Simulation ... SimpleSimulation ... Front-end Back-end object gets modified by being sent as a parameter to the diffuse method in the Simulation class. Once the diffuse method returns having modified its Plate parameter, the front-end is signaled to repaint itself. The visual components can access the updated data of the Plate object and redraw. Note that the main computation logic of the therm...

The biology and behaviour of the psyllid Diaphorina citri Kuwayama (Hemiptera: Sternorrhyncha: Liviidae), the major insect vector of bacteria associated with huanglongbing, have been extensively studied with respect to host preferences, thermal requirements, and responses to visual and chemical volatile stimuli. However, development of the psyllid in relation to the ontogeny of immature citrus ...

THE PARAMETERS OF SINGLE FIBRE EMG To detect abnormal neuromuscular transmission, two parameters are analysed: ‘jitter’ as an indicator of irregularity of neuromuscular transmission, and ‘blocking’ as an indicator of failure of transmission (Stålberg and Trontelj 1994). Each lower motor neurone arising from an anterior horn of the spinal cord connects with a number of muscle fi bres via the ter...

Study Design Retrospective study. Objectives Lumbar radiculopathy is rarely observed in patients who have achieved bony healing of vertebral fractures in the middle-lower lumbar spine. The objectives of the study were to clarify the clinical features of such radiculopathy and to evaluate the preliminary outcomes of treatment using a modified posterior lumbar interbody fusion (PLIF) procedure. M...

Many non-insulin dependent diabetics (NIDDs) on the sulphonylurea chlorpropamide experience intense facial flushing after taking alcohol even in small amounts. This chlorpropamide alcohol flush (CPAF) was first recognized within months of the introduction of the drug in the 1950s [ l ] but, although an alcohol flush occasionally occurs with tolbutamide [ 2 , 31, it has not been reported with ot...

A deterministic model was developed to predict pollutant mass first flush and to utilize it for better design of best management practices (BMPs) that focus on treating the first flush. The model used the kinematic wave equation to calculate flow and mass transport, and erosion equations to calculate pollutant concentrations, which were assumed to be from a short and a long term source. The mod...

Aspirin has been observed to block or attenuate the flush reaction caused by niacin in 90 percent of a group of schizophrenic and nonschizophrenic outpatients. The patients were not treated with tranquilizers or antiinflammatory agents concurrently. The basis for this phenomenon, the blocking of the niacin flush by aspirin, is probably due to inhibition of prostaglandin synthesis by aspirin. In...

In this paper, a new kind of end-fire array was built by employing high directivity plate end-fire antenna as the basic element based on electromagnetic surface wave theory. Being different from normal end-fire array, in the new array, high directivity plate endfire antenna elements were arranged end to end along the end-fire direction, and the interelement spacing and uniform progressive phase...
