Personal watercrafts (PWC), also known as jet skis, seadoos, and wave-runners have risen in popularity since their introduction in the 1970s. Hydrostatic rectal injury is a rare presentation of passengers thrown off a PWC. The perforation of the rectum is owing to the excessive hydrostatic force of water exerted through the anal canal. We present the first case of rectosigmoid perforation secon...

The present study reports for the first time the incidence of congestive heart failure (CHF) in previously infarcted rats that died spontaneously. Previously, pulmonary (PWC) and hepatic (HWC) water contents were determined in normal rats: 14 control animals were evaluated immediately after sacrifice, 8 placed in a refrigerator for 24 h, and 10 left at room temperature for 24 h. In the infarcte...

We make the case for Consortia of Peer-to-Peer (P2P) Wireless Local Area Networks (WLAN). A P2P WLAN Consortium (PWC) is a community of WLAN Administrative Domains (ADs) that offer network access to each other's registered users. The ubiquitous network access that these roaming members of an AD enjoy can compensate for their AD's cost of providing access to visitors. Existing WLAN roaming schem...

The Pacific Walker circulation (PWC) is one of the major atmospheric circulations that plays an essential role in ocean-atmosphere interactions and global climate. response PWC to greenhouse warming remains a mystery model results are inconsistent. Based on multimodel simulations from Coupled Model Intercomparison Project phase 6 (CMIP6), this study explores intermodel uncertainty change under ...

Satellite remote sensing is an indispensable means of measuring and monitoring precipitation on a global scale. The Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) is continuing to make significant progress in helping the global features of precipitation to be understood, particularly with the help of a pair of spaceborne microwave sensors, the TRMM Microwave Imager (TMI) and precipitation radar (PR...

Control system design for a complete plant with overall control perspective, is referred to as plant-wide control (PWC). Methodologies for this are of vital importance for safe, smooth and economical operation of plants. Increasing material recycles, energy integrations, product purity requirements and environmental regulations pose tough challenges to the smooth and stable plant operation. In ...
