Spatio-temporal measurements of a fluctuating pressure field acting on the side faces of a square prism of finite height in boundary-layer flows are presented for 0 ° angle of attack. Two typical neutral atmospheric flow conditions were simulated in the wind tunnel to represent open country and urban flow environments. The fluctuating pressure field data allowed computat ions of the mean and r....

THIS paper is based on a manuscript notebook of 281 pages, dated 1781-84, of case histories of 122 patients treated as inand out-patients at the General Infirmary at Leeds. Patients came from all over Yorkshire, and a few from Lancashire and Lincolnshire, particularly to consult Mr William Hey, FRS, senior surgeon to the Infirmary from 1773 to 1812.

METHODS From January 1999 to December 2001, 84 patients with clinically and echocardiographically diagnosed pericarditis were identified in a heart clinic. These patients were analyzed according to age, sex, anthropometric measurements...

The genus Rhodococcus is gram positive bacterium which was classified into the family of Nocardiaceae.  The organism can be isolates from different sources, with capability to degrade diverse types of pollutant. Nowadays, scientists reported a few secondary metabolites which are produced by Rhodococci. Hence, the present study tried to isolate Rhodococci from different soil samples with the cap...

This article provides a detailed examination of changes in the income of the aged and of other age groups from 1967 to 1984. Levels of income, income inequality, the relative importance of selected types of income, and the poverty rates of various age groups are also analyzed. The data are from the Bureau of the Census Current Population Survey and annual money income before taxes is the measur...

Analyses of hospital records and census data for 1971-84 showed no significant increase in incidence of infantile hypertrophic pyloric stenosis in Western Australia. No link was found between breast feeding and incidence of disease. Low birth weight, short gestation pregnancies, and paternal family history of the disease were significant features.
