history of pregnancy or surgical trauma in her chest wall. Preoperatively, the patient’s vital capacity was 940 ml (34% of normal) and echo...

More than 1.2 million percutaneous coronary interventions are performed annually in the United States, withonly an estimated 33% performed in women, despite the established benefits of percutaneous coronary intervention andadjunctive pharmacotherapy in reducing fatal and nonfatal ischemic complications in acute myocardial infarction andhigh-risk acute coronary syndromes. This statem...

Mucoceles are nonneoplastic cystic lesions of major and minor salivary glands which result from the accumulation of mucus. These lesions are most commonly seen in children. Though usually these lesions can be treated by local surgical excision, in our case, to avoid intraoperative surgical complications like bleeding and edema and to enable better healing, excision was done using a diode laser ...
