Alveolar deadspace is greater during anaesthesia than in the conscious state (Nunn and Hill, 1960), and during spontaneous ventilation it increases with depth of anaesthesia (Kain, Panday and Nunn, 1969). However, although the additional influence of apparatus deadspace was investigated by Kain, Panday and Nunn (1969), few studies have considered the effects of apparatus deadspace on anaestheti...

One of the visions almost excessively quoted in current discussions of what the information infrastructure of the WWW may ultimately turn out to be is Vannevar Bush’s article ”As we may think” written in 1945, and thus quite some time before the advent of computers as we know them today. In fact, Bush’s vision concerns the organization of information much more than the technical means and instr...

Chromosomes were studied in somatic cells of 60 plants of blue grama, Bouteloua gracilis (Willd. ex Kunth) Lag ex Griffiths, collectedfrom a 7-hectarefield ofnative range at the Central Plains Experiment Range (CPER), Nunn, Colorado, to determine chromosome constitution in relation to the plant characteristics. Somatic chromosomes were studied in root tips collected from vigorously growingplant...

Following in the footsteps of the Stockport Research Group, who made extensive use of probate inventories in their Stockport in the mid-seventeenth century, 1660– 1669 (S. McKenn and C. Nunn eds, Stockport, 1992), Paul Anderton provides a detailed analysis of 59 Nantwich inventories for the same decade along similar lines, with special reference to agriculture. Comparisons are made between Nant...

Why do we represent the world around us using causal generalizations, rather than, say, purely statistical generalizations? Do causal representations contain useful additional information, or are they merely more efficient for inferential purposes? This chapter considers the second kind of answer: it investigates some ways in which causal cognition might aid us not because of its expressive pow...

atherosclerosis has serious role in coronary arteries disease,so it is important to establish effective strategies for prevention or even treatment of atherosclerosis. adiponectin, as one of the most abundant adipokines, has insulin sensitivity, anti-inflammatory and anti-atherogenic properties. disturbed adiponectin actions through its receptor, (adipor1 and adipor2) may be involved in atheros...

Wound repair is a natural reaction to injury, which results in restoration of tissue integrity. In this study the healing effect of green tea extract formulation was investigated on open skin wound of rabbit. Active ingredients were extracted from green tea using water and glycerin (4:1) vehicle. Three cream formulations containing 2, 5 and 10% of green tea extract were prepared in the base. A ...

Aims: The use of the electronic health record systems has been developed in the health system, but it is still not known whether empathy is created in the visit of the patient despite this system. Therefore, this study was designed with the purpose of comparing patients’ perceptions about physicians’ empathy after the patient viewed standardized and scripted video vignettes of two physicians on...
