This paper proposes a combined coarse-grained multifractal method to discriminate between distressed and normal foetuses. The coarse-graining operation was performed by means of a coarse-grained procedure and the multifractal operation was based on a structure function. The proposed method was evaluated by one hundred recordings including eighty normal foetuses and twenty distressed foetuses. W...

Case 3 is a rare congenital abnormality of the inner ear which usually presents as recurrent meningitis. This abnormality is now well documented.4 It should be suspected as a cause of recurrent meningitis in a child who has a sensorineural deafness. The presence of fluid behind the tympanic membrane should make one suspicious and the diagnosis can be confirmed by tomograms of the inner ear. The...

The purpose of this study was to devise a means to use laser-Doppler flowmetry to measure cerebral perfusion before birth. The method has not been used previously, largely because of intrauterine movement artifacts. To minimize movement artifacts, a probe holder was molded from epoxy putty to the contour of the fetal skull. A curved 18-gauge needle was embedded in the holder. At surgery, the ho...

insulator, and this in turn carries a 1-, in. brass rod, Q, fixed and sealed in position by a screw cap, R, and 0-ring gasket. The tungsten-anode wire, S (0-1 mm. diameter), is sheathed by a copper tube, T (diameter i16in.) to which it is soldered at its upper end. This is held in the rod, Q, by a small grubscrew. By this means the whole anode assembly is easily taken apart for cleaning and cha...

considering different fertility traits 411 cows from 73 farms used for economic analyses. from these, 202 lactating cows were selected for evaluating the fertility status. pre-tested data sheets were used to record the socioeconomic status of the farms including their assets, cost and return and productive and reproductive performance of the dairy cows. targets were set considering the situatio...
