To examine for human blood crystals a drop of blood, or suspected fluid, is put on a slide and mixed with a minute quantity of decomposed pericardial fluid. Some fluid is always kept iu hand in a well-corked phial. Care must be taken in removing the fluid from the pericardial sac that no blood is taken up with it. The suspected blood and pericardial fluid preparation has laid on it a thin cover...

Structural equation modeling analyses of data from 2 longitudinal community studies of recently laid-off workers examined the interrelationships and pathways from personal coping resources to job-search intensity and the extent and quality of reemployment at 2 follow-ups (at 6 months and at 12 or 24 months). In both studies, the proposed models for predicting reemployment and reemployment quali...

This contribution is intended to review the state-ofthe-art in numerical simulation of particular transistor devices within our institute. Much emphasis is laid on the discussion of recent refinements to the carrier transport model which primarily is based on the so-called enhanced drift-diffusion equations with two essential extensions: On the one hand, carrier heating properly is taken into a...

The emerging paradigm of agent-based computation has revolutionized the building of intelligent and decentralized systems. The new technologies met well the requirements in all domains of manufacturing where problems of uncertainty and temporal dynamics, information sharing and distributed operation, or coordination and cooperation of autonomous entities had to be tackled. In the paper software...

A right-handed 37-year-old woman presented with right hemiparesis predominantly affecting the lower limb. MRI revealed the left anterior cerebral artery territory infarction (Picture 1). After complete recovery from the hemiparesis, she noticed that she would forget where her right arm was after drawing a curtain and when she moved away from the bed she had left her right leg on it. She habitua...
