Relationship Of Ventilation Ability And Positioning In Left-Sided Congestive Heart Failure Patients, Nancy E. Carson

Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects

Proper positioning is used to relieve dyspnea, edema, and fatigue in congestive heart failure patients. According to the review of literature, improved ventilation as measured by specific lung volumes and lung mechanics occurred with upright positioning in normal persons. The effects of specific changes in lung volumes related to position change in congestive heart failure patients has not been documented in literature, although various recommendations related to positioning are made. This exploratory study was undertaken with nine congestive heart failure patients to see if a relationship existed between degree of head elevation and lung ventilation ability as measured by water-bell …

Statistical Study Of Tongue Pigmentation In Man., Dabeeru Chandrasekhara Rao Dr.

Doctoral Theses

Tongue pigmentation in man:The 'partioular' type of dark apots and patohes on the surface of the tongue, as investigated in the prosent thesis, wae first not ioed in human populations by Davis [5], who called it 'tongue piementation'. It is to be emphasized that not all colour piements come under this 'particular' type. There are some pathological conditione giving rise to transient discolouration of the tongue. This aspeot will be disouesed a little later. Such tongue pigmentation does not seem to have been reported for any population, human or otherwise.Tongue pigmentation be usually found on the upper surface or borders …

Optimum Estimators And Strategies In Survey Sampling., M. K. Ramakrishnan Dr.

Doctoral Theses

This thesis consists of nine chapters. In the first chapter we give the basic concepts and definitions and also a broad review of the literature related to the problems considered in this thesis. The second and third chapters are devoted to a detailed modified comparison of sampling with and without replacement, for the case of equal and unequal probability sampling respectively. In the fourth and fifth chapters we discuss the criteria of hyper-admissibility and linear suf2iciency for the choice of an optimum estimator for a given sampling design. The succeeding three chapters have as their main objective the central problem …

Far-Infrared Properties Of Lattice Resonant Modes. V. Second-Order Stark Effect, B.P. Clayman, Roger D. Kirby, A. J. Sievers

Roger Kirby Publications

Small electric-field-induced frequency shifts have been observed for resonant modes associated with three defect systems. For NaI: Clˉ, the shifts have been used to measure the quartic anharmonic terms of the interionic potential of the impurity ion. For KBr: Li⁺, the quartic anharmonic terms are found to be very small, and an harmonic potential which includes a central barrier with the barrier height less than the zero-point energy of the oscillator is required to explain the experimental results. For NaCl: Cu⁺, only an "on-center" resonant-mode configuration is consistent with the experimental results.

Simulation Of Particle Tracks In Emulsion, Thomas E. Furtak, Robert Katz

Robert Katz Publications

Micrographs of energetic particles in nuclear emulsion are simulated by computing the spatial distribution of developed grains with the δ-ray theory of track structure, and representing the developed grains by points of light on an IBM 2250 visual display unit. The simulated tracks display many of the features of actual track structure and serve as a visual comparison between experiment and theory,

Dielectric Polarization And Alignment And The Structure Of Polar Fluids, John D. Ramshaw, D. W. Schaefer, John S. Waugh, J. M. Deutsch

Physics Faculty Publications and Presentations

An analysis is made of the information about the structure of dense polar fluids which resides in the dielectric constant, the Kerr constant, and the nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) quadratic electric field effect. The inadequacy of the "local-field" model for liquids is discussed. The existence of a nonzero molecular hyperpolarizability is shown to destroy an equivalence which would otherwise exist between the Kerr and NMR experiments, and can easily account for apparent discrepancies between the reported Kerr and NMR data for nitrobenzene and nitromethane. A method is presented for removing dielectric boundary effects from statistical averages, so that the averages …

Lamb-Mössbauer Factor Of Sodium Ferrocyanide, Daniel L. Decker, L. E. Lortz

Faculty Publications

Using a set of commercially prepared sodium ferrocyanide absorbers enriched to 91.2% Fe57 the Lamb-Mössbauer factor was measured to be 0.28±0.03. The thickness of Fe57 for these absorbers was measured using x-ray absorption techniques and was found to be considerably smaller than that advertised by the manufacturer even after correcting for the size of the ferrocyanide particles in the absorbers.

A Study Of Primary Productivity In A Nebraska Interstate 80 Lake, Gilbert Adrian, Carl Throckmorton, Bob Mcdonald

Nebraska Game and Parks Commission: Staff Research Publications

The primary productivity of a small gravel pit lake in the Platte River Valley of Nebraska was studied for a 2-year period. Daily production rates were estimated from near weekly samples, with calculations done by computer. Emphasis was placed on production under ice during winter conditions. Annual production was estimated and is compared with several other lakes in North America.

Theory Of Relativistic Magnetic Dipole Transitions: Lifetime Of The Metastable 2s3 State Of The Heliumlike Ions, Gordon W. F. Drake

Physics Publications

It has recently been established that the radiative lifetime of the metastable 2S3 state of helium and the heliumlike ions is determined by single-photon magnetic dipole (M1) transitions to the ground state, rather than the two-photon process proposed by Breit and Teller. The theory of nl-n′l M1 transitions with n ′ is developed in the Pauli approximation and extended to two-electron systems. Terms arising from relativistic energy corrections and finite-wavelength effects are included. The results for hydrogenic systems are shown to be identical to those obtained in the relativistic four-component Dirac formulation. The coefficients in the Z-1 perturbation expansion of …

Mossbauer Study Of An Intramolecular Antiferromagnet, R. Lechan, C. R. Abeledo, R. B. Frankel

Physics

Mossbauer measurements at 4.2 ≤T ≤ 22 K and OsHosBO kOe are + reported in (Fe Salen Cl)₂, a molecular complex containing two coupled Fe³⁺ ions bridged by oxygen atoms. At 4.2 K only the ground state with effective spin S = 0 is appreciably populated. Analysis of the magnetic field and temperature dependence of the magnetic hyperfine field yields an exchange constant J= -6.7 cm>sup>-1 and a hyperfine field of -192 kOe per unit spin at each Fe³⁺ nucleus.

Grain Sorghum In The Ord Valley : Three Crops A Year?, P J. May

Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4

High temperatures and ample irrigation water allow grain sorghum to be grown throughout the year on the Ord River Irrigation Area, and observations in 1969-70 indicated that it may be possible in this area to produce three crops in one year from one planting, by ratoon cropping.

This article describes the technique and discusses its possibilities on the Ord.

The sorghum midge, one of the worst pests of sorghum, could well make ratoon cropping impossible, but the midge has not yet been seen in this area.
