Surgical reduction of donor livers to treat small children has been performed successfully in several centers. While this procedure improves the allocation of livers, it does not increase the organ supply. We have extended reduced-size orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT) to treat 18 patients with 9 livers, accounting for 26% of our transplants during a 10-month period and have evaluated the ...

In this paper we describe an ongoing study of novice programmers. The aim is to record (as close as possible to) all of the problems encountered by students during the laboratory sessions of our introductory Java programming class. We discuss the tools and methods employed, in particular presenting the list of problem definitions which is used to classify students’ problems. Data collected duri...

Talent is helpful but perseverance ensured one achieves success. A child can show an exceptional talent for storytelling, but if he ignores his teacher’s comments and doesn’t work on his stories, he will never be a great novel...

In industrial scale of Gas to Liquid (GTL) process in Fischer-Tropsch (FT) synthesis, a part of reactor outlet gases such as CO2 and CH4 as side reaction products, is usually recycled. In this study, the influence of CO2 and CH4 on the performance and selectivity of Co-Ru/Al2O3 catalyst is investigated by injection of these gases (0-20 vol. % of feed) to the feed stream. The effect of temperatu...

• Charged polymeric membranes are characterized by transmembrane streaming potential. Polymeric membrane structure can be affected a pressure application. Sequential difference doesn´t affects surface charge. hydraulic permeability. The effect of on the electrokinetic properties different charged is analysed. Electrokinetic characterization involve application increasing or decreasing differenc...

The IMF pretty much argues that all is well with the conditionally contained in the programs it supports and sees no reason to change it. The recent report by the International Financial Institution Advisory Commission in stark contrast argues that conditionality doesn’t work and should be abandoned. Which of them is right?
