BACKGROUND Intracranial osteomas are uncommon lesions that usually arise from the inner table of the cranium. There are few reports in the literature of intracranial osteomas with meninges attachment and without direct relation with the skull bone; these osteomas were mostly attached with dura. We report a rare osteoma with falx attachment. CASE A 64-year-old woman presented with a 3-month hi...

Accepted for publication 3 January 1996 A female infant of 3500 g born at term presented with bradycardia, respiratory distress, and severe metabolic acidosis. Polyhydramnios had been noted at 15 weeks' gestation but no fetal abnormality was detected at that stage. The rest of the pregnancy was uneventful. Echocardiography showed a large collection of pericardial fluid and a giant multicystic m...

In this work, a system consisting of a main structure with a nonlinear tuned vibration absorber having a hardening spring attached to it is considered. The nonlinearity in the absorber's spring is a cubic nonlinearity and is obtained by attaching two additional, relatively soft, similar linear springs to the absorber's mass. These added springs are attached to the absorber's mass in such a way ...

Membrane-type acoustic metamaterials (MAMs) have demonstrated unusual capacity in controlling low-frequency sound transmission/reflection. In this paper, an analytical vibroacoustic membrane model is developed to study sound transmission behavior of the MAM under a normal incidence. The MAM is composed of a prestretched elastic membrane with attached rigid masses. To accurately capture finite-d...

tubercle bacilli infect about one third of the world's population and over the past decade resurgence of tuberculosis has been a major health threat mainly due to increasing frequencies of immunosuppressive states and drug-resistant organisms. although tuberculosis is essentially a lung disease, intracranial elements become involved in 5-10% of cases either as meningitis or tumour-like masses (...

Großschadenslagen erfordern das Zusammenwirken verschiedener Behörden und Organisationen mit Sicherheitsaufgaben (BOS). Durch ein kollektives Verständnis der Strukturen, Ereignisse und Prozesse im Einsatz kann das Handeln koordiniert und Konflikte vermieden werden. Das Projekt LAGE erarbeitet einen Standard für den Austausch von Meldungen zur Gewährleistung organisatorischer, semantischer und t...
