In I9O 7, Sachs and Teruuchi 1 reported that if fresh guinea pig serum were appropriately diluted with distilled water (optimum relationship, I part serum to 8 to 9 parts distilled water), and incubated for an hour or more in a water bath at 37 ° C., on the restoration of isotonicity, complement activity no longer took place. The absence of hemolysis they attributed to a permanent' destruction ...

Abstract. We study the relaxation of a test particle immersed in a bath of field particles interacting via weak long-range forces. To order 1/N in the N → +∞ limit, the velocity distribution of the test particle satisfies a Fokker-Planck equation whose form is related to the Landau and Lenard-Balescu equations in plasma physics. We provide explicit expressions for the diffusion coefficient and ...

Hot water epilepsy is a unique form of reflex epilepsy precipitated by the stimulus of bathing with hot water poured over the head. It is mostly seen in infants and children, with a predominance in males. Unlikely, we present a 32-year-old pregnancy woman with the incipient of reflex seizures triggered by pouring hot water over the head while having a bath during the gestation period and treate...

A brightness of 76% (initially 57%) was reached with a charge of 4.5% hydrogen peroxide based on thermomechanical pulp in 10 min with microwave heating, compared to 45 min with water-bath heating. The maximum brightness attained with water-bath heating (78%) was nearly one point higher than that obtained with microwave heating, albeit after twice the time (120 min vs. 60 min). Under similar con...

A cross sectional hospital based study was undertaken to find out the various clinical aspects and management of Hot Water Epilepsy (HWE) in children. Of the 71 cases analysed, 67.6% had onset of seizures in the first decade of life. Seizures occurred frequently towards the end of head bath (71.8%). In 14.1% cases, seizures were precipitated with cold-water head bath also. Complex partial seizu...

cent this patient returned to his native district, much delighted; with the result that since this time patients have come regularly from this district to this hospital for a similar operation. The technique of the operation, as performed in this hospital, is briefly as follows:? (a) The patient is prepared in the usual way by a preliminary bath and purgation. The whole genital area is thorough...

We measure the deceleration of liquid nitrogen drops floating at the surface of a liquid bath. On water, the friction force is found to be about 10 to 100 times larger than on a solid substrate, which is shown to arise from wave resistance. We investigate the influence of the bath viscosity and show that the dissipation decreases as the viscosity is increased, owing to wave damping. The measure...

We report a novel approach for producing carbon nanotube fibers (CNF) composed with the polysaccharide agarose. Current attempts to make CNF's require the use of a polymer or precipitating agent in the coagulating bath that may have negative effects in biomedical applications. We show that by taking advantage of the gelation properties of agarose one can substitute the bath with distilled water...

We acknowledge the work performed by Mr A Clayton and Miss P Dodds of the Department of Clinical Chemistry and the staff of the haematology department for the analytical work done. We thank Aquatech Ltd of Newbury for providing the spa bath, Multibroadcast Ltd for audiovisual equipment, Mr D Beaton and Bath City Council, Mr J Tham and Mr D Jennings ofthe Royal Crescent Hotel for arranging provi...

2014 Silicon tetraethoxyde (TEOS) monomers are dissolved in a water/ethanol mixture. Through hydrolysis and condensation they aggregate to form branched siloxane polymers ; in a few hours these polymers build a gel throughout the solution. The patterns formed by the growing polymers are studied through small angle neutron scattering. In the reaction bath, these patterns result from repulsive in...
