The response to proportional assist ventilation (PAV) was tested in four normal subjects
during heavy exercise and in five ventilator-dependent patients recovering from assorted …

Wewished to determine the independent effect of inspiratory flow rate (VI) on respiratory
output in the awakestate. Seven normal subjects were connected to a volume-cycled ventilator …

Background: Although a routine practice in all orthopaedic clinics, the use of cast saws is
not without risk of thermal and abrasive injury to patients. This study investigates the use of …

The assignment of infectious potency to test articles of adenovirus has been conducted mainly
using classical end-point dilution methods, which rely on virus induced cytopathology to …

… Thus, we believe that putty-clay is a key part of any explanation of the industry dynamics …
Moreover, we show that the putty-clay model is consistent with other market responses to …

… We find that in the putty–clay model permanent shifts in the distribution of returns have
first-… The dynamics resulting from such shifts differ sharply from those obtained with putty–putty …

Conscious humans easily detect loads applied to the respiratory system. Resistive loads as
small as 0.5 cmH2O.l-1.s can be detected. Previous work suggested that afferent information …

Changes in respiratory mechanical loads are readily detected by humans. Although it is
widely believed that respiratory muscle afferents serve as the primary source of information for …

The response of respiratory motor output to CO2 in the hypocapnic range (< 36 Torr PCO2)
in the absence of hypoxemia is not well characterized in awake normal humans. We induced …

… One model we consider is a putty-putty model … is a putty-clay model in which a large variety
of types of capital goods are combined with energy in different fixed proportions. The putty-…
