RESULTS: There were a total of 916 hemiabdomens included in the study. There was a statistically significant positive correlation between BMI and size of the flap (p < 0.01). There was no statistically significant correlation between BMI and deep inferior epigastric artery (DIEA) diameter or mean diameter of major (> 1 mm) DIEA perforators. There was a statistically significant negative correla...

In a recent paper Aw and Rascle [SIAM J. Appl. Math., 60 (2000), pp. 916–938] introduced a new model of traffic on a uni-directional highway. Here the author studies an extension of this model, one which accounts for drivers attempting to travel at the maximum allowable speed. The author looks at a Lagrangian reformulation of this problem, a formulation that leads to an effective computational ...

Increasing amounts ofIntralipid (Kabivitrum), bilirubin (NBS standard 916) or haemolysate were added to a serum pool of 40 patients, as previously described [1]. Added Intralipid yielded samples with triglyceride levels of 0"8-6-3 g/l, added bilirubin yielded samples having total bilirubin levels of 4-325 mg/1 and added haemolysate yielded samples with haemoglobin concentrations of 0-1"58 g/1. ...

Models are presented for predicting: (1) height growth of red oak advance reproduction after dearcutting, and (2) the probability of stems becoming dominants or codominants in new stands as a function of preharvest size of advance reproduction and site quality. The second model permits silviculturists o predict, prior to harvest, the contribution to a new stand of an existing population of adva...
