The mortality of burn patients remains high in spite of the advances made in treating initial burn shock, controlling burn wound infection, and providing nutritional support. Smoke inhalation is recognized as a strong determinant of morbidity and mortality in burn patients, and most burn patients die because of associated inhalation injury. There are many reports on this combined injury (cutane...

WD1704+481 is a visual binary in which both components are white dwarfs. We present spectra of the Hα line of both stars which show that one component (WD1704+481.2 = Sanduleak B = GR577) is a close binary with two white dwarf components. Thus, WD1704+481 is the first known triple degenerate star. From radial velocity measurements of the close binary we find an orbital period of 0.1448d, a mass...

The release of nonaqueous phase liquids (NAPLs) to the subsurface environment can create long-term sources of ground water contamination as the NAPL slowly dissolves into ground water (Mercer and Cohen 1990; Cohen and Mercer 1993). Effective remediation of subsurface NAPL contamination requires that NAPL be accurately located and saturations quantified. This is particularly important for dense ...

INTRODUCTION Chronic inflammation of longstanding duration has been linked to the development of carcinoma in several organ systems. It is controversial whether there is any relationship of inflammatory atrophy to prostate cancer. It has been suggested that the proliferative epithelium in inflammatory atrophy may progress to high-grade prostatic intraepithelial neoplasia and/or adenocarcinoma. ...
