    Notes: Abstract. The characteristics and variability of soils within a 30 ha experimental site in N. E. Nigeria are analysed in relation to tree establishment. Profile description and analyses for some 480 surface samples of the sandy to clayey surface soils from Lake Chad lacustrine sediments provide baseline properties against which any subsequent modifications resulting from agroforestry practices can be assessed and to which initial tree performance can be related. This has been undertaken using principal component and spatial analyses. Inherited soil properties show spatial variations across the site which can be related to the soil textural parameters. The initial survival of trees planted for agroforestry experimentation shows strong correlations with the inherited characteristics of the soil rather than with acquired soil properties.

    Notes: Abstract  We report a 55-year-old man, the recipient of a cardiac allograft for ischemic cardiomyopathy 9 years earlier, who presented with progressive aortic root dilation, worsening aortic insufficiency, and an incidentally discovered chronic type A aortic dissection limited to the donor aorta. The patient was taken to the operating room, and the aortic dissection successfully repaired using standard reoperative techniques. This is the sixth case reported in the literature, and only the fourth survivor. To our knowledge, this case represents the first successful repair, of a limited aortic dissection of the donor aorta postcardiac transplantation, using a composite valve graft and modified-Cabrol coronary reconstruction.

    Drowning of babies in bath seats: do they provide false reassurance? (2005)
    Oxford, UK : Blackwell Science Ltd
    Child 31 (2005), S. 0 
    Details
    ISSN: 1365-2214
    Source: Blackwell Publishing Journal Backfiles 1879-2005
    Topics: Medicine , Psychology
    Notes: Aims  To investigate the problem of children drowning in bath seats by examining case reports, by looking at the epidemiology of bath drowning in children under two years of age and by reviewing the literature.Methods  We describe two babies: one who drowned and one nearly drowned in the bath whilst in a bath seat. We examined the RoSPA/RLSS UK database of cases of children under two years drowning in the bath for the years 1989–2003. Cases are ascertained through a press cutting system. We conducted an all language literature search of original articles, references, textbooks and conference abstracts 1951 – October 2004 in 11 standard databases.Results  The two cases illustrate how parents can have a false sense of security with bath seats. We found six cases of babies under two years drowning in the UK associated with bath seats in the time period 1989–2003. They were all boys: five of the six were under one year of age. This compared with 47 children of similar age drowning in the bath not associated with a bath seat. The literature is sparse with only four papers since 1966.Discussion  A baby drowning after being placed in a bath seats is a rare but definite cause of death. Bath seats appear to give a false sense of security (even if not encouraged by the manufacturers). It is unclear whether putting a baby in a bath seat represents an increased risk of drowning compared with a baby without a seat. Without knowing the numbers of mothers that use bath seats it is difficult to come to firm conclusions on the risks to babies. New research is needed to clarify this issue. Whether in a seat or not it is clear that the main risk to babies in the bath is being left unsupervised.

    Notes: Abstract Reported here is the clinical presentation and management of patients with rapidly growing non-tuberculous mycobacterial infection diagnosed in a paediatric oncology unit. A retrospective analysis that correlated patient isolates with the children's cancer registry revealed two cases of non-tuberculous mycobacterial infection; both had been observed within the last 6 years and were due toMycobacterium chelonae. The first case was line-associated and the second was a disseminated infection. In both cases the patients were lymphopenic and had had indwelling vascular catheters. Neither patient was neutropenic. The literature on mycobacterial infection in children with cancer is also reviewed.

    First observation of excited states in 184Pb: spectroscopy beyond the neutron mid-shell (1998)

    Notes: Abstract: Excited states have been identified for the first time in 184Pb, the first even-even Pb isotope beyond the 82 〈 N 〈 126 mid-shell, using the recoil-decay tagging (RDT) technique. A collective band built on the first-excited 2+ state has been observed. This resembles those seen in 186,188Pb and the Hg isotones, and can thus be associated with a prolate-deformed shape. Variable moment of inertia (VMI) fits of the prolate 0+ level energies in 184,186,188Pb indicate that the minimum appears at N= 103, the same neutron number at which the corresponding minimum in Hg isotopes is observed.

    Notes: Abstract Research is described, aimed to support traceability in the design of software for safety-critical applications, through the provision of an on-line design journal enabling design decisions and actions to be traced and recorded. The design environment, within which various software design tools may be encapsulated, enables protocol between the user and the design tools to be trapped. This provides software engineering support at the conceptual design stage. An important aim of the research is to enable inferences to be made from the captured protocol, for which the application of artificial intelligence methods is being investigated.

    A novel neural network technique for the valuation of residential property (1997)

    Notes: Abstract A number of published studies have investigated the application of neural network technology to residential property appraisal. The majority of these studies have concentrated on homogeneous areas (that is areas where properties are subject to the same environment and locational factors). This is generally done to restrict the data set to one local sub- market. However, the models created are specialised and not locationally portable. This paper presents a methodology, which builds on research reported by James [1], in which a Kohonen map is used to uncover sub-markets within a large data set that are subsequently independently used to train a series of back-propagation networks. (The paper also introduces a novel boundary detection algorithm for a Kohonen self organising map.) The study concludes that by modelling possible sub-markets an acceptable accuracy over a heterogeneous area can be achieved. The work presented in this paper is funded via a Realising Our Potential Award under the auspices of the ESRC.
