Introduction: Foreign bodies in the external auditory canal are fairly common, and tend to be seeds, toys, or insects. However, foreign bodies in the middle ear are rarer, and are generally accidental or iatrogenic. Although there are numerous reports regarding fascinating foreign bodies in the ear, the same cannot be said about foreign bodies in the Eustachian tube (ET).   Case Report: A 20-ye...

Working Paper 23 April 2016 Michael G. Findley, Adam S. Harris, Helen V. Milner, Daniel Nielson Does foreign aid enable or constrain elite capture of public revenues? Building on prominent debates in the foreign aid literature, we examine whether recipient preferences are consistent with a view – called here donor control theory – that foreign donors wield substantial control over the flow of a...

BACKGROUND/AIM In cases of blurred optic media the ultrasound diagnostics offers useful data about eventual presence of intraocular foreign body as well as about its precise localization in the eye. The aim of this study was to retrospectively analyze echographic findings in patients with the diagnosis of intraocular foreign body with a special interest in localizations of a intraocular foreign...

In the present study, tried to examine the reactive solute relationships for transport and degradation processes through the rockfill media. By applying the analytical solution of reactive transport, the 1st to 3rd theoretical temporal moments have been extracted then, by using two methods of curve fitting and temporal moment matching, the coefficients of dispersion and degradation have been ex...
