In the last decade, there has been increasing research interest in the value of bio-sourced
materials recovered from residual biomass. Research that focuses on the use of extracted, …

This guide is applicable to X-ray stress measurements on crystalline materials. There is
currently no published standard for the measurement of residual stress by XRD. This guide has …

In severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), carbon dioxide retention during
exercise is highly variable and is poorly predicted by resting pulmonary function and arterial …

… Michael Fitzpatrick concludes that doctors should stop trying to make people virtuous. He
argues that we need to establish a clear boundary between the worlds of medicine and politics…

Objectives The aim of this study was to compare the relative efficacy of continuous positive
airway pressure (CPAP) and positional treatment in the management of positional obstructive …

How many kinds are there? Suppose that a population is partitioned into C classes. In many
situations interest focuses not on estimation of the relative sizes of the classes, but on …

DESI (Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument) is a Stage IV ground-based dark energy

OBJECTIVE: Several causes of spatial inaccuracies in image-guided surgery have been
carefully studied and documented for several systems. These include error in identifying the …

While residual stress can be a problem in many industries and lead to early failure of
component, it can also be introduced deliberately to improve lifetimes. Knowledge of the residual …

Healthy subjects with normal nasal resistance breathe almost exclusively through the nose
during sleep. This study tested the hypothesis that a mechanical advantage might explain …
