We have calculated 16 of the reduced transport collision integrals Ω (l, s)* as a function of
reduced temperature T* for the Lennard‐Jones (12–6) potential. These calculations are more …

This paper describes an experiment undertaken to determine observer error in measuring
blood pressure by the auscultatory method. A microcomputer was used to display a simulated …

The Barker‐Pompe, Barker‐Fisher‐Watts, and Parson‐Siska‐Lee potentials for Ar have been
studied as universal corresponding states models for Ne, Ar, Kr, and Xe. Optimum values …

Five cases of nosocomial infection caused by Serratia marcescens were traced to backflow
of blood from nonsterile evacuated blood-collection tubes. The mechanism of backflow was …

Abstract Design shortcomings in carbon dioxide absorber bypasses and conical connectors
in breathing circuits have been implicated in a number of fatal anaesthesia mishaps, In …

Interlaboratory (round-robin) testing was done on medical gloves of four materials of
manufacture. Leak testing was done by air inflation, water fill and chemical fill methods. The …

Conical connectors used in anaesthesia breathing circuits are prone to accidental disconnections.
We tested 291 connectors of 15 and 22 mm size and found that most did not comply …

Three jet injectors, the Ped-O-Jet, Med-E-Jet, and Medi-jector were evaluated for suitability
in a mass immunization program. The Ped-O-Jet is powered by a hydraulic foot pump, the …

Single-stage regulation of pressure cuffs may result in poor pressure control, with hysteresis
and hazardous effects detrimental to the patient. Evaluation of a widely used automatic …

This paper presents tables of collision integrals 0 (1··)*, collision integral ratios, higher order
correction factors for viscosity, thermal conductivity and diffusion, and the isotopic thermal …
