Six-Bullets Faith
At a religious school of unspecified denomination—but definitely NOT Catholic—two women fall in love. One of them has a chainsaw, the other a gun. There’s also a horny parrot, a horny pastor and a senile mother, not to mention Lucifer, who is a bit of a teenage girl and a HUGE Billie Eilish fan. And the end of the Universe is coming, FYI, via the Big Rip, so there’s that too. And this play is also about addiction and withdrawal and recovery and the capacity or incapacity for love to overcome forces that can overwhelm the self
First Person Plural: Short Stories
I decided to title this collection First Person Plural after observing that one of the most prominent motifs common among these stories concerns the instability and multiplicity of identity. Horror is one of the traditions that most influences my writing, particularly the claustrophobic psychological horror of writers like Edgar Allen Poe. I mainly deploy the tropes of horror in an effort to destabilize my characters’ inner and outer realities. Another important influence on my writing has been that brand of fiction which exists within the liminal space between horror and realism, such as Dan Chaon’s collection Stay Awake, Bringing Out the Dead by Joe Connelly and Joyce Carol Oates’s “Where is Here?” That’s the realm where some of my stories exist, where the metaphors of horror collapse on themselves and reveal what they’re designed to represent and conceal. As a writer, one of my goals/challenges is to make cliches less cliche, to find new ways of telling familiar stories and invent conventions for telling unfamiliar ones. For each story in this collection, I attempted to identify and employ whichever conventions promised to best help me tell it in an unconventional and hopefully more effective way
Validation of Slosh Model Parameters and Anti-Slosh Baffle Designs of Propellant Tanks by Using Lateral Slosh Testing
The slosh dynamics of propellant tanks can be represented by an equivalent mass-pendulum-dashpot mechanical model. The parameters of this equivalent model, identified as slosh mechanical model parameters, are slosh frequency, slosh mass, and pendulum hinge point location. They can be obtained by both analysis and testing for discrete fill levels. Anti-slosh baffles are usually needed in propellant tanks to control the movement of the fluid inside the tank. Lateral slosh testing, involving both random excitation testing and free-decay testing, are performed to validate the slosh mechanical model parameters and the damping added to the fluid by the anti-slosh baffles. Traditional modal analysis procedures were used to extract the parameters from the experimental data. Test setup of sub-scale tanks will be described. A comparison between experimental results and analysis will be presented
Syndrome respiratoire aigu après inhalation de sprays imperméabilisants
Au cours de l'hiver 2002-2003, le Centre suisse d'information toxicologique a enregistré une augmentation inhabituelle de troubles respiratoires après exposition à des sprays imperméabilisants utilisés pour l'imprégnation du cuir et des textiles. Plus de 150 cas ont ainsi été rapportés. De telles épidémies sont déjà survenues au cours des vingt dernières années dans divers pays. Sur le plan clinique, des symptômes de toux, dyspnée et fièvre apparaissent dans le minutes ou les heures qui suivent l'exposition. Certains patients présentent une détresse respiratoire aiguë nécessitant une hospitalisation en soins intensifs. L'évolution clinique est favorable en quelques jours dans la majorité des cas, mais une dyspnée ou une toux chroniques pourraient persister chez certains patients. Un récent changement de formulation chimique semble être la cause de l'épidémie survenue en Suisse. Les produits incriminés ont été retirés de la vente. De nouveaux cas pourraient toutefois survenir à l'avenir en lien avec l'utilisation accrue de sprays imperméabilisants durant l'hiver et la possible commercialisation de nouveaux produits. [¨Résumé des Auteurs] A la suite de l'épidémie survenue en Suisse, l'Office fédéral de la santé publique a fait classer tous les sprays imperméabilisants pour cuirs et textiles dans la classe de toxicité 5S. Leurs emballages comporteront donc davantage d'avertissements aux utilisateurs. Il est actuellement recommandé d'employer ces sprays à l'air libre, d'éviter de s'exposer au brouillard de vaporisation (ne pas employer le spray contre le vent), et de bien laisser sécher les articles imperméabilisés à l'extérieur. L'emploi à l'intérieur est à éviter. Il ne suffit pas d'ouvir une fenêtre. Les personnes atteintes de maladies respiratoires (par exemple, asthme) devraient éviter d'utiliser elles-mêmes ces produits et ne pas se tenir à proximité d'un endroit où ils sont employés.

<![CDATA[This book presents a thorough discussion of utility cycling, cycling in the urban environment, and everyday mobility. It is based on large survey answered by 14,000 participants in the bike to work action in Switzerland, and quantifies the various dimensions of utility cycling.
It proposes an innovative theoretical framework to analyse and understand the various dimensions of the uses of bikes and their diversity. It addresses the factors that motivate commuters to get on their bike, and highlights the barriers to this practice between deficient infrastructures and lack of legitimacy. This research makes a diagnosis and discusses the way to develop this sustainable mode of transportation.
By combining quantitative results in the form of tables, figures, and maps, and including qualitative results in the form of quotations from survey participants, this book provides a thorough and enjoyable read. It will be of interest to researchers, policy makers, advanced students in the field of urban planning, social sciences, and transportation
Hematological changes in descendants of animals irradiated in different doses
An urgent problem today is not only the study of changes in the stability of the genome of somatic cells, the clarification of the mechanisms of its destabilization under the influence of a complex of environmental factors, including radiation, but also the study of the possibility of hereditary transmission of these changes. In the modern experimental and clinical medicine, the most important problem is the harmful effect of ionizing radiation on the descendants of irradiated parents and the specifics of the effect of radiation on the developing organism. An important aspect of the problem of long-term post-radiation effects is the state of reproductive function and health of the descendants of the irradiated population, due to the physiological characteristics inherent to the mother and child - high sensitivity to the action of ionizing radiation, the consequences of which may manifest after a long period of imaginary well-being. The purpose of the work is to investigate the dynamics of body weight and hematological indiexes in the descendants of intact sexually mature animals and descendants born to animals irradiated at different doses, which were exposed to radiation at a dose of 1.0 Gy. The authors revealed that in descendants born to animals irradiated at different doses, which were exposed to radiation at a dose of 1.0 Gy, it was established that by the 30th day after irradiation at a dose of 1.0 Gy, the general condition of pup rats born from animals irradiated at a dose of 0.5 Gy and exposed to irradiation at a dose of 1.0 Gy is satisfactory against the background of an insignificant decrease in the body weight. This also applies to pup rats born to animals irradiated at a dose of 1.0 Gy, whose general condition slightly improves compared to the previous period of the study. The data obtained showed in the peripheral blood after 1 day in the descendants born to animals irradiated at a dose of 0.5 Gy, after irradiation at a dose of 1.0 Gy, a reduced content of hemoglobin and erythrocytes against the background of an increase in the content of platelets, leukocytes, lymphocytes and reticulocytes in comparison with non-irradiated animals, which was maintained throughout the experiment. Pronounced changes in hematological parameters were observed in the descendants born to animals irradiated at a dose of 1.0 Gy, which were exposed to total γ-irradiation at a dose of 1.0 Gy. The authors suppose their data are in favour of the pronounced adaptationof organisms’ regulatiory systems to ionizing irradiation effect that, firstly, outline the adaptative physiologcal mechanisms and, secondly, show the main launches of pathophysiologcial mechamisns in case of irradiation-induced hematological changes
Ochroconis gallopava bronchitis mimicking haemoptysis in a patient with bronchiectasis.
Ochroconis gallopava is an anamorphic mould characterized by slow growth rate and production of a maroon pigment, which has been isolated worldwide from soil, thermal springs, decaying vegetation, and chicken litter. It has been reported to cause localized, mostly pulmonary, and systemic infection in severely immunocompromised patients. We describe the case of a 76-year-old woman known for ulcerative colitis-related bronchiectasis treated with low dose oral steroids, who developed a fungal bronchitis with dark, bloody-like, sputum which was initially misinterpreted as haemoptysis. A filamentary mould grew on sputum culture, and was identified by DNA analysis as Ochroconis gallopava. We observed a significant clinical improvement after 6 weeks of itraconazole therapy
Endovascular treatment of pulmonary arteriovenous malformations in hereditary haemorrhagic telangiectasia.
PRINCIPLES: To assess the efficiency and complication rates of vaso-occlusion of pulmonary arteriovenous malformations (PAVMs) in Rendu-Osler-Weber disease (hereditary haemorrhagic telangectasia; HHT).
METHODS: Seventy-two patients were investigated in our institution for HHT between March 2000 and November 2011. Sixteen presented PAVMs (22.2%), and 11 (68.8%) were treated with vaso-occlusion for a total of 18 procedures. Procedures included coils, plugs and combined approaches. Immediate success and recurrence rate, complication were recorded, as well as persistent and new PAVMs during clinical and computed tomography (CT) follow-up.
RESULTS: Eighteen procedures were performed and a total of 37 PAVMs were treated, 19 with coils, 16 with plugs and 2 with combined treatment. Mean CT follow-up time was 41 months (1‒164). No major complication was observed. One distal translocation was treated during the same intervention. Two PAVMs persisted after treatment (5.7%), both treated by means of plug embolisation. One new PAVM was observed during follow-up CT. PAVMs with an afferent artery of less than 3mm or asymptomatic PAVMs were not treated.
CONCLUSION: Recent studies have demonstrated that vaso-occlusion has become the gold standard treatment for PAVM. This study is in accordance with previous results and shows a minimal complication rate and little recurrence, whether by coils, plugs, or combined treatments
Investigation of the magnetic phase transition and magnetocaloric properties of the MnFeSbO ilmenite
The magnetic phase transition and magnetocaloric properties of mineral and
synthetic melanostibite MnFeSbO with ilmenite-type structure have been
studied. MnFeSbO orders ferrimagnetically below 270 K and is found to
undergo a second-order magnetic phase transition. The associated magnetic
entropy change amounts to 1.7 J/kgK for the mineral and 1.8 J/kgK synthetic
melanostibite for 5 T field change. For the synthetic MnFeSbO the
adiabatic temperature change was estimated from magnetic- and specific heat
measurements and amounts to 0.2 K in 1 T field change. Perspectives of the
promising functional properties of MnFeSbO-based materials are
discussed.Comment: 6 pages, 7 figure
