INTRODUCTION Testing of decompression procedures has been performed both in the dry and during immersion, assuming that the results can be directly compared. To test this, the aim of the present paper was to compare the number of venous gas bubbles observed following a short, deep and a shallow, long air dive performed dry in a hyperbaric chamber and following actual dives in open water. METH...

This study was designed to determine if avulsed permanent incisors which have been kept dry for a period and then immersed in an isotonic solution prior to implantation have an increased healing rate. The permanent maxillary incisors of six beagle dogs were grouped by lot in six treatment classes so that each type of incisor was included in each class. After extraction, the teeth of a treatment...

We have performed numerical simulations of the atmosphere for typical daytime convective conditions at Chajnantor, and derived the resulting wet and dry contributions to the atmospheric phase fluctuations. The simulations show that: ◦ Dry phase fluctuations are concentrated in two layers – near to the ground, and at the temperature inversion. The wet fluctuations are concentrated at the inversi...

BACKGROUND Research has shown that the classical Stegomyia indices (or "larval indices") of the dengue vector Aedes aegypti reflect the absence or presence of the vector but do not provide accurate measures of adult mosquito density. In contrast, pupal indices as collected in pupal productivity surveys are a much better proxy indicator for adult vector abundance. However, it is unknown when it...

A feeding trial was conducted with 940-lb yearling steers fed 113 days to determine the feeding value of distillers grains relative to corn grain. Replacing corn and urea with wet distillers grains for 20% of the diet dry matter tended to increase gain with no increase in feed consumption, resulting in improved feed conversion. Replacing 40% of diet dry matter with wet distillers grains decreas...
