Pulmonary contusion (PC) is a common consequence of blunt trauma to the chest. PC occurs in 30-75% of cases of chest trauma, and in many cases this is further complicated by severe bone injuries of the chest wall. Despite much research into the subject, mortality and morbidity has not significantly improved in the past three decades. Advances in imaging have similarly failed to have any impact on outcomes.

The consequences of PC are manifold and include both local and systemic effects. Some of the local effects are: laceration of lung tissue, hemorrhage-filled alveoli, reduced compliance, increase in shunt fraction leading ...

In his article, Multiplicitous and Inorganic Bodies, Lynn tackles the relevance of understanding the principles of proportional geometry. By incorporating this principles on architectural designs, architects can achieve harmony which results to a natural, well-crafted work (Lynn, 1992). As a professor of architecture, Lynn is thoroughly concerned with the spatial bodies of inanimate objects he refers to as ‘organisms’. Lynn argues that in order to better understand any object, destroying it would be the first option. Similarly, biological sciences attempt to study the vital functions of the organs through live dissection and open surgery. In architecture, creating a plan is also a simple ...

Most psychologists attest to the potential of computers as powerful tools to test methods during psychological assessments. The introduction of computers in the 1950s was found to be very significant in facilitating scores, data management and analysis of results. In this review article, Butcher and colleagues (2004) aim to discuss the history and state of personality and neuropsychological tests that are processed through computers and how such method may be both helpful and problematic in the interpretation of the assessments of psychological data. Further, some issues regarding test interpretations through the computer were also emphasized along with the problems ...

Bitcoin is purely peer-peer electronic cash that makes it possible for online money payments to be remitted directly from one party to the other without having to go through financial institutions. With bitcoin, digital signatures are considered part of the solution but the problem arises when the trusted third party is needed to curtail any form of double spending. The solution to this double spending lies in bitcoin; this is because it timestamps transactions by hashing them into a hash-based work proof. This makes it form a network that will not be altered unless the proof-of work is redone. Bitcoin has ...

Over the years, it has become normal for all types of engineers to use process simulation in performing different tasks. Among the tasks that engineers rely on simulation include calculating energy and mass balances in flow-sheets in predicting the performances of alternative processes that can save companies and governments millions of shillings. As such, engineers must define complex flow-sheets as well as process conditions before the simulation process formally begins. It should be noted that desktop computers currently allow sizing, optimization, dynamic calculations, and rating which previously tended to demand large mainframe computers to compute. Additionally, more experts were ...
