Postpartum cndometritis is often a mild to moderate infection which responds rapidly to broad spectrum antibiotics. Infrequently, a patient will develop diffuse thrombosis of the vasculature of the uterus,, thereby decreasing tissue perfusion. This results in inadequate levels of antibiotic reaching the myometrium of the uterus. A polymicrobial infection can, therefore, become well established ...

Reversible computing could be in more or less long term mandatory for minimizing heat dissipation inherent to computing. It aims at keeping all information on input and intermediate values available at any step of the computation. Rematerialization in register allocation amounts to recomputing values instead of spilling them in memory when registers run out. In this paper we detail a heuristic ...

Injury and physical trauma may inflict accidental cell death, but we have come to realize during the past four decades that cells may also actively engage cell death when needed. These regulated cell death forms are intrinsically connected with human embryonic development, homeostatic maintenance and disease pathology. For instance, the human body is composed of approximately 10(14) cells, mill...

There have been many cases of burn patients who also suffer from psychiatric problems, including eating disorders. We present a case of a 38-year-old female with an eating disorder and depression who became light-headed and fell, spilling boiling water from a kettle on herself at home sustaining partial thickness and full thickness burns over 5% of her total body surface area: left buttock and ...

An optimal, polynomial-time algorithm for interprocedural register allocation in high-level synthesis and ASIP design is presented. The algorithm determines the minimum number of registers required to store all scalar variables in an application without spilling any to memory. Although an optimal polynomialtime algorithm has been presented in the past for individual procedures in Static Single ...

The perception of flavor is perhaps the most multisensory of our everyday experiences. The latest research by psychologists and cognitive neuroscientists increasingly reveals the complex multisensory interactions that give rise to the flavor experiences we all know and love, demonstrating how they rely on the integration of cues from all of the human senses. This Perspective explores the contri...

The restaurant business in Mexico is spilling about 40 million dollars a year. Domino `s Pizza is the industry leader, with a market share of 39%. His closest competitor, Pizza Hut, have the 3.9%. What do they do to compete in a market almost dominated by Domino `s Pizza? What strategy should be used Little Caesars to get a bigger market share? In the following paper, through some qualitative m...

Density functional theory calculations are used to investigate the energetics of protons crossing triple phase boundaries based on a metal catalyst, Pd or Ni, and barium zirconate. Our calculations show that the proton transfer reaction at these interfaces is controlled by the terminal layer of the electrolyte in contact with the metallic and gas phases. The hydrogen spilling process onto the e...

In our busy lives, almost all of us have to walk with a cup of coffee. While often we spill the drink, this familiar phenomenon has never been explored systematically. Here we report on the results of an experimental study of the conditions under which coffee spills for various walking speeds and initial liquid levels in the cup. These observations are analyzed from the dynamical systems and fl...

The present study examined whether predictors of romantic-partner conflict may vary as a function of family structure. Using a cross-sectional design, we tested a mediation model of conflict resolution behaviours among late adolescents from intact (n=185) and divorced (n=87) families. Adolescents rated conflict resolution behaviours in five dyadic relationships: interparental, mother-adolescent...
