Balanced Justice: Mr. Justice Powell and the Constitution

In his first five years on the United States Supreme Court, Justice Lewis F. Powell, Jr. has become and will most likely continue to be a leading force in shaping the direction of the Court. In many areas, Justice Powell\u27s desire for judicial flexibility as well as judicial restraint has made him a leader in turning the Burger Court away from the bright-line tests enunciated by the Warren Court. However, where the Warren Court had been flexible, Justice Powell has usually preserved this flexibility and expanded it if possible. The tool consistently utilized to achieve this flexibility has been a balancing formula that has sought to accommodate all the competing interests

Miopatia Pós-Anestésica em Equino - Relato de Caso

TCC(graduação) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina. Campus Curitibanos. Medicina Veterinária.O presente trabalho tem como objetivo descrever um caso de miopatia pós-anestésica em um equino atendido no Hospital Veterinário da Universidade Federal do Paraná - UFPR Curitiba, permanecendo internado por um período de cinco dias, sendo eutanasiado no quinto dia. A miopatia é uma das principais complicações pós-anestésicas em equinos, que ocorre devido ao procedimento de longa duração, decúbito e mal acolchoamento da mesa cirúrgica. Os animais acometidos têm dificuldade em se manter em pé, músculos firmes palpáveis e sinais de dor intensa. Os fármacos utilizados também interferem na ocorrência da miopatia, devido a hipotensão. O tratamento de miopatia é de suporte fluido venoso e vasodilatadores para promover o fluxo sanguíneo periférico e anti-inflamatórios para auxiliar na restauração da função muscular.The present study aims to describe a case of postanesthetic myopathy in an equine treated at the Veterinary Hospital of UFPR Curitiba, staying interned for a period of five days, being euthanized on the fifth day. Myopathy is one the main postanesthetic complications in horses, due to long-term procedure, decubitus and poor cushioning of the surgical table. The affected animals have difficulty in standing, firm palpable muscles and signs of intense pain. The drugs used also interfere with the occurrence of myopathy due to hypotension. The treatment of myopathy is supportive, venous fluid and vasodilators to promote peripheral blood flow and anti-inflammatory to assist in restoring muscle function

Surface reaction and transport in mixed conductors with electrochemically-active surfaces: a 2-D numerical study of ceria

A two-dimensional, small-bias model has been developed for describing transport through a mixed ionic and electronic conductor (MIEC) with electrochemically-active surfaces, a system of particular relevance to solid oxide fuel cells. Utilizing the h-adaptive finite-element method, we solve the electrochemical potential and flux for both ionic and electronic species in the MIEC, taking the transport properties of Sm)(0.15)Ce_(0.85)O_(1.925_ δ) (SDC15). In addition to the ionic flux that flows between the two sides of the cell, there are two types of electronic fluxes: (1) cross-plane current that flows in the same general direction as the ionic current, and (2) in-plane current that flows between the catalytically-active MIEC surface and the metal current collectors. From an evaluation of these fluxes, the macroscopic interfacial resistance is decomposed into an electrochemical reaction resistance and an electron diffusion-drift resistance, the latter associated with the in-plane electronic current. Analysis of the experimental data for the interfacial resistance for hydrogen electro-oxidation on SDC15 having either Pt or Au current collectors (W. Lai and S. M. Haile, J. Am. Ceram. Soc., 2005, 88, 2979–2997; W. C. Chueh, W. Lai and S. M. Haile, Solid State Ionics, 2008, 179, 1036–1041) indicates that surface reaction rather than electron migration is the overall rate-limiting step, and suggests furthermore that the surface reaction rate, which has not been directly measured in the literature, scales with p_(O2)^(-1/4). The penetration depth for the in-plane electronic current is estimated at 0.6 mm for the experimental conditions of interest to SDC15, and is found to attain a value as high as 4 mm within the broader range of computational conditions
