The dye-dilution method for the determination of plasma volume presents several problems, one of which is the estimation of dye concentration in plasma. It is with this problem that the present paper is primarily concerned. The most frequently used dye is Evans blue, T 1824. The colorimetric estimation of this dye in plasma is open to a number of possible errors, particularly those introduced b...

Decoherence, Control, and Symmetry in Quantum Computers

Although newer techniques such as laser Doppler and hot-wire anemometry have emerged, aerodynamic probes remain the best tools for the analysis of flows in turbomachines. Based on the nature of how these probes accomplish this analysis, they must be calibrated in well known flows prior to use. This calibration takes place in wind tunnels with uniform, parallel flows at precise Mach numbers. The...

I have delayed writing this review because I have long admired the ability of Dr. Morris Fishbein to write about medicine, even though I have only rarely shared his political views. His autobiography comes as a great disappointment to me because I can find little in it of interest. I finally rose from my apathy to write this notice because a Yale medical student asked, "Who is Morris Fishbein?"...
