The general structures of the vibrational states of HCO and its isotopomer DCO are analyzed in terms of periodic orbits (POs) and continuation/bifurcation diagrams. Both bound and resonance states are considered. It is shown that the members of the pure overtones are guided by POs, even in the continuum. In particular, it is demonstrated that the highly anharmonic states localized along the dis...

Among animal facilities, compost-bedded pack (CBP) barns have attracted a lot of attention from milk producers and the scientific community. Systematic investigation main thermal properties utilizing sawdust in CBP is environmental economic relevance. In this paper, aim was to (a) develop predictive equations for conductivity (k) compost bedding as function moisture content (MC), degree compact...

This article introduces a low-jitter low-spur fractional-N phase-locked loop (PLL) adopting new concept of time-mode arithmetic unit (TAU) for phase error extraction. The TAU is time-signal processor that calculates the weighted sum input time offsets. It processes two inputs—the period digitally controlled oscillator (DCO) and instantaneous offset between DCO reference clock edges—and then ext...

T welve contiguous regional cancer registries are responsible for collecting and collating data on all incident cancers in the UK using data supplied by hospitals, including pathology departments. All death certificates mentioning cancer are returned to the appropriate registry to enable date of death to be recorded. In the event that this procedure identifies a cancer that has not been previou...

Abstract. We report the distributions and stoichiometry of dissolved zinc (dZn) cobalt (dCo) in sub-tropical sub-Antarctic waters south-eastern Atlantic Ocean during austral spring 2010 summer 2011/2012. In surface waters, mixed-layer dZn dCo concentrations early were 1.60 ± 2.58 nM 30 11 pM, respectively, compared with values 0.14 0.08 24 6 pM. The elevated resulted from an apparent offshore t...

BACKGROUND Fractures of the long bones and femur fractures in particular are common in multiple trauma patients, but the optimal management of femur fractures in these patients is not yet resolved. Although there is a trend towards the concept of "Damage Control Orthopedics" (DCO) in the management of multiple trauma patients with long bone fractures as reflected by a significant increase in pr...

OBJECTIVE This study was carried out to determine whether asthma affects the development of emphysema. METHODS We studied 62 patients with reversible airway obstruction during remission, and evaluated the presence and severity of emphysema using high-resolution CT. The emphysema score (ES) was evaluated with the visual scoring method on CT scans. RESULTS Of the 62 patients, 14 were judged t...

1218 Communications to the Editor The question raised here was: “Did this patient have emphysema or not?” If he merely had bronchial asthma, was he a candidate for antitrypsin replacement therapy? We were confused by the normality of this patient’s Dlco measurements since we had believed that the diffusion capacity was probably the most sensitive indication ofemphysema in the appropriate clinic...
