nec is inflammatory necrosis of intestine with most common site being terminal ileum and ascending colon in preterm babies (1). the condition is typically seen in premature infants, and the timing of its onset is generally inversely proportional to the gestational age of the baby at birth, i.e. the earlier a baby is born, longer is the time of risk for nec in premature babies. the incidence of ...

AIM The purpose of this study was to investigate the usefulness of the neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet to lymphocyte ratio (PLR) Mean Platelet Volume (MPV) and Red Cell Distribution Width (RDW) in the differential diagnosis and follow-up of patients with Bells Palsy. MATERIAL AND METHODS Twenty-eight patients diagnosed with Bells Palsy and 28 control patients were included in t...

It is proposed that by using computing analysis software and 3D fabrication techniques, low cost plastic trumpet bells could be produced for different music genres by altering their timbres. These may be attached to the trumpet in a similar manner to that of a tuning bell trumpet. The novel bells are designed to eliminate or enhance particular harmonics to change their brightness by altering th...

The rim partials of a church bell (those with an antinode at the soundbow) generate the strike pitch or perceived note of the bell. The spacing in frequency of the higher rim partials has an important effect on the tonal quality of the bell. Investigations into the partial frequencies of 2752 bells, both bronze and steel, of a wide variety of dates, founders and sizes, show a simple and unexpec...

Ancient Chinese music bells can be traced back to the Shang dynasty (1600–1100 B.C.). In addition to their significance in history and metallurgy, they provide much insight into the design of musical instruments in the early years and continue to make important contribution to acoustics due to their unique acoustical properties and rich physical mechanisms. These music bells differ from carillo...

Intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) was differentiated from hepatocellular carcinoma, as defined in the American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) 6th edition staging manual, using the revised staging system described in the AJCC 7th edition staging manual. This study was conducted to analyze the application of the AJCC 6th and 7th edition staging classifications and to evaluate a modified sta...

The Baker Bells have been a Dartmouth fixture since 1928 when they first rang from the top of Baker Library. They mark the passage of time, ringing on the hour and half-hour. At 6pm every day, the sounds of the “Alma Mater” fill the campus. The bells can also be programmed to play everything from “Happy Birthday” to the Beatles. For our project, we decided to apply what we learned in class to i...
