We report the case of two-year-old girl with hypovolemic shock caused by bleeding from an abdominal cystic lymphangioma. The whole blood was contained within a large omental bag that could be completely removed. There were no associated anomalies. The child progressed satisfactorily.

Lysine-iron-cystine-neutral red broth performed satisfactorily in the presumptive identification of Salmonella in preenriched food and animal feed samples enriched in tetrathionate-brilliant green broth. Homologous results from selenite-cystine enrichment broths yielded unacceptably high numbers of false negative reactions.

Softening is often considered to be the main cause of first-time slides in OC clay, but so far the mechanics of softening has not been satisfactorily explained. Bearing on laboratory data and field observations about landslides in tectonized highly plastic clay shales of Italian Apennines, the paper describes a process of soil weakening that could explain some failures of natural slopes.

A remarkable degree of functional localization on the cerebellum has been revealed by using electrophysiologic studies but these findings have not as yet been documented satisfactorily by anatomical methods. The present investigation is concerned primarily with the topographic patterns within the major spinal afferent systems to the cerebellum and those in the cerebellar corticonuclear connecti...

The ratios of ribonucleic acid to protein contents of Clostridium botulinum type C, D, and E cultures were lower than those of type A, B, and F cultures. Addition of ribonucleic acid at 0.4 mg/ml to culture satisfactorily aided acid precipitation of type C and D toxins, but not that of type E toxin.

The performance of two methods to reconstruct Northern Hemisphere temperature histories of the past millennium is analyzed by applying them to the known development of an extended climate model simulation. The MBH-method underestimates lowfrequency variability significantly, whereas Moberg’s method operates satisfactorily. Some

Parton distributions derived from a chiral quark model that generates an excess of down quarks and antiquarks in the proton's sea satisfactorily describe the measured yields of muon pairs produced in proton-nucleus collisions. Comparison of dilepton yields from hydrogen and deuterium targets promises greater sensitivity to the predicted flavor asymmetry.

Urea is considered a fundamental building block in prebiotic chemistry. Its formation on early Earth has not yet been explained satisfactorily and exogenous delivery has been considered. We report on the synthesis along with the first online and in situ identification of urea after exposing inorganic ices to ionizing radiation.

A new esterification method was investigated using triphenylphosphz'ne dibromide as a dehydrating agent. This investigation has established that the method is useful when the acid is aromati~ or arylallylic. That primary and secondary alcohols esteTZfy acid satisfactorily whereas tertiary alcohols fail to react was also established in this experiment.

The flexible architecture of evolutionary algorithms allows specialised models to be obtained with the aim of performing as other search methods do, but more satisfactorily. In fact, there exist several evolutionary proposals in the literature that play the role of local search methods. In this paper, we make a step forward presenting a specialised evolutionary approach that carries out a search
