Right-sided cardiac masses do not have a uniform clinical presentation. Successful diagnosis is dependent on a high index of suspicion and appropriate echocardiographic examination. Five cases of right sided intracardiac masses have been detected during the period that echocardiography has been routinely available to us--two of right atrial myxoma, one of right atrial thrombus, and two of right...

In left-right symmetric models (LRSM) the light neutrino masses arise from two sources: the seesaw mechanism and a VEV of an SU(2)L triplet. If the left-right symmetry breaking, vR, is low, vR ∼ 15 TeV, the contributions to the light neutrino masses from both the seesaw mechanism and the triplet Yukawa couplings are expected to be well above the experimental bounds. We present a minimal LRSM wi...

In five experiments, we examined the time course of hemispheric differences in solution activation for insight-like problems. We propose that solving insight problems requires retrieval of unusual interpretations of problem elements, and that right-hemisphere (RH) coarse semantic coding is more likely than left-hemisphere (LH) fine semantic coding to maintain semantic activation of such interpr...

Fortified wines, such as Port-style wines, can be made by choosing to ferment the juice or must to a desired sugar concentration and then adding a sufficient amount of a distilled spirit to arrest the fermentation and raise the alcohol to a predetermined level. In order to carry this out, we have to know the amount of sugar left in the juice at anyone moment in time. In small wineries, a hydrom...

In this work a possible realizations of a uniaxial variant of left-handed material (LHM) at microwaves is considered. The meta-material has some features of the known structure studied by the group of D. Smith in 2001, however in the present structure a lattice of parallel wires and a lattice of artificial magnetic resonators (MRs) are unified and the MRs are not split-ring resonators. The opti...

We present the first treatment of the refraction of physical electromagnetic waves in newly developed negative index media (NIM), also known as left-handed media (LHM). The NIM dispersion relation implies that group fronts refract positively even when phase fronts refract negatively. This difference results in rapidly dispersing, very inhomogeneous waves. In fact, causality and finite signal sp...

Recent discoveries have demonstrated that Revueltosaurus callenderi Hunt is not an ornithischian dinosaur, so it is probably not congeneric with the putative ornithischian Revueltosaurus hunti Heckert. Revueltosaurus Hunt, 1989 is the senior generic name, so I propose here the generic name Krzyzanowskisaurus for “Revueltosaurus” hunti. Because the teeth of K. hunti appear more derived than R. c...

The dynamics of wave propagation in media with negative index of refraction is analyzed through analytical calculations, simulations, and experiments. Using a free space setup, the transmission characteristics of two split ring resonator and strip wire left-handed media (LHM), designed for operation at K -band frequencies (18-26 GHz), are measured. The first LHM, which is 3 unit cells long in t...
