Introduction • The diagnostic use of indicator-dilution technics in the study of congenital heart disease dates, for practical purposes, from 1950 with the nearly simultaneous description of methods for continuous recording of the concentration of Evans blue dye from Johns Hopkins University and from the Mayo Clinic." The diagnostic applications of indicatoi'-dilution technics have been intensi...

IN OUR studies on cardiac efficiency, it was essential to record simultaneously the length, tension, rate of contraction and oxygen consumption of isolated cardiac muscle. Available technics' were inappropriate and a new method was devised. Emphasis in this paper is on the description and testing of the technic and the differences in QO2 during rest and activity with and without added epinephrine.

We present results for two-loop QCD corrections to the short distance coefficient that governs leptonic decay of Bc-meson. After brief discussion of the technics of asymptotic expansion used to perform this calculation, we give comments on the numerical value of two-loop corrections and its impact on NRQCD description of Bc-meson bound state.

We present results for two-loop QCD corrections to the short distance coefficient that governs leptonic decay of Bc-meson. After brief discussion of the technics of asymptotic threshold expansion used to perform this calculation, we give comments on the numerical value of twoloop corrections and its impact on NRQCD description of Bc-meson bound state dynamics.

Absence of the vertebral artery is rare, and incidentally encountered in radiological imaging technics. We reported a 74 years old man suffering from pulsatile tinnitus with absence of the left vertebral artery. The purpose of the case report is the description absence of the vertebral artery causing of pulsatile tinnitus, in order to offer useful data to anatomists, otorhinolaryngologist, radi...

This essay will present a few challenges to a new Humanism from the perspective of the sociology of technics. For this purpose Humanism will be described as an effort to intervene in the process of human formation or hominisation. In order to intervene an understanding of this process is needed. Hominisation starts in the Palaeolithic era: technics, religion, language and the human being mutual...
