The results of experimental studies of organic dust detonation in the presence of chemically inert particles are presented. Tests were carried out using a vertical detonation tube, and direct streak pictures showing the flame acceleration and pressure and temperature records were obtained. Flax dust, dispersed in an oxygen atmosphere, was used as the fuel, and two kinds of quartz sand were intr...

Many cases of chromosomal mosaicism of the XO/XY type have been described. The phenotype of these patients has shown a wide diversity. In a recent review of 19 published cases in which the XO/XY sex chromosome pattern was established (Jackson, Hoffman, and Makda, 1966), 14 were apparently female and 5 male. The occurrence of XO/XYY mosaicism has been reported less often. Jacobs, Harnden, Buckto...

conclusions most cases of splenectomy in our center caused by trauma, and among the different types of trauma, blunt trauma is the dominant cause. road traffic accidents, in particular motor vehicle accidents, especially motorbike injures, are the most frequent cause of splenectomy. due to the instability of trauma patients, a mortality rate of 8% seems to be reasonable for splenectomy. rnwe re...

In system identification, it is often difficult to find a physical intuition to choose a noise model structure. The importance of this choice is that, for the prediction error method (PEM) to provide asymptotically efficient estimates, the model orders must be chosen according to the true system. However, if only the plant estimates are of interest and the experiment is performed in open loop, ...

Adding rewriting to a proof assistant based on the Curry-Howard isomorphism, such as Coq, may greatly improve usability of the tool. Unfortunately adding an arbitrary set of rewrite rules may render the underlying formal system undecidable and inconsistent. While ways to ensure termination and confluence, and hence decidability of type-checking, have already been studied to some extent, logical...
