Finger clubbing was quantified from the magnified silhouette of the right index finger in controls and patients with clubbing, using a simple shadowgram technique. There was good correlation between clinical assessment and measurement of both the profile angle and the hyponychial angle. The hyponychial angle appeared to be a more accurate indicator of clubbing than the profile angle.

This paper explores the relationship between product innovation and consumption inequality. We employ a modified version of the agent-based macroeconomic model in Georges (2011, 2015). A rise in rents accruing to salaried workers can shift both production and R&D spending toward products consumed by that class of worker. The increase in income inequality will then have a magnified impact on con...

The cystic vein, a portion of biliary anatomy whose insignificance in open gallbladder surgery led to its being relegated to mythology, has been rediscovered by the magnified view of laparoscopic surgery. Its presence is an important anatomic feature that helps distinguish between cystic duct and common hepatic duct, thus diminishing the risk of inadvertent bile duct injury during laparoscopic ...

We discuss the first absolute energy measurements of the intercombination and forbidden transitions (x y z , , ) in trapped Ti ions to 15 parts per million accuracy. We present new measurements on helium-like titanium, in which the orbital radius is reduced and QED terms are magnified by the increased nuclear charge. The measured transition energies are higher than predicted.

Abstract The hydroalkylation of nitroalkenes and β‐nitroacrylates via a photocatalytic strategy has been optimised under both batch continuous flow conditions. This target achieved by exploiting the potentialities decatungstate anion as versatile hydrogen atom transfer (HAT) photocatalyst for generation alkyl radicals from aliphatic heterocycles, amides cycloalkanes. magnified image

A new video laryngoscope and its early clinical application are presented. The device is a portable, battery operated video laryngoscope that resembles a standard Macintosh blade. The intubation technique is identical to conventional Macintosh laryngoscopy with the additional aid of a magnified video view.

Is the soft error rate in ground-level computer installations correlated with the intensity of solar radiation? This problem is already significant for space-borne systems, but recent analysis of FPGA configuration failures show that radiation-induced soft errors might become a problem even at sea level as silicon device integration increases [1]. This problem would be magnified in large or wid...
