An 18-year-old man was admitted to the Emergency Unit shortly after having a gunshot wound in the neck. The patient developed an acute flaccid tetraplegia combined with arreflexia and sphincter impairment. He was promptly intubated and immobilized with a cervical spine collar. Threedimensional (3D) cervical computed tomography (CT) scan showed the bullet trajectory with entrance on the right si...

A microfluidic passive pumping method relying on surface tension properties is investigated and a physical model is developed. When a small inlet drop is placed on the entrance of a microfluidic channel it creates more pressure than a large output drop at the channel exit, causing fluid flow. The behavior of the input drop occurs in two characteristic phases. An analytical solution is proposed ...

We apply a recent extension of the Hele-Shaw scheme to analyze steady compressible viscous flows through micro T-junctions. The linearity of the problem in terms of an appropriately defined quadratic form of the pressure facilitates the definition of the viscous resistance of the configuration, relating the gas mass-flow rate to entrance and exit conditions. Furthermore, under rather mild restr...

Strongly inwardly rectifying potassium channels exhibit potent and steeply voltage-dependent block by intracellular polyamines. To locate the polyamine binding site, we have examined the effects of polyamine blockade on the rate of MTSEA modification of cysteine residues strategically substituted in the pore of a strongly rectifying Kir channel (Kir6.2[N160D]). Spermine only protected cysteines...

pinch technology is one of the best methods for designing a multi stream heat exchanger(mshe) through a network; current pinch-based methods, however, lead to a larger and more complicateddesign problems. the major drawback of the current methods is they result in designs having more individual mshe sections than essential, correspond to the enthalpy intervals on temperature vs. enthalpy diagra...

The entrance and exit of loess tunnel are easily affected by freezing thawing, which leads to collapse in cold regions. Based on the slip line network method, this paper proposed a graphical method analyzed impact evaluation freeze–thaw cycles zone at tunnel. Firstly, was improved for calculation program, program validated monitoring data evolution an unlined situ. Then, some triaxial tests wer...

IR spectra of entrance and exit channels methane radical oxygen reaction are predicted in the ground state energy. Ab initio calculations at perturbation theory (MP2) with Dunning correction- consistent basis set (aug-cc-pVDZ) have been used. The structures, vibrational frequencies potential energy surface. Three van der Waals minima from three adiabatic surfaces channels. Vibration frequency 3...

The Aldous–Broder algorithm provides a way of sampling uniformly random spanning tree for finite connected graphs using simple walk. Namely, start walk on graph and stop at the cover time. formed by all first-entrance edges has law uniform tree. Here we show that last-exit also This answers question Tom Hayes Cris Moore from 2010. proof relies bijection is related to BEST theorem in theory. We ...
