W H E N the Manhigh capsule system was being designed in the fall of 1955, the pr imary objective was a maximum performance system of minimum weight that could lift a man into a space equivalent environment for twenty-four hours. This objective 'had to be met safely and supply an answer to what the man could :do if any specific componem failed. Beyond this, an effort was made to provide him wit...

Abstract There are fan noise and transformer sources inside the converter cabin which may bring environmental pollution through airborne or structural borne paths. In order to identify contribution of each source its path, transfer path analysis test was performed. Take full load working condition at speed as an example, contributions air noise, 88.33%, 3.79%, 7.37% 0.51% respectively. The is 9...

When a vehicle is left parked in the sun for an extended period, gathered heat causes damage to several interiors within cabin and discomfort people animals inside car. In present work, effect of orientation white minibus on temperature distribution cooling load calculation studied experimentally open environment. Two different cases were facing south east. For hours, car had been monitored mea...

BACKGROUND Acute limb ischemia (ALI), although uncommon, can present with profound symptoms, including disabling pain in the setting of acute vascular and neurologic deficits. The most appropriate diagnostic and therapeutic strategy has evolved with emerging technologies inclusive of less-invasive endovascular diagnostic and therapeutic options. OBJECTIVE We present a case of ALI to illustrat...

Despite the advent of and exciting advances in novel endovascular therapies, t-PA remains the only proven treatment for acute ischemic stroke to date. Although a variety of reasons likely underlie why past trials of endovascular strategies have been unsuccessful, we address in this perspective piece one critical unknown for which a solution is undoubtedly necessary if future ones are to meet wi...

The treatment of symptomatic aortoiliac occlusive disease has shifted from open to endovascular repair. Both short- and long-term outcomes after percutaneous angioplasty and stenting rival those after open repair and justify an endovascular-first approach. In this article, we review the current endovascular treatment strategies in patients with aortoiliac occlusive disease, indications for prim...

In this paper we consider the numerical solution of taxis–diffusion–reaction models. Such nonlinear partial differential equation models appear often in mathematical biology and we consider examples from tumour growth and invasion, and the aggregation of amoebae. These examples are characterised by a taxis term which is large in magnitude compared with the diffusion term and this can cause nume...

A number of eubacterial species contain methyl-accepting taxis proteins that are antigenically and thus structurally related to the well-characterized methyl-accepting chemotaxis proteins of Escherichia coli. Recent studies of the archaebacterium Halobacterium halobium have characterized methyl-accepting taxis proteins that in some ways resemble and in other ways differ from the analogous eubac...
