ALTHOUGH excellent accounts have been published in recent years of the gross and histological pathology of neoplasms believed to be diffuse malignant mesotheliomas, there remains a scarcity of adequate descriptions of their exfoliative cytology. One purpose of this paper is to help correct this deficiency. Another is to present further evidence that diffuse malignant mesothelioma really exists,...

(a group within the SNO collaboration studying this option for the future use of SNO, on behalf of the whole collaboration. This proposal has not been officially approved by the SNO collaboration as the defined future configuration for SNO and, if pursued, would undoubtedly involve the establishment of a new collaboration with additional participants as well as a subset of the members of the pr...

Computer Graphics is undoubtedly an important tool, widely used for representing and manipulating enormous amounts of highly complex information. Usually, the archaeological information is highly complex, so its representation using computer graphics technology is a true and engaging challenge. Virtual reconstructions representing archaeological sites, as for example the roman town Bracara Augu...

Children undoubtedly represent the future of the world As medical practitioners involved in Pediatrics we all have the responsibility of taking care of children. It is our responsibility to protect them from a variety of dangers, including, but not limited to, interruptions during pregnancy, genetic anomalies, perinatal injuries, congenital defects, malnutrition, environmental diseases, infecti...

This study shows that the Q wave pattern on the electrocardiogram provides insufficient evidence for the diagnosis of ischaemic heart disease. Apparent evidence of ischaemic heart disease on the electrocardiogram was misleading in 6 out of zo patients with congestive cardiomyopathy and in 3 of 8 patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. With the increasing application of surgical techniques to...

Despite the degree of qualification, the principle so defined allows substantial breadth for interpretation. Moreover, although probably the most commonly cited formulation (due to its status), Principle 15 is one of many which might legitimately be cited as representing the precautionary principle. This diversity, and in some cases, divergence of definitions has undoubtedly contributed to the ...

His methods have been carried on ever since, in the later months somewhat modified. The conclusion drawn by the author is, as regards Deycke's statements that injections of Nastin cause definite changes [to take place in the lepra bacilli, and that ...

We report a simple, straightforward, and efficient approach to assemble single gold nanorods (AuNRs) into highly aligned arrays, via a unique vacuum-enhanced capillarity. The assembled AuNR arrays demonstrate both an excellently unidirectional ordering and a wonderful single-rod resolution. The key role of vacuum in this approach enables high-aspect-ratio (10 to 22) AuNR alignment and efficient...

Nikola Tesla is undoubtedly the greatest inventor in the history of electrical engineering, and what makes him especially fascinating was his unusual mental control of creative visions. In this paper it is pointed out that they may sarve as an extraordinary ‘case study’ for understanding both biophysical basis of transpersonal psychology and control of creative processes, in meditation and slee...
