This first event, held at the Illinois Institute of Technology, was a success due to the fact that students not only achieved a deep and nuanced unde...

Context. Magnetic fields are proposed to play an important role in the formation and support of self-gravitating clouds and the formation and evolution of protostars in such clouds. Aims. We attempt to understand more precisely how the Pipe nebula is affected by the magnetic field. Methods. We use R-band linear polarimetry collected for about 12 000 stars in 46 fields with lines of sight toward...

BACKGROUND Cell salvage is an essential element in the concept of blood management. Modern devices provide different bowl sizes and sensor-directed programs to optimally adjust to varying clinical situations. STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS In an experimental performance study, the discontinuous autotransfusion device XTRA (LivaNova/Sorin) was evaluated using fresh donor blood anticoagulated with he...

Characterisation of the spatial peak intensity at the focus of high intensity focused ultrasound transducers is difficult because of the risk of damage to hydrophone sensors at the high focal pressures generated. Hill et al (1994 Ultrasound Med. Biol. 20 259-69) provided a simple equation for estimating spatial-peak intensity for solid spherical bowl transducers using measured acoustic power an...
