The anesthetist will get the most information out of a capnograph if it is examined systematically. First, the anesthetist must determine whether exhaled CO2 (i.e., a waveform) is present. The differential diagnosis of absent CO2 includes esophageal intubation, accidental tracheal extubation, disconnection of the breathing circuit, complete obstruction of the endotracheal tube or conducting sys...

by using bifurcation theory of planar ordinary differential equations all different bounded travelling wave solutions of the generalized zakharov equation are classified in different parametric regions . in each of these parametric regions the exact explicit parametric representation of all solitary , kink (anti kink) and periodic wave solutions as well as their numerical simulation and thei...

We construct and study two kink theories. One contains a static 2-kink configuration with controllable binding energy. The other locally stable non-topological solution, which we call lavion. new models are 1D analogs of non-integrable systems in higher dimensions such as the Skyrme model realistic vortex systems. To help theories, derive simple expression for interaction energy between kinks.

Atomic resolution electron microscopy has been used to obtain images of moving dislocation kinks on partial dislocations at 600 ±C in silicon. Video difference images are used to obtain direct estimates of kink velocity. Observations of kink delay at obstacles, thought to be oxygen atoms at the dislocation core, yield unpinning energies and parameters of the obstacle theory of kink motion. The ...

A kink in the internal thoracic artery (ITA) is a rare postoperative complication after coronary artery bypass surgery. The kink can be accompanied by significant stenosis and has been observed after the ITAs are harvested by the skeletonization method. In this report, we present two cases in which early postoperative angiography showed the kink accompanied by significant stenosis, and late ang...
