During Andrew Jackson's time the Creeks and Seminoles (Muscogulges) were largest group of Indians living on frontier. In Georgia, Alabama, Florida they manifested a geographical cultural, but not political, cohesiveness. Ethnically linguistically, highly diverse. This book is first to locate them firmly in their full historical context.
Objective Previous research shows that cochlear implant users experience significant difficulty with speech perception in noisy listening situations. There is a paucity of evaluating the potential improvement recognition noise provided by dual-microphone directional system commercial sound processor. The primary objective this study was to compare quiet and for Nucleus Freedom 5 CP810 processors set manufacturer's default user programs environments. Research Design Crossover...
Chronic heart failure (CHF) results in central and peripheral derangements that ultimately reduce skeletal muscle O2 delivery impair exercise tolerance. Dietary nitrate (NO3 (-)) supplementation improves vascular function tolerance to exercise. We tested the hypothesis NO3 (-) would elevate exercising blood flow (BF) conductance (VC) CHF rats. Myocardial infarction (MI) was induced (coronary artery ligation) young adult male After 21 days of recovery, rats randomly received 5 (-)-rich...
Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) is an acute metabolic complication of type 1 diabetes mellitus. This study aimed to define the DKA mortality rate in a Birmingham population and identify risk factors for repeat admissions. An evaluation 137 patients’ notes retrieved from five hospitals around Birmingham, UK, identified 278 admissions over 9-year period (2000—2009). The International Classification Disease 10 coding system DKA, E101, was employed notes. Overall (1.8%) patients died. Mortality...
The use of venetian blinds to control solar gain through windows is common in both residential and commercial buildings, their potential for reduction peak cooling load energy consumption recognized be large. As such, there a strong need models that allow blind included glazing system analysis. A simplified method calculating the “effective” optical properties presented. entire are determined based on slat geometry material, direction nature (beam or diffuse) incident radiation. material...
The speed meter concept has been identified as a technique that can potentially provide laser-interferometric measurements at sensitivity level which surpasses the standard quantum limit (SQL) over broad frequency range. As with other sub-SQL measurement techniques, losses play central role in interferometers and they ultimately determine noise limited be achieved. So far literature, only derived for lossless or lossy cases using certain approximations (for instance arm cavity round trip...
The nitric oxide synthase (NOS)-independent pathway of (NO) production in which nitrite (NO 2 − ) is reduced to NO may have therapeutic applications for those with cardiovascular diseases the NOS downregulated. We tested hypothesis that infusion would reduce mean arterial pressure (MAP) and increase skeletal muscle blood flow (BF) vascular conductance (VC) during exercise face blockade via L-NAME. Following L-NAME (10 mg kg −1 , L-NAME), male Sprague-Dawley rats (3-6 months, n = 8) exercised...
Chronic heart failure (CHF) reduces nitric oxide (NO) bioavailability and impairs skeletal muscle vascular control during exercise. Reduction of NO2 (-) to NO may impact exercise-induced hyperemia, particularly in muscles with pathologically reduced O2 delivery. We tested the hypothesis that infusion would increase exercising blood flow (BF) conductance (VC) CHF rats a preferential effect composed primarily type IIb + IId/x fibers. (coronary artery ligation) was induced adult male...
The second generation of interferometric gravitational wave detectors are quickly approaching their design sensitivity. For the first time these will become limited by quantum backaction noise. Several evasion techniques have been proposed to further increase detector Since most proposals rely on a flexible readout full amplitude- and phase-quadrature space output light field, balanced homodyne detection is generally expected replace currently used DC readout. Up now, little investigation...
Several analytical techniques were examined for predicting GaAs MMIC (monolithic microwave integrated circuit) junction temperatures to support reliability life tests. Series solution, finite difference, element, and boundary element methods compared using a simple structure, the method was found be better temperatures. The series solution method, although it cannot model plating layers on top of device, quite useful performing preliminary analyses. FETs several devices analyzed method....
Speedmeters are known to be quantum non-demolition devices and, by potentially providing sensitivity beyond the standard limit, become interesting for third generation gravitational wave detectors. Here we introduce a new configuration, sloshing-Sagnac interferometer, and compare it more established ring-Sagnac interferometer. The interferometer is designed provide improved noise limited lower coating thermal than position meter interferometers employed in current We of interferometers,...
We present a torsion pendulum dual oscillator sensor designed toward the direct detection of Newtonian noise. discuss sensitivity limitations system, experimental performance characterization results, and prospectives to improve performance. The is being developed contribute mitigation noise impacts in sensitivities next generation terrestrial gravitational-wave detectors.
Under the conditions of our experiments protective value highly concentrated type specific serum in optimal doses and that sulfapyridine are approximately equal when infecting dose Type III pneumococci is relatively small, resulting a mortality 63% untreated animals. When sufficiently large to produce an initial 100%, after therapy significantly less than therapy. Combining sulfapyridine, each dose, does not reduce below alone pneumococcic pneumonia, differing this respect from results...
We observe experimentally and numerically novel mixed-mode dynamic states of a diode laser subject to two delayed optical feedbacks. These have been proposed analyzed within the framework Lang–Kobayashi single-feedback model. Such are combinations distinct external cavity modes can be identified through characteristic sequence Hopf bifurcation followed by secondary quasi-periodic bifurcation. present experimental numerical results that demonstrate such sequences.
