Litchi is a non-climacteric fruit (Wills et al. 2004) and it deteriorates very fast after harvest. Various technologies have been devised to minimize the post-harvest losses of litchi, one of such technologies is the use of PP bag & low temperature. The objectives of the study were to evaluate the effects of thiLitchi is a non-climacteric fruit and it deteriorates very fast after harvest. Vario...

Coulomb and CSB effects in the three-nucleon system within the dressed bag model for 2N and 3N forces. Abstract. Coulomb and charge-symmetry breaking effects in the 3 He ground state within the dressed dibaryon model developed recently for 2N and 3N forces are examined in detail. Particular attention has been paid to the Coulomb displacement energy ∆E C = E B (3 H) − E B (3 He) and rms charge r...

With the support of the comprehensive review in Liu et al. [14], we consider dependency distance minimization to be firmly established as a quantitative property of syntactic trees. In this comment, we consider future empirical and theoretical directions for this concept, including a recent information-theoretic reinterpretation of dependency locality effects as proposed by Futrell and Levy [4].

This paper describes the treatment of a severe case of acute mountain sickness with a portable hyperbaric chamber. A 37-year old climber was treated for acute high altitude pulmonary oedema, which developed on the North Col of Mount Everest, at an altitude of 7,060 m. The treatment in the portable Gamow bag hyperbaric chamber lasted two hours, with a bag pressure of 103 mm Hg (0.136 kg/cm2 or 2...

Dr X is back from her annual leave. Dr Y, the locum doctor, reports on the patients he saw during her absence, including a 40 year old teacher who had sprained her right ankle. Returning from a conference, she had stumbled while walking down the stairs with a heavy bag. Examination revealed a moderately swollen lateral right ankle. The patient was able to walk but was clearly in pain. Her breat...

K. Teh, N. de Zanche, J. M. Wild Academic Radiology, University of Sheffield, Sheffield, Yorkshire, United Kingdom, ETH, Zurich, Switzerland Introduction and Background Theory Radiation damping is a non-linear effect caused by an interaction between the sample magnetization and the tuned RF resonator [1]. It can be described as the action of a ‘counter’ field produced by the current induced in ...

A bedridden 75-year-old male with a history of end-stage renal disease, diabetes mellitus, hypertension and stroke was transferred from a nursing home to hospital due to an unusual discoloration of his Foley catheter bag. He was on long-term catheterization for chronic urinary retention secondary to degenerative spine disease. Past medical history also included recurrent hospital admissions for...
