In this study, the mixing phenomena and fluid dynamics in a copper converter have been experimentally investigated using a physical model. The physical model is a 1:5 horizontal tank made of Plexiglas. The mixing phenomena have been characterized by experimentally measuring the mixing time using a tracer dispersion technique. Moreover, the effects of the air flow rate and lance submergence on t...

This paper presents time-series information on the diet composition and breeding performance of rhinoceros auklet Cerorhinca monocerata at Triangle Island, British Columbia, Canada, during 15 breeding seasons between 1976 and 2001. Three shifts in ocean climate occurred within British Columbia during this period (1976–77, 1989–90, 1998–99), allowing us to evaluate associations between marine en...

My commentary addresses Lance’s recommendation to reorient assessment center (AC) practice away from dimensions toward exercise-based assessment. As exercisebased assessment is dealt with only in general terms in Lance’s article, I aim to delineate what exercise-based assessment really means. Two points are made. First, I argue that taking dimensions away from ACs does not mean that assessee be...

Background & aim: Warm compression is an effective method preferred in relieving pain. It enables procedures to be completed in a shorter time, and with less pain due to increasing blood flow in the area. This study aimed to investigate the effects of warm compress applied before heel lance on the procedure time, level of pain, and comfort level of healthy term newborn...

Let me begin by thanking some people who have contributed greatly to my understanding of and work on climate change economics. My first serious discussions of these problems was with Graciela Chichilnisky and Geoff Heale at Columbia University in the 1990s, which led to my participation in several workshops and conferences they organized. In November, 2006, Neva Goodwin and Jonathan Harris invi...

Identifying duplicate instances in the Data Web is most commonly performed (semi-)automatically using instance matching frameworks. However, current instance matching benchmarks fail to provide end users and developers with the necessary insights pertaining to how current frameworks behave when dealing with real data. In this demo paper, we present Lance, a domain-independent instance matching ...

Lance-Adams syndrome (LAS) is a rare complication of successful cardiopulmonary resuscitation and is often accompanied by action myoclonus. LAS is seen in patients who have undergone a cardiorespiratory arrest, later regained consciousness, and then developed myoclonus days or weeks after the event. Less than 150 cases of LAS have been reported in the worldwide medical literature. Here, we pres...

OBJECTIVE To examine the effects of oral sucrose on procedural pain, and on biochemical markers of adenosine triphosphate utilization and oxidative stress in preterm neonates with mild to moderate respiratory distress. STUDY DESIGN Preterm neonates with a clinically required heel lance that met study criteria (n = 49) were randomized into three groups: (1) control (n = 24), (2) heel lance tre...
