A quarter of the world's population experience wheezing. These sounds have been used for diagnosis since time Ebers Papyrus ( ca 1500 BC). We know that wheezing is a result oscillations airways make up lung. However, physical mechanisms onset remain poorly understood, and we do not quantitative model to predict when occurs. address these issues in this paper. lungs by modified Starling resistor...

Egypt for millennia; 5000 years ago, they were considered to be physical ailments of the heart or uterus, as described in the Ebers and Kahun papyri (Okasha, 2001). These disorders carried no stigma, as there was no demarcation then between psyche and soma. In the 14th century – 600 years before similar institutions were founded in Europe – the first psychiatric unit was established, in Kalaoon...

The Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-encoded noncoding RNAs EBER1 and EBER2 are highly abundant through all four latency stages of EBV infection (III-II-I-0) and have been associated with an oncogenic phenotype when expressed in cell lines cultured in vitro. In vivo, EBV-infected B cells derived from freshly isolated lymphocytes show that EBER1/2 deletion does not impair viral latency. Based on publish...

glossary of technical terms, a series of extracts of famous medical texts from the Ebers Papyrus to Henri Dunant, a table of contents, an index and six line drawings. The author goes out of his way to point out in his Foreword that the book is not for the expert. On the other hand, it seems to me much too detailed for the school child. The trouble with German scholars is their inability to be c...

The administration of drugs by the rectum has been practised from the earliest times. Prescriptions for suppositories were found in the Ebers Papyrus (Bryan, 1930). It would appear that these suppositories were intended for the local treatment of disease of the proctodeum. In more recent years, the idea arose that the rectal route could be used for systematic medication, either as supplementary...

A new branch-and-prune algorithm for globally solving nonlinear systems is proposed. The pruning technique combines a multidimensional interval Newton method with the constraint satisfaction algorithm HC4 [1]. The main contributions of this paper are the fine-grained interaction between both algorithms which avoids some unnecessary computation, and the description of HC4 in terms of a chain rul...

This study uses a new model developed in this paper to investigate the performance of heterojunction phototransistor (HPT) on SiGe technology. An electrical an optical window was based Ebers & Moll model, and its evaluated by examining error vector magnitude (EVM) when integrated into mobile communication setup. Simulations showed that HPT exhibited EVM lower than 8%, enabling 64-Quadrature...

Tinnitus, that is defined as 'ringing in the ear', is and has probably always been a very common phenomenon in the health history of mankind. A variety of pathomechanisms for its onset has been proposed in the past and this trend sees no stopping. Precise pathomechanisms still remain unclear. From the historical point of view, tinnitus is a very interesting topic but there is a lack of scientif...

F people would be unfamiliar with the iconic eye make-up of the ancient Egyptians. Modern perceptions that the Egyptians used the substance known as kohl for purely cosmetic purposes are not correct. Data from recent studies provide a profound insight into this previously little understood aspect of Egyptian cosmetics and their preparation. Various scientifi c studies have produced detailed ana...
