Comparison of the effects of clonidine and yohimbine on spontaneous pupillary fluctuations in healthy human volunteers
Rationale: Spontaneous fluctuations in the size of the pupil in darkness are a recognized index of sleepiness, and these fluctuations can be quantitatively measured using the pupillographic sleepiness test (PST)...

A Model for Calculating Substrate Curvature During Coalescence of PT Islands on an Amorphous Substrate
Previous work using in-situ curvature measurement has shown a correlation between stress and microstructure during the early stages of thin film growth. The model presented here can be used to predict the curvatu...

Beneficial Effects of Rhenium Additions on the Cyclic-Oxidation Resistance of β-NiAl + α-Cr Alloys
This study reports the effects of up to 4 at.%rhenium addition on the cyclicoxidation behavior ofβ-NiAl + α-Cr alloys having a basecomposition (in at.%) Ni-40Al-17Cr. Tests were conductedin still air at 1100°C...

Understanding Sound
Before getting too involved in the BBC computer SOUND and ENVELOPE statements, it is essential to grasp the concepts involved in the production of sounds. There is little point in learning how to operate a too...

The Envelope Statement
Even if all the instruments in an orchestra were playing the same note, the sound produced by each type of instrument would be quite different. This is because the quality (or timbre) of each instrument is dif...

Introduction
Considering all the books that have been written about programming the BBC microcomputer, it might seem strange that the subject of this book is just two of the statements in BBC BASIC. However, these two stat...

The Sound Statement
There are two ways of getting the computer to do something. First you can give it a command it can carry out straight away; second you can give it a numbered instruction, often called a statement, which it can...

Assembly Language
One advantage of assembly language, and often its main reason for use, is its speed of execution. This is seldom an advantage for sound as the time taken to hear the sound is far longer than the execution spee...

Acid Hydrolysis of Sulphapyridines
SULPHAPYRIDINE (M and B 693) is readily hydrolysed by dilute mineral acids1. Many isomerides of sulphapyridine have been made and it has been found that the three isomeric derivatives from 3-aminopyridine (3-(o-,...
